First Call for Papers

14th International
Conference on
Nitride Semiconductors(ICNS-14)

Scope of the Conference
The conference will present high-impact scientific andtechnological advances in materials and devices based ongroup-III nitride semiconductors, and feature plenary sessions,parallel topical sessions, poster sessions and an industrialexhibition. The first conference is a combination of the TopicalWorkshop on III-V Nitrides held in Nagoya, Japan and the MRS
Intl Symposium on Gallium Nitride and Related Materials heldin Boston, USA in 1995. The twelve conferences were held inTokushima, Japan (ICNS-2 1997); Montpellier, France (ICNS-31999); Denver, USA (ICNS-4 2001); Nara, Japan (ICNS-5 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-112015); Strasbourg, France (ICNS-12 2017) and Bellevue, USA(ICNS-13 2019).
ICNS-14 will be organized as a combination of several
independent sessions. In each session, in-depth discussions
will be held on a focused aspect of the essential physics andchemistry underlying the critical issues associated with nitride
semiconductors. Such scientific activities will contribute to thebreakthrough of the critical technological barriers that need to
be overcome to improve the performances of nitride devices.

Format of the Conference

November 12-17, 2023
Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk,
Fukuoka, Japan

Sponsored by
 The Japanese Association for Crystal Growth
Endorsed by
 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

ICNS-14 will start with an introductory plenary session inwhich the current status and trends of nitride materials
research and device development will be reviewed to set abasis for discussions during the conference. The following
parallel topical sessions, which include sessions covering
growth, characterization, and devices, will provide
opportunities for in-depth discussions. The topical sessions
will offer a strong program of invited/contributed talks andposter presentations covering the newest results on all theaspects of nitrides such as material processing, physics,devices, theory, and novel concepts.

be announced in the Final Circular.

Exhibition and Sponsorship
A commercial exhibition will feature international
exhibitors from all sectors of materials science and engineeringcommunities. Official sponsors for various conference events
are also solicited.

VenueFukuoka city is located on the northern area of the island
Kyushu in Japan. Fukuoka is Japan’s 6th largest city with 1.5
million residents. Fukuoka Airport (FUK) is located to the eastof the city, close to downtown Fukuoka, and is accessible from
Tokyo (NRT and HND), Osaka (ITM and KIX), and Nagoya (NGO).
There are also scheduled flights from major cities.
The conference will take place in Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk,
which is located at the prime oceanfront area near the heartof Fukuoka overlooking Hakata Bay. The conference venue has
extensive meeting space with the latest technology.

Submission of Abstracts

will open in 2023. The deadline of abstract submission is June
16, 2023. Please avail the detailed information on the abstract
format from the website.

Conference Topics
We invite you to submit papers to ICNS-14 on all aspects offundamental and applied research related to nitride
semiconductors.
Growth:
