With its 55th annual conference being held in 2023, SSDM is one of the most reputable international conferences on the science and technology of devices and materials. The SSDM covers a wide spectrum of topics related to solid state devices and materials, extended to those for the multidisciplinary and emerging research fields. Twelve areas have been set up to facilitate active discussion among academia, industry and government.

Key researchers will also be invited from all over the world to present the cutting edge research in the rapidly advancing fields. Your contribution is highly solicited from both industry and academia. A special issue of the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics (JJAP) focusing on this conference is scheduled to be published. Exhibition booths will also be set up for companies and agencies that may exhibit devices, technologies and information relevant to the research and development efforts to participants.

The last conference, SSDM2022, was held as a hybrid format, in‐person/on‐site meeting with virtual components, due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. For the SSDM2023, we are planning to have in‐person sessions/meetings as before the pandemic. Of couse, we are closely monitoring the global infection status of COVID‐19 to ensure the health and safety of SSDM conference participants.
