Call for abstracts, ALD Applications ECS PRiME October 4-9, 2020 | Honolulu, Hawaii

PRiME 2020 Topic Close-up: Atomic Layer Deposition Applications 16

Symposium focus: This symposium contains cutting edge research results on applications in Atomic Layer Processing and will focus on a variety of applications of ALD and other atomic layer-by-layer processing (like etching and cleaning). 

The organizers would like to invite contributions to the following topics:

• Semiconductor CMOS applications: development and integration of ALD high-k oxides and metal electrodes with conventional and high-mobility channel materials;
• Volatile and non-volatile memory applications: extendibility, Flash, MIM, MIS, RF capacitors, etc.;
• Interconnects and contacts: integration of ALD films with Cu and low-k materials;
• Fundamentals of ALD processing: reaction mechanisms, in-situ measurement, modeling, theory;
• New precursors and delivery systems;
• Optical and photonic applications;
• Coating of nanoporous materials by ALD;
• MLD and hybrid ALD/MLD;
• ALD for energy conversion applications such as fuel cells, photovoltaics, etc.;
• ALD for energy storage applications;
• Productivity enhancement, scale-up, and commercialization of ALD equipment and processes for rigid and flexible substrates, including roll-to-roll deposition;
• Area-selective ALD;
• Atomic Layer Etching (‘reverse ALD’) and related topics aiming at self-limited etching, such as atomic layer cleaning, etc.
