Vision and Topics: The International Symposium on Integrated Ferroelectrics (ISIF) has been held every year since its creation in 1987, initially at two main sites (Colorado Springs and Monterrey in the USA), and in recent years opened to sites in Europe and Asia. The ISIF has gathered researchers and engineers from academia, national laboratories, and industries, initially focused on fundamental and applied science of ferroelectric and high-dielectric constant thin films, materials integration, and design & fabrication of advanced devices, such as non-volatile ferroelectric random access memories (FeRAMs), ferroelectric thin film-based tunable microwave components and devices, sensors, photovoltaic ferroelectrics for solar cells, micro-electro-mechanical & nano-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS/NEMs). FeRAMS are now making strong inroads into the “smart cards’ and RFID markets and companies like Hynix in Korea, and Matsushita-Panasonic, Fujitsu and Toshiba in Japan are making progress in the development of the next generation of FeRAMS.

Considering the significant progress made in recent years on other memory technologies, besides FeRAMS, and the emergence of novel materials with multifunctionalities and integration into multifunctional devices, the general chairs in consultation with the scientific community, have now expanded the focus of ISIF to include the science and technology of other multifunctional materials and their integration, such as multiferroics, magnetic, phase and resistive change, hard (e.g., diamond) and soft (e.g., biomaterials) materials, which integrated with other oxides traditionally addressed in prior ISIF’s, provide a new vision for science & technology of what can be defined as the field of integrated functionalities. Accordingly, the Symposium is now named “International Symposium on Integrated Functionalities” in order to broaden its scope to address the scientific and technological paradigm shift towards inclusion of the exciting scientific topics and technologies involving several multifunctional materials, in addition to oxides for Electronics as discussed above. The first symposium under this new title will be held in San Juan, PR, and we hope to attract large and small companies beyond the field of integrated ferroelectrics, to invigorate the ISIF, with a vision to the future of multifunctional materials and devices.
