2007 will mark the 22th anniversary of the ICFSI series and for the first time it will happen below the equator line, in the hearth of the amazon forest, in Manaus, the capital of the Amazonas State in Brazil.

ICFSI-11 will primarily focus on general aspects of semiconductor materials, surfaces and interfaces within the topics that are of strong current interest in semiconductor surface and interface science. In particular it will include the following topics (but will not be limited to):

- Atomic structure and morphology

- Nanostructures, nanochemistry and elementary processes

- Electronic and optical properties

- Compound, wide band gap, organic and magnetic semiconductors

- Metal-semiconductor and insulator-semiconductor interfaces

- Heterojunctions

- Passivation and metallization

- Oxides, nitrides and high-k dielectrics

- Advanced experimental techniques

- State-of-the-art theoretical approaches

- Nanoelectronics, molecular electronics, nanophotonics, and spintronics

- Supramolecular structures and functionalization of surfaces and interfaces

- Frontiers aspects of semiconductor, surfaces and interfaces: applications in biosensors, medicine and enviromental issues. Nanobiotechnology applications
