I’ll be speaking at the Thin Film Society webinar on Dec 17!
“Atomic Layer Innovations: New Pathways for Future Semiconductor Fabrication”
• #ASDep for future patterning
• AI-driven materials design via #ALDep
🕘 9 PM Seoul / 1 PM CET / 7 AM EST

Our new paper in Applied Surface Science explores #ASDep of W and Ru using a Homometallic Precursor Inhibitor approach.
Yes—we actively look for bad #ALDep precursors as inhibitors!

I gave a seminar on the silicon chip industry and the importance of device fabrication at Incheon POSCO High School (인천포스코 고등학교). It’s always a great joy to meet highly motivated young students.

Today, I gave an invited seminar on ALD at Micron Technology’s TechTalk. It was a great opportunity to discuss challenging topics in semiconductor device fabrication. Boise is a nice city and a great home for Micron!

As you know, patterning technology has not traditionally played a central role.
However, things have changed. Achieving nanoscale patterns with high reliability is now extremely challenging, and patterning is no longer just a supporting technique.

This is a great community of chemists, physicists and engineers, academics and industry. Love it! #ASD2025 @asd2025leipzig.bsky.social

@cathleencrudden.bsky.social presenting the third tutorial at #ASD2025 introducing us to how crazy is it that ligands impart totally different properties to a metal.
Also warning us to avoid Ni(CO)4

Group holiday season party!
