Awards
The International Symposium for Compound Semiconductors is the venue for presentation of four prestigious awards. The awards to be made at ISCS 2012 are:
- The Welker Award
sponsored by: 
- The Quantum Device Award
- The Young Scientist Award
- The Best Student Paper Award
The Welker Award was established in 1976 by Siemens AG in honor of Heinrich Welker, the pioneer in the field of III-V compound semiconductors. The award is now supported by Osram GmbH and presented for outstanding and pioneering research in the area of III-V compound semiconductors.
The Quantum Device Award was initiated by Fujitsu Quantum Devices Ltd. in 2000 and is now sponsored by the Japanese Section of the ISCS Steering Committee. The award honors pioneering contributions to the field of compound semiconductor and quantum/nanostructure devices which have made a major impact in the past two decades. New device concepts and structures, device physics and modeling as well as device realization and characterization are areas included in the award.
The Young Scientist Award is supported by the Symposium. Established in 1986, the award acknowledges technical achievements in the field of compound semiconductors by a scientist younger than 40 years on the first day of the Symposium.
The Best Student Paper awardee will be selected by members of the program committee.
