Division: Plasma Science & Technology (PS)

The Plasma Science & Technology program highlights state-of-the-art advances in plasma science, ranging from fundamental studies of plasma physics and chemistry, plasma-matter interactions to new applications for plasma processing. Our diverse international community includes researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry covering topics extending from the latest advancements in plasma research for established fields such as semiconductor fabrication to newer areas of study such as energy research, novel materials synthesis, catalysis, and biomedical applications, where plasma is either the focus or the enabling tool. Abstracts describing novel research are solicited in areas concerning: Advanced BEOL: Interconnect Materials and Etching; Advanced FEOL: plasma processing for logic devices; EUV and Multipatterning: Advanced Packaging, Thermal Management, and Heterogeneous Integration; Plasma Processing for Advanced and Emerging Memory Technologies; Plasma-assisted Atomic Layer Etching; Plasma Surface Interactions; Plasma Deposition and  ALD processes for coatings and thin films; Plasma Diagnostics, Sensors and Control; Plasma Sources; Modelling of plasmas, Plasma-Driven Processes, and Machine Learning; Atmospheric Pressure Plasmas and their applications; Plasma Chemistry and Catalysis; Plasmas  for the environment (e.g. water, air, soil treatment); Plasma-engineered materials and interfaces for the environment; Plasma and plasma-engineered materials for energy savings; Plasma for medicine and biointerfaces; Plasma for antimicrobial treatments. We accept abstracts for both oral sessions and poster sessions, which provide an excellent opportunity for one-on-one discussions of new results with colleagues. Special consideration will be given to papers that highlight cross-disciplinary issues of the research. The authors are also encouraged to submit their original results to the accompanying AVS journals.
