As a prelude to our upcoming workshop on atomic layer deposition and etching for quantum technologies, we share our vision in this blog post about how ALD and ALE can help propel quantum technologies forward. Also, a detailed program and
Passivating Contacts for Silicon Solar Cells: A Zinc Oxide Breakthrough?
In the field of silicon solar cells, the search for more efficient and cost-effective technologies never ceases. One of the most exciting developments of the past decade has been the rise of so-called passivating contacts, with the current industry leader
Surface passivation as a cornerstone of modern semiconductor technology – Highlighting a comprehensive review paper on surface passivation for silicon, germanium, and III–V materials
What do transistors, solar cells, microLEDs, and thin-film transistors have in common? At first glance, the answer might seem straightforward: they all rely on semiconductor materials such as silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), and gallium

The Significance of Plasma Physics in EUV Lithography – Teaching ASML employees my Introduction to Plasma Physics course
My main teaching task at the Eindhoven University of Technology takes place in the fall when I teach the MSc course “Physics of Plasmas and Radiation”. This course is mandatory for all our MSc students in Applied Physics that follow
Substrate biasing as a tuning knob for superconducting films – the “ALD and ALE for quantum project” celebrates its first year with a publication
In July 2022 we announced the research grant for the ‘Atomic Layer Deposition and Etching for Quantum Computing’ NWO project on AtomicLimits. This project focusing on atomic scale processing for superconducting quantum devices had a flying start in October 2022.
After enabling AI it is time for the plasma community to benefit from AI – Personal view in a short perspective article
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
Let’s chat GPC by chatGPT – Putting ChatGPT to the test and a first (?) article about ALD by AI
I’m sure you have heard the buzz in the field of artificial intelligence (AI)… The promise of AI is to augment human abilities in areas such as decision-making, problem-solving, and other tasks. AI systems aim to simulate human intelligence and
