Preface

The International Meeting for Future of Electron Devices, Kansai (IMFEDK) was established in 2003 to provide an international opportunity for technical discussion in Kansai, Japan. Multidisciplinary discussions by various researchers and engineers from different point of views are much expected in the meeting for creating embryos of science and/or technology to be the main stream of device technology in future. That is why the meeting is set to cover all areas of electron devices and related fields in both theories and experiments ranging from fundamentals to feasibility studies including applications. This year, 4 outstanding invited papers, 14 oral papers and 33 poster papers are included. We hope the conference to be the best and exciting place for young researchers to discuss, since they must be essential in the future activities on science and technologies. Conference theme of this year is “New functional devices for the next generation”.
