The Wide-Bandgap III-Nitride Workshop is the 8th in a series that began in St. Louis in 1992. Participation of the entire GaN materials and device communities is encouraged. The program includes short oral presentations on specific topics (listed below) as well as poster sessions. Generous time for questions has been scheduled, and no parallel sessions are planned. Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts of short (15 minute) papers under the following topical areas:
