Preface

The 9th Spanish Conference on Electron Devices brings together the work of both research groups and companies on the field of electronic devices. This edition will take place from the 12th to the 14th of February of 2013, in Valladolid, carrying on with a series of previous events in Palma de Mallorca 2011), Santiago de Compostela 2009), El Escorial (Madrid, 2007), Tarragona (2005), Calella de la Costa (2003), Granada (2001), Madrid (1999) and Barcelona (1997). As usual, the Conference program consists of invited and contributed papers organized in the topic sessions. The Congress will conclude with a workshop about Solar Energy, which will be composed by 7 talks, 22 posters and a round table with the participation of companies from the Solar Energy Cluster of Castilla and Le??n. Just before the CDE conference opening, a Mini Colloquium (MQ) of Electron Device Society (EDS) will take place at the same venue as CDE, without additional registration fees. In this way, all the CDE participants may attend to both events. The total number of contributions is 122: 2 plenary talks, 11 invited talks, 25 talks, and 84 posters. Most of the contributions presented at this conference come from Spanish Universities and Research Centers. 30% of them are fruit of the cooperation between Spanish and foreigner institutions and 15% of the works come from researchers of foreign countries. It is important to point out the high number of collaborations among different institutions (41%), so indicating the increase of cooperative work of the Spanish research groups in the CDE scope.
