The science and technology of materials, interfaces, and processing will be in the spotlight at the AVS 66th International Symposium and Exhibition, being held October 20-25 in Columbus, Ohio. This flagship event includes technical talks, focus topics on emerging technologies, short courses in vacuum science, and one of the largest equipment exhibitions in the world.
Lam is a silver sponsor of both the Thin Film Division and the Plasma Science and Technology Division, which host programs ranging from fundamental studies to manufacturing applications. You can hear about some of the latest advances from Lam and our collaborators at the following presentations.
