The dawn of atomic-scale processing
– The growing importance of atomic layer deposition and etching
A few weeks ago, the big news was that the research alliance of IBM, Global Foundries and Samsung unveiled the world’s first 5 nm chip as we could all read everywhere over the internet [1]. Most notable was however the
Atomic layer deposition for device integration of graphene
– A just published review paper
A new paper from our group has just appeared in Advanced Material Interfaces. In this paper I – together with my colleagues, have reviewed the methods explored to achieve uniform atomic layer deposition (ALD) on graphene. The work is part
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
Join the short course on Atomic Layer Deposition!
Prof. Gregory Parsons (North Carolina State University) and Prof. Erwin Kessels (Eindhoven University of Technology) invite you to participate you in their short course on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), at the Eindhoven University of Technology on April 20, 2017. This
ALD for Self-Aligned Multiple Patterning (SAxP)
– How litho has become patterning and requires ALD
Two weeks ago I attended the SPIE Advanced Lithography conference in San Jose (February 26 – March 2) and I got so much inspired that I wanted to write a blog about it. It was my second time at this
2nd Area Selective Deposition Workshop
General In collaboration with COST action HERALD, Eindhoven University will host the 2nd Area Selective Deposition workshop (ASD 2017), which will be held on April 20-21, 2017. The aim of this workshop is to bring together leading scientists and engineers
PECVD of amorphous silicon for lithium ion batteries
– How my PhD might be applied in industry
Recently I did an interesting discovery: the work that I did during my PhD (1996 – 2000) might be at the basis of a radical new technology to produce anodes of Li-ion batteries, anodes based on silicon nanowires instead of
ALD of high-quality hydrogen-doped indium oxide
– a mini-review
I recently successfully defended my PhD thesis, entitled “Atomic Layer Deposition of Metal Oxide Thin Films for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells”. As the title suggests, I have worked on ALD of various metal oxides for the application in Si heterojunction
