June 2010 Topical Meeting

“Recent Advances in Vacuum-Processing of Materials
-from CVD to ALD”

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sputtering, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), ion implantation, etc., are well recognized and widely used material processing techniques utilizing vacuum environments. Following the trend of device downscaling, the increasingly thin film materials synthesized by these techniques are still required to be implemented as homogeneous and atomically flat structures. Especially for the CVD technique, important progress has been made in the development and application of atomic layer deposition (ALD), in which different reactant gases are supplied in an alternating manner to control the film growth in a layer-by-layer fashion. In this Topical Meeting, we invited outstanding ALD experts to present their achievements and to discuss the advantages, the present status, and future challenges for the ALD technique from the viewpoint of vacuum technology.

Date: Wed. June 2, 2010, 13:00~16:45 (Registration desk opens at 12:30.)
Venue: Kikai-Shinko-Kaikan Bldg, Rm B3-2 (in the 3rd Basement Floor) 3-5-8 Shiba-koen, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-0011, Japan (located in front of the Tokyo Tower)
Presentations and their abstracts will be given in JAPANESE.
