Journal of Electronic Materials

The Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM) is a monthly archival publication that reports on the science and technology of electronic materials, while examining new applications for semiconductors, magnetic alloys, insulators, and optical and display materials. The editor in chief is Suzanne Mohney

Published by the Electronic, Magnetics & Photonic Materials Division of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the journal contains peer-reviewed technical papers detailing critical new developments in the electronics field, as well as invited and contributed review papers on topics of current interest, designed to enable those in the field of electronics to keep abreast of activities in areas vital to their own technical interests.

Articles that appear in JEM are reviewed, selected, and edited by peers in the field who serve as voluntary members of the editorial board or the board of associate editors or as section editors. Generally, they are members of the Electronic Materials Committee of TMS or are members of IEEE.

CURRENT TRENDS IN INTEGRATED OPTOELECTRONICS

This compilation of review articles by leading experts presents clearly the trend in future optoelectronic devices. It is clear that optoelectronic and photonic integration help to further improve high-speed system capabilities and increase the total systems and network capacities with WDM technology. The foundation of the integration technology is based on quantum well materials, and advanced epitaxial growth and device processing techniques. The integrated laser/ modulators, multi-wavelength laser arrays, and OEIC receivers have demonstrated the feasibility of this technology, but much work remains to be done to put such technology to practice.
