Virtual AVS ALD/ALE 2020 confernce summary

Here is a summary of the Virtual AVS ALD/ALE 2020 conference and BALD Engineering participation and Social Events during the confernece. For continued access to the presentations please see the AVS Summary below!

From the Monday invited speakers I would especially like to recommend the two talks on ALD and ALE, resp., by TEL Rob Clarke and LAM Keren Kanarik. As I have not watched all yet I will come with more review later.

Hope to meet some of you live at possibly the only live ALD Event 2020 - EFDS ALD for Industry in Freiburg Germany December 2-3, 2020 : LINK

  1. Super informative post considering the technology and virtual development. Present age is the output of lot of research and efforts by the tech scientists. We are now enjoying so much technological reveal and benefited with the bless of different type of applications. Glad to get me in this precious virtual conference news and the summary. It's hard to find our the perfect words to praise such kind of jobs. Though I wanted to dive into some reviews related to Saavi Australia, I was completely excited diving the deep of the virtual avs aldale conference.
