The 19th International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition, featuring also the 6th International Atomic Layer Etching Workshop, is about to start. It will kick-off today (Sunday July 22) with a tutorial session and the welcome reception. I feel extremely honored

Looking back at the passivating contact workshop in Eindhoven (part 3 of 3)
– Novel non-silicon based passivating contact materials
During the passivating contact workshop in Eindhoven earlier this year more than 80 people enjoyed several in-depth presentations and discussions on this hot topic in crystalline silicon PV research. Since the PV conference low season / summer break has

Flashback to…
Advancing PV: from passivation to contacts
– A passivating contact workshop
On 31 January 2018 more than 80 people from 11 different countries attended the event Advancing PV: from passivation to contacts – A passivating contact workshop. The interesting presentations of the invited speakers together with the extensive discussion with the audience

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

2nd Area-selective deposition workshop (ASD 2017)
– Flashback
On April 20-21, the 2nd Area Selective Deposition workshop (ASD 2017) took place in Eindhoven. Here we give a brief flashback of the workshop and include several photographs of the meeting, including a group photo of the participants. The workshop

ALD-enabled nanopatterning: area-selective ALD by area-activation
– Reflecting on ASD 2016 with the ASD 2017 workshop approaching
The 2nd Area Selective Deposition workshop (ASD 2017, link) is approaching quickly now. The workshop will take place in Eindhoven on April 21 and my colleague Adrie Mackus is the main organizer. With the upcoming workshop in mind, I thought
