Nano and Giga Challenges in Electronics, Photonics and Renewable Energy
Symposium and Summer School (Tutorial Lectures)
Moscow - Zelenograd, Russia, September 12-16, 2011

Informational (electronics and photonics) and renewable energy (solar 
systems, fuel cells and batteries) technologies have reached a new 
stage in their development – engineering limits in cost effective 
improvement of current technological approaches. The latest miniaturization 
of electronic devices is approaching atomic dimensions, interconnect 
bottlenecks are limiting circuit speeds, new materials are being introduced 
into microelectronics manufacture at an unprecedented rate, and alternative 
technologies to mainstream CMOS are being considered. The low cost of 
natural energy sources and ignorance of the limits and environmental 
impact from use of natural carbon based fuels have been long standing 
economic barriers to the development of alternative and more efficient 
solar systems, fuel cells and batteries. Nanotechnology is widely accepted 
as a source of potential solutions in securing future progress in 
information and energy technologies.

The NGC20011 conference in Russia invites academic and industrial 
researchers to present tutorial, expository and original research 
papers dedicated to solving scientific and technological problems 
in electronics, photonics and renewable energy such as atomic scale 
materials design, bio- and molecular electronics, high frequency 
electronics, fabrication of nanodevices; magnetic materials and 
spintronics; materials and processes for integrated and subwave 
optoelectronics, nanoCMOS, new materials for FETs and other devices, 
nanoelectronics system architecture, nano optics and lasers, non-silicon 
materials and devices, quantum effects in devices, nano science and 
technology applications in development of novel solar energy devices, 
and fuel cells and batteries. We also invite inventors, entrepreneurs 
and business leaders to explore the unique opportunity provided by our 
interdisciplinary forum for technical due diligence and potential 
commercialization of emerging new technologies. Sponsors and exhibitors 
are welcome and will be supported by the organizers in their needs for 
networking and marketing of their products and organizations.

Hosted by Moscow State University and NT-MDT the NGC2011 conference will 
include the summer school (tutorial lectures), symposium and a few satell
ite workshops. The first three meetings in the series of Nano & Giga 
Challenges conferences, NGCM2002 in Moscow, NGCM2004 in Krakow, and 
NGC2007 in Phoenix, were focused on the interdisciplinary research in 
electronics and photonics from the fundamentals of materials science to 
the development of new system architectures. Our last forum in Canada 
(NGC2009), which was held as a joint meeting with 14th Canadian 
Semiconductor Technology Conference (CSTC2009), expanded its topics to 
renewable energy research and development based on semiconductor and 
other materials including organic and biomolecular systems. We believe 
that expertise exchange and transfer between electronics, photonics and 
renewable energy R & D will help in addressing challenges and finding 
breakthrough solutions in both areas vital for the progress of the human 
society – information and energy technologies.
