The Seminar will include speakers from key international research institutes, who will discuss their research: Prof. Erwin Kessels, Technical University Eindhoven; Vince Genova, Cornell University. In addition, experts in their field from Oxford Instruments & MTL will speak about recent process and applications developments in a number of plasma processing areas.
Presentations cover a full day and currently include:
- ALD applications
- An Overview of Plasma ALD process
- MEMS process
- Nanoscale dielectric etching
- PECVD & TEOS
Dr. Vicky Diadiuk, Associate Director, Operations, at MTL, "This event at MTL will allow our students and researchers to learn more about Atomic Layer Deposition and plasma processing, from the experts at Oxford Instruments, while also attracting participants from the wider technical community. We look forward to welcoming guests to MIT for what promises to be a full and interesting day. "
This seminar is free of charge, but must be booked in advance as places are limited. To book a place or receive further information, email: [email protected].
