Chip features continue to shrink to incredibly small dimensions and different device architectures are being devised to supply consumers with more powerful electronics. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE) play key roles in fabricating advanced chips because they can produce features with extraordinary control.  

New developments in these enabling technologies will be the focus of the 21st International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD 2021), which takes place June 27-30. The conference also incorporates the 8th International Workshop on Atomic Layer Etching. This year, the event has been adapted into a virtual meeting comprised of live and on-demand sessions.  

To support research and industry learning in these important process areas, Lam is a platinum sponsor of the eventAdditionally, we are sponsoring the Best Student Paper Awards, which recognize outstanding graduate student research in the field. Results from some of our recent work will be shared by Lam experts and our collaborators at this event, as listed below.
