Webinar Objectives/Topics

• Provide understanding of nucleation and initial growth phenomena
• Motivate the reasons to implement ASD technology and describe the envisioned applications
• Present an overview of the strategies that currently exist for achieving ASD
• Give insight into the mechanisms that could contribute to the loss of selectivity
• Discuss strategies to enhance the selectivity involving combinations with other atomic-scale processing techniques
• Discuss alternative flavors of selective deposition such as topographically- and microstructure/phase-selective deposition

Adrie Mackus, Assistant Professor, Department of Applied Physics
Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands

Adrie Mackus (1985) is an Assistant Professor in Applied Physics at Eindhoven University of Technology, TU/e. He earned his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees (both with highest honors) in Applied Physics from TU/e in 2009 and 2013, respectively. His Ph.D. thesis “Atomic Layer Deposition of Platinum: From Surface Reactions to Nanopatterning” focused on development of novel approaches for nanopatterning based on area-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD). Adrie worked as a Postdoc at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University from 2014-2016, for which he received a personal Rubicon grant in 2014 from the Netherlands Organization of Scientific Research (NWO). At Stanford he studied the reaction mechanisms of ALD of ternary materials using in situ techniques. Adrie returned to TU/e in 2016 for position as an Assistant Professor in Applied Physics, where he received tenure in 2019. His current research encompasses thin film deposition and etching for applications in nanoelectronics, with a focus on selective processing for bottom-up fabrication. Adrie chaired the 2nd Area Selective Deposition Workshop (ASD2017) in Eindhoven in 2017.

This webinar will be of interest for students, researchers and engineers involved or interested in area-selective deposition and/or thin film technology in general. By discussing relevant thin film basics as a starting point, but also the latest developments in the field of ASD, the webinar will be valuable for a broad audience from young students to experienced researchers.
