Description: The International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM) is the most important technical conference series on silicon carbide (SiC) and related materials. Started in Washington, D.C. in 1987, the conference series developed into a bi-annual global forum on SiC from its crystal growth to the reliability in application. After five conferences in the U.S., ICSCRM has been held every two years, alternating between USA, Europe, and Japan. The last three Conferences were held in Giardini Naxos, Italy (2015), Washington, D.C. , USA (2017), and Kyoto, Japan (2019). Due to the pandemic situation in 2020 and 2021, the alternating European edition, the 13th ECSCRM, has been held in 2021, and the 19th ICSCRM has been postponed to 2022. The 19th edition of ICSCRM will be the last of its kind – starting in 2023, the conference series will be united with the European edition. It will form an annual event under the well-established name ICSCRM and a new rotation schedule integrating the SiC communities worldwide.

Description: In the field of engineering, the ability of a finished part to fulfil its function in the intended application is closely related to properties of materials for its production. The development of new high-technology structural materials, adapted to each new application, requires knowledge of base matter properties, the regularity of changes in its microstructure and properties during processing. This volume contains results of research of the microstructures of materials, methods by which the latter are worked, the effect of interactions at the interfaces for multi-materials and how structure determines their final properties.

Description: The Asia-Pacific Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (APCSCRM 2018) was held on July 9-12, 2018 in Beijing, China. This collection compiled by results of this conference and reflect new developments in the areas of wide bandgap semiconductors (SiC, GaN, Ga₂O₃, and etc.) and their device fabrication, including advances in the bulk and epitaxial growth, material structure and property, photoelectron and electronic device. We hope that this edition will be interesting and useful for many specialists from the area of research and designing of semiconductor materials and semiconductor devices.
