The eleven previous workshops were held in Awajishima, Japan (APWS 2003), Hsinchu, Taiwan (APWS 2005), Jeonju, Korea (APWS 2007), Zhangjiajie, China (APWS 2009), Toba, Japan (APWS 2011), New Taipei, Taiwan (APWS 2013), Seoul, Korea (APWS 2015), Qingdao, China (APWS 2017), Okinawa, Japan(APWS 2019), Taoyuan, Taiwan(APWS 2022), and Busan, Korea（APWS 2024）.

A lot of researchers from the Asia and Pacific region will join those from other parts of the world in stimulating discussions on widegap and ultra-widegap semiconductors such as III-nitrides, Silicon Carbides, Gallium Oxides, Diamonds, and h-BNs etc.

APWS 2026 consists of plenary sessions and a series of parallel oral sessions that include keynote, invited and contributed talks, as well as poster sessions, an excursion, a banquet, and industrial exhibitions.

The conference will be held in Xi'an. As an ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, Xi'an's profound cultural heritage and beautiful urban environment will provide unique support for academic exchange and leave a lasting impression on all participants.

I do thank you for your participation and contributions in advance and look forward to seeing you all in APWS 2026.

Sincerely,

Yue Hao
