An Overview of Plasma and Ion Beam Processing Technologies

For Precision Materials Modification

Dr. Peter Kurunczi
Member, Technical Staff
Applied Materials, Varian Semiconductor
Gloucester, MA

Plasma and ion beam processing technologies have enabled advances in a wide range of industries and disciplines. Examples of the various tools and their applications will be discussed in various fields such as;

  • Nano-fabrication of semiconductor devices
  • Flat panel displays
  • Biomaterials
  • MEMS
  • Optical and tribological coatings

This talk will also include a basic explanation of the science and technology for the general audience with the main goal of broadening your options in your own material, surface, and device related research.
