It is a special pleasure to be able to present IEEE T ransactions on S emiconductor M anufacturing readers with a selection of papers from the 2020 International Conference on Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (CS-MANTECH) This has been an extraordinarily challenging year by almost any measure, with personal and business disruptions on a dramatic scale worldwide However, progress in advancing the manufacturing of compound semiconductor devices continues unabated, and through this Special Section I hope to provide a window into some recent areas of progress Under more normal circumstances, the CS-MANTECH conference is an annual event that provides a technical forum for presenting advancements in compound semiconductor devices CS-MANTECH is unique in its strong emphasis on manufacturing technologies related to compound semiconductor device production This year, however, the global COVID-19 pandemic made holding an international conference impossible While we could not hold the conference as originally planned, authors still prepared high-quality papers reporting their advances in compound semiconductor devices and associated manufacturing technologies The full conference program proceedings for the 2020 conference are available online at https://csmantech org/digests
