The ISCS Awards
The International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors is the venue for presentation of three prestigious prizes. The awards to be made are:
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 given away for outstanding research in the area of III-V compound semiconductors.
