	INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION The proceedings of the conference will be published by Elsevier in a special Volume of the Journal MICROELECTRONIC ENGINEERING. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper format: A4   Height: 29,7 cm   Width: 21 cm Margins top: 2,5 cm left: 2,5 cm bottom: 2 cm right: 2,5 cm Page length of the papers will be 12 printed pages each for invited papers, and 6 printed pages each for contributed papers (oral, poster). The following guidelines can be used to estimate the approximate length of an article: Text: A journal page with only printed text contains about 750 words. Takes up about 1/3 page (a figure consisiting of several subfigures takes up about 1/2-2/3 page up to 1 page or more) depending of course on the size and details of the figure. Figure: The space taken up by a figure can be estimated by reducing its size to approximately 10 cm and then see if the figure is still legible. If not, the legends to the axes and the lettering should be enlarged. The maximum width of the figure is 16 cm. Table: takes up about 1/3 page (depending of course on the number of entries; 4 entries is equivalent to approximately 3 lines normal text). Equation: A 1-line free-standing equation is equivalent to about 48 words (or approximately 3 lines). Formatting and other instructions Article opening Title boldface 14 size font and centered Authors 12 size Times New Roman and centered approximately 5 authors per line Affiliation 1 line for each affiliation Corresponding author phone, fax and e-mail address Abstract 12 size Times New Roman single spaced, not more than 200 words Keywords 3-5 Headings first level headings: boldface 12 size with blank line   second level: italics 12 size without blank line Text 12 size Times New Roman single spaced Figures greyscale figures   If coloured figures are desired, an additional charge will apply, which must be paid by the author (in this case please contact the local organizing committee) Numbering: arabic numerals (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, ...). Size the figures so that the readers can easily observe any points on the drawings that are mentioned in the text. Be sure that lines, symbols and dimensions are heavy and large enough to be legible. General guideline is that the symbols and characters should be front size 8 or greater even after a possible reduction. Scale markers should appear on all micrographs. Set the captions directly below the figures and separated by at least one space from the text that follows. Font size: 10 size Times New Roman single spaced. Please ensure to mention all tables in the text. Tables Numbering: arabic numerals (Table 1, Table 2, ...). Set the captions directly above the tables and separated by at least one space from the text above. Font size: 10 size Times New Roman single spaced. Please ensure to mention all tables in the text.
