Here we go again… the online ALE database! – A website where you can easily search, find, and add ALE processes
It might not be fully unexpected but after launching our online ALD database a few months ago, but now we have now also put together an online database on Atomic Layer Etching (ALE). So here it is! Similar to the
#ALDALE2019 – A preview of my “ALD Innovator Award” plenary presentation at the 19th International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition
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

And here it is… the online ALD database
– A website where you can easily search, browse, and add ALD processes
Many of us ALD researchers have been talking – or even dreaming – about it for some years: an online database listing all ALD materials and processes. And now we have it! You can access it through the link at
Reviews, reviews, reviews… and another one about ALD! – An update on the status and prospects of plasma ALD
Note: a list of ALD review papers is available at the end. Atomic layer deposition or ALD is amazingly popular these days and this is also reflected by the large number of review articles that have appeared over the recent
Bridging academia and business – the heart of a successful collaboration in atomic scale processing
Fitting to the contents of this post on collaboration, this post will appear both on Atomic Limits and on the Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology blog. What defines a truly successful collaboration? It has to be something where the whole is

Topographically selective processing
– Taking selectivity up a notch by processing in the 3rd dimension
Recently, the art of processing materials in a selective manner has garnered significant attention. Especially in the past few years, the topic of making atomic scale processing techniques, such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE), more
Overview of all materials prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD)
– An up-to-date and colorful periodic table (to download)
As you might have noticed, we have just started a year in which we celebrate the discovery of the Periodic System by Dmitri Mendeleev: 2019 is the 150th anniversary of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements and has therefore been
