AVS Past Events
The International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication (EIPBN), affectionately known as “3-Beams,” is the premier gathering of scientists and engineers who are dedicated to electron, ion and photon lithography, imaging, and analysis; atomically precise fabrication; nanofabrication process technologies; related emerging technologies; and their applications in a broad spectrum of fields. This is the 67th meeting of the EIPBN, where top researchers from academia, government laboratories, and industry from around the world meet to present and discuss recent trends and future directions in these technologies.
The ICMCTF is internationally recognized as a vibrant technical conference that integrates fundamental and applied research focused on thin film deposition, characterization, and advanced surface modification techniques. ICMCTF is the premier international meeting in the field promoting global exchange of information among scientists, technologists, and manufacturers. The conference draws more than 800 attendees each year with multiple oral technical sessions and a well attended poster session which is a major component of the technical program.
The annual New Mexico AVS Technical Symposium will feature scientists and engineers at all levels of their career with special emphasis for students, technologists, and early career researchers. This interdisciplinary, one-day forum allows for emerging scientists and engineers to present their research and collaborate with new colleagues. For students especially, the friendly exchange is valuable practice for future conferences and job presentations. Short courses are offered on a wide variety of topics. Our vendor exhibit annually provides an exceptional opportunity to reach individuals from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Labs, Air Force Research Laboratory and local industries such as Intel, Emcore and CVI Laser. Faculty and students from The University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, and New Mexico Tech are frequent attendees.
The 2024 SVC TechCon in Washington, D.C. focuses on the essential role that Thin Films, Coatings, and Surface Engineering play in the products and services that drive our daily lives. The SVC represents the latest technologies, manufacturing methodologies, and business insights, supporting a global group of stakeholders. Highlighted by prominent Keynote presentations and invited speakers, the TechCon offers an engaging podium for contributed talks & posters as well as roundtable discussions and other interactive features.
The FCMN will bring together scientists and engineers interested in all aspects of the characterization technology needed for nanoelectronic materials and device research, development, integration, and manufacturing. All approaches are welcome: chemical, physical, electrical, magnetic, optical, in situ, and real-time control and monitoring. The semiconductor industry is evolving rapidly: the conference will highlight major issues and provide critical reviews of important materials and structure characterization and nearline/inline metrology methods, including hardware, data analysis, and AI and machine learning, as the industry both extends the technology deep into the nanoscale and increases the diversity of devices and systems.
The conference continues the yearly tradition of having a smaller (~200 ppl) conference focused on selective area, atomic layer deposition and etching, which has grown out of the AVS ALD conferences.
Participation in a local AVS chapter provides an excellent opportunity to interact in a smaller venue compared to the larger national conferences, affording the participants time to focus on presentations of scientific work that is happening in our immediate geographic proximity, along with ample time for professional networking. The local chapter meetings are an ideal setting for students and early career researchers and professionals to present their research. Therefore, student participation is strongly encouraged. Established professionals are also welcome to submit abstracts, which could include recent studies, or provide overviews of topics of general scientific interest to the society and chapter members.
As Python-based APIs from major equipment manufacturers are becoming increasingly available, automated experimentation is now accessible to a broad range of scientists in both academia and industry. This webinar is tailored to meet these evolving needs. It is specifically designed to bridge the gap between theoretical data science concepts and their applications in automated microscopy, focusing on developing practical experimental workflows. The course provides an in-depth physicist`s perspective on Bayesian methods and includes introduction into the GPax library.
Measuring pressure is one of the key ingredients in all vacuum applications. With continual improvements in pressure measurement technology and a plethora of manufacturers who delve into this space, it is sometimes difficult to understand the key differences in the technologies and what variables may affect the readings. This e-Talk will take a dive into the individual technologies and highlight some of the key characteristics for each. Also, a focus in this discussion will be some of the variables that can affect the measurements and how to potentially overcome those issues.
The NCCAVS sponsors an Annual Equipment Exhibition to showcase products and services of companies supporting vacuum-related industries. Attracting approximately 100+ exhibitors and ~700 attendees, the NCCAVS Annual Equipment Exhibition is the largest sponsored by any AVS Chapter. Also, this event is hosted in conjunction with the NCCAVS Technical Symposium and Annual Student Poster Session. The exhibit is scheduled to take place IN PERSON February 17, 2022 at the Fremont Marriott Silicon Valley Hotel. We hope you will join us and look forward to seeing everyone in 2022!
