On June 9th 2022, we will organize a spatial ALD day at the Eindhoven University of Technology. This full-day event will cover various aspects of spatial ALD, including presentations by spatial ALD companies in the Netherlands, as well as overview

Launch of the ALD & ALE ReviewBase – An easy-to-access overview of all ALD and ALE review papers
The scientific and technological interest in atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE) has been surging in the last decade and the sheer volume of ALD and ALE papers can make it difficult to get a clear overview

Diving into the Fundamentals of Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition – Strengthening the S-ALD hub in Brainport region Eindhoven
On May 1st, we kicked off our new research project entitled “Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition – More Materials, More Demanding Applications” , granted by the NWO Domain Applied and Engineering Sciences. As the title suggests, the project is geared at

Introducing the AtomicLimits Image Library – finding images for re-use!
We are very happy to introduce our latest project to serve the community: the AtomicLimits Image Library! You can find this page in the menu at the top of the website. The image library is a central place where you

ALD in the Netherlands – Special issue of the NEVAC magazine (free): How a small country can be big in nanolayers
The Dutch Vacuum Society – or Nederlandse Vacuümvereniging (NEVAC) – publishes the so-called “NEVAC blad”, a magazine that appears three times a year. The issue for June 2020 just appeared and it is a special issue completely devoted to atomic

What can Atomic Layer Deposition do for solar cells? – A few afterthoughts from my ALD conference tutorial
At the end of July the annual AVS International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) – combined with the Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) Workshop – took place in Bellevue, Seattle. As customary, the Sunday before the conference itself was devoted to

In situ Studies of ALD Processes & Reaction Mechanisms
It is the time of the year that the annual AVS International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition combined with the International Atomic Layer Etching Workshop takes place. The location of 18th edition of the ALD conference (ALD 2018) and the

4th Dutch perovskite workshop
Date, time and location of the event The 4th Dutch Perovskite Workshop is scheduled to take place at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) on Friday 29 June 2018. The program will start at 10:00 hr in the Film Zaal

Advancing PV: from passivation to contacts
– A passivating contact workshop
Aim – The goal of this one-day workshop is to provide a platform to learn more about passivating contacts for crystalline silicon solar cells. Unlike the PV conferences where this topic already receives a fair amount of attention, this platform will

Uniform or Area-Selective ALD of In2O3:H?
– It’s all about nucleation
A little while ago I wrote a blog about my PhD project. In this blog, I explained that most of my PhD project revolved around an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process that I developed to make hydrogen-doped indium oxide (In2O3:H):
