A new workshop on “Advanced Plasma Diagnostics for Surface Engineering and Film Deposition” is scheduled for October 5-8 in Golden, Colorado.
The International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique, and Applications (IUVSTA) and the Society of Vacuum Coaters (SVC) say that registration and abstract collection are now open for the workshop,
The organizing committee has secured 11 keynote presentations by global leaders and innovators in plasma diagnostics, surface engineering, and materials synthesis/characterization.
Attendees are encouraged to submit poster presentations for sharing with all workshop participants. They are invited to participate in the complimentary tutorial “Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES): Opportunities and Limitations.”
In addition, three complimentary offsite events are included: tours of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Colorado School of Mines, and the Coors Brewery.
Plasma diagnostics for surface engineering topics addressed by speakers include:
- Selective discrimination between incident fluxes of neutral and ionized species, even in processes with high fractions of ionized species, such as HiPIMS.
- Analysis and quantification of reactive species (e.g., atomic ions and neutral species derived from molecules) and their impact on material structure and properties.
- Measurement of plasma sheath dynamics and resulting particle energy distributions enabling knowledge-based processes for surface engineering applications.
- Application of AI and ML methods to process real-time, in situ plasma characterization data collected in processing systems common in both industry and R&D.
