The AVS 65th International Symposium and Exhibition begins on October 21st in beautiful Long Beach, California. Scientists, engineers, and industry leaders from around the globe will gather to learn and share topics across sixteen parallel sessions. This year’s theme is “Materials, Interfaces and Process Technology for the IoT Era.” The IoT theme will be represented throughout the week across nineteen different sessions programmed by many divisions, groups, and focus topics. In addition to the IoT sessions, you’ll also enjoy discussions related to the technologies that enable continued device scaling, including advances in processes such as atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE).
Once again, Lam is proud to be a Silver Sponsor of both the Plasma Science and Technology Division and Thin Film Division programs, which will cover topics ranging from fundamental studies to manufacturing applications. The new developments presented during these sessions are closely watched the semiconductor industry and often hold important innovations for future chipmaking. With the continued development of 3D device architectures and integration of new materials, the latest updates in these fields often spark interesting and important discussions.
Lam Experts Share Innovations
As features on the latest chips continue to shrink, atomic-level control becomes increasingly important. The ongoing development of manufacturing capabilities like ALD and ALE to deliver this level of control is critical. Learn about some of the latest advances in atomic-scale processing from Lam and our collaborators at the following presentations.
