Would potential users of this proposed newsgroup like to give their opinions on this (YES or NO) either by following on to this post (which should appear in news.groups) or as email to Fred Bertsch ([email protected]), Swami Srinivasan ([email protected]), or Lachlan Cranswick ([email protected]). =============================================== Please note if a particular topic of semiconductors becomes very popular or there is a perceived need to create a subset of this newsgroup such as "AAA", "BBB" or "CCC", etc - it is relatively easy to create a sci.engr.semiconductors.devices, sci.engr.semiconductors.processing, sci.engr.semiconductors.opto, sci.engr.semiconductors.announce, etc. providing the support for it is there. (The names of the subgroups can be changed later.) ========================================================= Request For Discussion (RFD) of sci.engr.semiconductors (unmoderated). Proposers : Fred Bertsch ([email protected]) Lachlan Cranswick ([email protected]) Swami Srinivasan ([email protected]) Andrew Pagett ([email protected]) John W. Cobb ([email protected]) Please note that this proposed newsgroup is intended to be an open forum for discussion of semiconductors. Thus relevant topics for this newsgroup should only be limited to what the participants in this proposed newsgroup regard as semiconductors. -------------------------------------------- We propose a new unmoderated newsgroup called sci.engr.semiconductors. The main aim of sci.engr.semiconductors is to provide an open forum for the discussion of semiconductors and related fields on the internet. (Could people reading this post mention it to colleagues who might be interested and benefit from a semiconductors group but not normally use the internet newsgroups.) Proposed Name of Group ------------------------- sci.engr.semiconductors (unmoderated) Purpose of New Newsgroup --------------------------- The purpose of sci.engr.semiconductors is to provide an open discussion forum for the semiconductors community on the internet. The newsgroups allow the rapid and timely discussion of opinions and information that would take months or years (or not at all) on conventional paper journals. Topics for discussion would include :- --------------------------------------- Semiconductor materials Semiconductor and device physics Diodes Transistors Semiconductor lasers & LEDs Photodetectors Solar cells Microelectromechanical systems Vacuum microelectronics Quantum effect devices Thin film linear devices Thin film displays Other semiconductor devices Thin film superconducting devices Integrated optics Nonlinear optical devices Crystal growth Oxidation Lithography Diffusion Ohmic contacts Ion implantation Etching Deposition Other thin film processing techniques Analytical techniques Process simulation Device simulation Interconnects Reliability/testing Microelectronic and optoelectronic packaging Vacuum technology Equipment - specs, opinions, etc. Clean room technology Economics of IC fabrication Software Databases Announcements/reviews of papers/conferences. General Discussion/opinions/questions. Education Positions vacant Anything else that is relevant to semiconductors in general. --------------------------------------------------------------- What is the Process of Creating a Newsgroup ------------------------------------------- >(a) RFD: Discussion, i.e., public hearing to take place in the newsgroup news.groups for approximately one month (b) CFV: Call for votes (the voting period will be about 25 days) (c) Counting of votes and public display of votes (d) Announcement of new newsgroup (a)-->(b) assumes no major disagreements about this newsgroup during discussion. (c)-->(d) assumes that the vote is favourable., i.e., Y > N+100 .and. Y > (2/3)(Y+N) Y being the number of YES votes, N being the number of NO votes for the creation of the proposed newsgroup. ============================================= Please comment/criticise/suggest by followons to this post or replying to the sender of this post or one of the other proposers.

HOW TO VOTE Send MAIL to: [email protected] Just Replying should work if you are not reading this on a mailing list. Your mail message should contain one of the following statements: I vote YES on sci.engr.semiconductors I vote NO on sci.engr.semiconductors You may also ABSTAIN in place of YES/NO - this will not affect the outcome. Anything else may be rejected by the automatic vote counting program. The votetaker will respond to your received ballots with a personal acknowledge- ment by mail - if you do not receive one within several days, try again. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is registered correctly. Only one vote per person and per account will be counted.
