The International Conference “Micro- and Nanoelectronics – 2012” (ICMNE-2012) including the extended Session “Quantum Informatics” (QI-2012) and the Workshop "Silicon-on-Insulator" (SOI-2012)  will be held in October 1-5, 2012 at the “Lipki” resort, Zvenigorod, Moscow Region, Russia. It continues the series of the All-Russian Conferences "MNE-1999", "MNE-2001", "QI-2002" and the International Conferences "ICMNE-2003", "QI-2004", "ICMNE-2005", "QI-2005", "ICMNE-2007", "QI-2007", "ICMNE-2009", and "QI-2009".

   ICMNE is a biannual event covering the main fields of micro- and nanoelectronic technologies and device physics. ICMNE-2012 will be focused on recent progress in that area. The conference will include the exhibition on equipment for micro- and nanoelectronics.

Deadline for abstracts submission is June 30, 2012

Proceedings:

   SPIE (http://www.spie.org) will publish the full-text papers in a separate volume of the Proceedings of SPIE dedicated to ICMNE-2012 after Conference termination.

   The authors should prepare manuscripts of the full-text papers according to the rules of the SPIE Proceedings (see the Downloads section) and submit it by the service MySPIE. Further information on full-text publications will be given later.

   The full-text manuscripts should be sent to SPIE by November 5, 2012. Please, post the attached manuscript specifications and SPIE transfer of the copyright form to the ICMNE-2012 Local Committee.

   The papers not presented at ICMNE-2012 will not be published in the Proceedings.

   The Conference program will comprise of invited and contributed papers. Contributed papers will be reviewed by the members of the Program Committee on the basis of submitted abstracts for their being in theme with the Conference and for their scientific quality. The Program Committee will determine the session (oral or poster) on which the paper will be presented. Author’s preferences will also be taken into consideration.
