The 19th Workshop on Dielectrics in Microelectronics, was held from June 27-30, 2016, at the Hotel Baia Verde, in Aci Castello (Catania), Italy. This event was hosted by the Italian National Research Council (CNR) - Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM), and celebrated the 10th anniversary of the last time the workshop was held in Italy.

The main objective of the workshop is to bring together specialists who work in the field of dielectrics and all aspects of their application in the field of micro and nanoelectronics. The forum is intended to provide an overview of the state of the art in this significant field, and to promote a relatively informal atmosphere for the discussion of the latest research results, where contributions from students are particularly encouraged. The workshop deals with a range of issues in the field of advanced and new dielectrics, such as: growth and deposition, modelling and simulation, physical and electrical properties, reliability and dielectric applications.
