Last year we finished a project called “Taking plasma ALD to the next level” (funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), Applied and Engineering Sciences (AES) section). This project was devoted to obtaining a better understanding of plasma ALD such that open scientific and technological questions could be addressed resulting in new plasma … Read more
“An interview with Peter Dijkstra and Karsten Arts.” This is already the fourth post in a series of blogs in which we will share exciting information about companies or other organizations within the atomic scale processing industry. Through an interview, we aim to get insight into the kind of products and projects the companies have … Read more
This blog post is about a short perspective article that I recently wrote for the ILTPC newsletter. ILTPC stands for the International Low Temperature Plasma Community. It is one of the two main communities where I feel at home. The other one is the atomic scale processing community. This one is basically the atomic layer … Read more
