For AVS 72, the Thin Films Division is excited for several new mini symposia. Advances in Battery Engineering, Interface Design, and Characterization focuses on thin film process and characterization for battery systems. Advanced Microelectronic Materials and Devices will cover thin films in industry, ferroelectric thin films, and thin films in devices. The exciting mini symposium on Atomic Scale Processing will cover fundamentals and applications of atomic layer deposition and etching. Additionally, a new focus topic on AI/ML Autonomous Experimentation for Thin Films Processing will engage the community in the multiple facets of AI/ML for thin films research and development.
Continuing our proud tradition, the Thin Films Division will again host its popular student-focused session in which the Graduate Student Award winners will share their work in interactive “TED Talk” style presentations to see which of them will be selected for the James Harper Award.
