AVS Mid-Atlantic Chapter Online Short Course Program

Does COVID-19 still have your company temporarily shut down?

Are your employees working from home and/or not able to travel for training purposes?
 
COVID-19 has impacted many of us, causing companies to find new ways to keep employees working safely and productively from home. AVS wants to help! AVS Short Courses offer training for technicians, scientists and engineers, and is being offered to you during this challenging time. The AVS Mid-Atlantic Chapter is bringing a one-day online Atomic Layer Etching Short Course to you via Zoom!

Atomic Layer Etching

Instructor: Steven George
Date: Wednesday, November 11, 2020
Time: 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. EST
 
Atomic layer etching (ALE) is based on sequential, self-limiting reactions that yield controlled etching at the atomic level.  ALE is critical for atomic layer processing that is increasingly important for nanoscale fabrication.  The course will cover both plasma ALE and thermal ALE.  Process strategies will be described that are useful for many applications including advanced semiconductor processing.
