1. Introduction
This leaf presents instructions for preparing camera-ready summaries to be submitted to the 2015 International Conference on Solid State Devices and Materials(SSDM 2015). The set of instructions is given in the styleand format to be used by the authors. Papers to be presented at the Conference will be selected by each Program
Subcommittee on the basis of submitted summaries. The
summaries of accepted papers will be printed and bound in
the Extended Abstracts for the Conference. All the authorsof invited papers, regular papers and late news papers areexpected to carefully follow the instructions.
A two-page camera-ready paper must be submitted via
the conference web site: http://www.ssdm.jp. Please notethat submissions by post will not be accepted.
2. General Instructions
Contents
Summaries should contain a concise description of theobjectives of the study, method of approach, significant
results and conclusions.
Page Format
Submitted summaries must be camera-ready and in 2pages. Use A4 size or 8.5”×11” (US letter size) paper.
Typing area is 178mm×241mm (7”×9.5”). Both text andfigures must fit inside this area as indicated by the angles
shown at the corners on this page. For A4 size paper, set
the top margin to 30mm (1.18”), the bottom margin to25mm (1”), the left margin to 17mm (0.68”) and the rightmargin to 16mm (0.64”). The column width is 86mm (3.4”)
with a 5mm (0.2”) separation between the two columns. If
you use 8.5”×11” paper, set the top margin to 20mm(0.78”), the bottom margin to 19mm (0.75") and the left
and right margins to 19mm (0.75”). Pages will be reproduced with the same size (100%) on A4 size papers in theExtended Abstracts.
Text must be typed or printed clearly in English. At thecenter top of the first page, the title of the paper, author
name(s), affiliation(s), address(es), and contact author’s
phone number, and e-mail address should be given. Usecapital letters for the initial letter of each word except articles, prepositions and conjunctions. Place a blank line between the title and author name(s), and between the address(es) and the main text.
The main text should be typed single-spaced in the twocolumns. The sections should be numbered beginning with
“1. Introduction”. Acknowledgements and References
should not be numbered. Place a blank line between thesections. Subsection headings, if any, should not be numbered. Justify the column at both the right and the left.
Don’t forget to check spelling.
Figures and Tables
A summary may be furnished with Figures and Tables.
Large figures and tables may span both columns. Photographs should be high contrast black and white originals.
Figure captions should be placed below the figures; tablecaptions above the tables. Arabic numerals should be used
for figures like Fig. 1, and Roman numerals for tables likeTable I. Place a blank line between the text and the tables
or figures.

Equations
Equations, if any, should appear on a separate line from thetext with a blank space above and below. The equation
number should appear in parentheses flush with the rightmargin, as shown below for eq. (1). Punctuate equations

are desirable. To avoid unexpected problems in the reviewing process, fonts for double-byte characters such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc. fonts cannot be used for bothfigures and texts.
Color
Because the Extended Abstracts will be distributed as aUSB memory, we recommend using colored images.
References
List and number all the references, if any, at the end ofthe summary. The reference style in accordance with theone found in the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics isrecommended. When referring to them in the text, the reference number should be designated by square brackets likethis [1].
3. Conclusions
A typical example of the page style and format for thecamera-ready summaries for SSDM 2015 has been given.
Acknowledgements
