Scope of the Conference

The conference will present high-impact scientific andtechnological advancements in materials and devices
based on group-III nitride semiconductors and feature
plenary sessions, parallel topical sessions, poster
sessions, and an industrial exhibition. The first
conference was a conjunction of the Topical Workshop
on III-V Nitrides and the MRS International Symposium
on Gallium Nitride and Related Materials held in Nagoya,Japan and Boston, USA, respectively, in 1995. The
following twelve conferences were held in Tokushima,Japan (ICNS-2 1997); Montpellier, France (ICNS-31999); Denver, USA (ICNS-4 2001); Nara, Japan (ICNS5 2003); Bremen, Germany (ICNS-6 2005); Las Vegas,USA (ICNS-7 2007), Jeju, Korea (ICNS-8 2009);
Glasgow, UK (ICNS-9 2011); Washington DC, USA(ICNS-10 2013), Beijing, China (ICNS-11 2015);
Strasbourg, France (ICNS-12 2017) and Bellevue, USA(ICNS-13 2019).
ICNS-14 will organize several parallel sessions. In
each session, in-depth discussions on a focused aspect of
the essential physics and chemistry underlying thecritical issues associated with nitride semiconductors
will be held, contributing to the breakthroughs of thecritical technological barriers that must be overcome toimprove the performance of nitride devices.

Format of the Conference

ICNS-14 will begin with an introductory plenary sessionin which the current status and trends of nitride material
research and device development will be reviewed,
setting a basis for the discussions over the course of theconference. The following parallel topical sessions will
provide opportunities for in-depth discussions via a
vigorous program of invited/contributed talks and poster
presentations covering the latest results on nitrides,
including material processing, physics, devices, theory,and novel ideas.

Conference Language

The official language of the conference will be English.

Abstract Deadline: June 16th, 2023
Abstracts submission is available at https://icns14.jp,
information regarding abstract formatting is available.

Late News Papers

Special Issue

All presentations at ICNS-14 will have the opportunity
to submit a full-length paper to Physica Status Solidi(pss). According to ICNS tradition, the special issue will
be published in pss (a) and (b) after peer review. In
addition, selected papers will be published in pss (RRL)- Rapid Research Letters. All authors are encouraged tosubmit their manuscripts to the special issue. Thedeadline of the manuscript submission is December 15th,2023. The instructions for preparing the manuscript will
be given on the conference website shortly, which
essentially obey the pss standard. The manuscripts will
be reviewed by the normal reviewing process of pss. The
publication charge will be included in a Registration Feeof the author. Regular open-access option can be orderedby paying the corresponding costs of 4020 USD (as ofMarch 31st, 2023). It should be noted that the publicationof no-show papers at the conference without unavoidable,
legal reasons shall be canceled to eliminate no-show
based submissions.
