The joint workshop “Interfaces in semiconductors - building understanding across the scales” was organized by University of Oslo and SINTEFMaterials and Chemistry, and with the main ambition of bringing together key players from different fields of nanoscience and semiconductor interfaces. In addition, the workshop aimed at attracting renowned international scientists and collaborators in this field of research. The background for such an ambition is the combined strength that lays in the four national infrastructures – NorFab, NORTEM, NICE, and NOTUR. The different groups involved in this workshop have strong ties to one or more of these infrastructures. The unique concept of this workshop laid in the combination of all these resources towards one common field of science; namely semiconductor interfaces on the nano-scale. In particular, semiconductor properties and interfaces, advanced electron spectroscopy and theoretical modeling of interfaces were key topics.
