The 8th Area Selective Deposition Workshop (ASD 2024) is happening from April 14th until April 17th, 2024 in Montreal, Canada! Find it at www.asd2024.com. The conference is chaired by Professors Seán T. Barry (Carleton University) and Paul Ragogna (Western University). 

The GDR «Groupement de Recherche » RAFALD (GDR2009 «Réseau des Acteurs Français de l’ALD») was created in 2017 by CNRS (creation date 01/01/2017).

Its mission is to gather members of the French ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) community, to support and develop exchanges and welcome new-users. To achieve it, skills and savoir-faire will be mutualized and shared through tutorials, scientific events, and various exchanges between academic and industrial partners. The goal of GDR is to seed new projects and propose a disruptive « materials by design » vision, where innovative materials and processes are developed to account for specific requirements. Our ambition is to gather knowledge acquired in « historical » applications (microelectronics, energy) and apply it to emerging applications (biology, health, aeronautics, spatial …).

Featuring Presentations on Emerging Topics Related to Materials, Processing & Interfaces

The AVS International Symposium and Exhibition addresses cutting edge issues associated with materials, processing and interfaces in both the research and manufacturing communities. The weeklong Symposium fosters a multidisciplinary environment that cuts across traditional boundaries between disciplines, featuring papers from AVS Technical Division, Groups, Focus Topics on emerging technologies and more. An extensive Exhibition of related equipment, tools, materials, supplies, chemicals, services, consulting, technical literature, and new technologies are showcased during the week.

This is the premier destination for industry professionals to experience five days of learning, technical presentations, business development, and networking opportunities.

Symposium G01 on “Atomic Layer Deposition & Etching Applications encourage you to submit your abstracts before April 7, 2023 on the following (and closely related) topics:

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

Atomic layer deposition (ALD)-based processes have expanded in recent years. ALD based methods such as atomic layer infiltration (ALI), sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS), and vapor phase infiltration (VPI) allow for infiltration of precursors into polymers and organic materials, therefore transforming them into hybrid materials. Molecular layer deposition (MLD), which can use organic precursors in addition to the inorganic ones can fabricate hybrid organic-inorganic and organic molecular layers.

ALI (VPI, SIS) and MLD have created a wide arsenal of materials and processes that contribute to fields spanning from energy storage and water filtration to semiconductor nanofabrication and optical coatings.
The 3rd Atomic Layer Infiltration and Deposition for Functional Hybrid Materials 2023 Workshop will be a four-day workshop, focusing on the science and technology of ALI and MLD and providing an opportunity for a fruitful exchange of ideas and designing new paths for collaborative research.

The International Research Conference is a federated organization dedicated to bringing together a significant number of diverse scholarly events for presentation within the conference program. Events will run over a span of time during the conference depending on the number and length of the presentations. With its high quality, it provides an exceptional value for students, academics and industry researchers.
