SUMMARY:Ultra-High Vacuum Science and Thin Film Deposition
DESCRIPTION:SPONSORED BY IEEE AND KURT J. LESKER COMPANY\nStep inside the world of ultra-high vacuum systems, thin film deposition, and advanced materials research during this free, hands-on workshop hosted by George Mason University’s Nanofabrication Facility (NFF) in partnership with Kurt J. Lesker Company’s Lesker U training program.\n\nDesigned for researchers, students, engineers, and technical professionals, the workshop will explore the science and technologies behind physical vapor deposition, sputtering systems, vacuum characterization, and thin film growth models, combining foundational concepts with real-world applications used throughout advanced manufacturing and nanofabrication.\n\nAttendees will hear from industry experts, tour the NFF laboratories, and get an inside look at the systems and processes driving next-generation materials research.\nMorning Session \n9:00 AM – 12:00 PM\nIntroduction to Vacuum Science and System Design\nResources for Physical Vapor Deposition\nThermal and Electron Beam Evaporation\nMagnetron Sputtering\nDCMS, Pulsed DC, RF, and HiPIMS\nAfternoon Session \n12:30 PM – 4:00 PM\nNFF Lab Tour and Special Considerations for Ultra-High Vacuum\n\nCharacterizing Vacuum Systems\nTroubleshooting Sputtering Processes\nIntroduction to Atomic Layer Deposition\nThin Film Models and Structure Zone Diagrams\n
