AVS 68th International Symposium & Exhibition

American Vacuum Society Symposium & Exhibition

The 68^th American Vacuum Society symposium and exhibition will be held on 6-11 November 2022, in David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. The AVS International Symposium & Exhibition is a leading forum to present and discuss the science and technology of materials, interfaces, and processing for worldwide attendees from research and manufacturing communities.

An extensive exhibition comprises related tools, equipment, materials, services, supplies, chemicals, consulting, technical literature, and new technologies for Surface Science, Biomaterial Interfaces, Electronic Materials & Photonics, Magnetic Interfaces, Manufacturing Science, MEMS/NEMS, Nanoscience, Thin Film, Plasma Science, and Vacuum Technology during the week. This exhibition brings innovative vendors showing new technology and research methods.

Some of the topics discussed in the symposium include:

• 2D Materials
• Actinides and Rare Earths
• Advanced Ion Microscopy and Ion Beam Nano-engineering
• Advanced Surface Engineering (Read more about Plasma Treatment in Microfluidics)
• Applied Surface Science
• Atomic Scale Processing
• Biomaterial Interfaces
• Chemical Analysis and Imaging Interfaces
• Electronic Materials and Photonics
• Fundamental Discoveries in Heterogeneous Catalysis

• Magnetic Interfaces and Nanostructures
• Manufacturing Science and Technology
• MEMS and NEMS
• Nanoscale Science and Technology
• New Trends on Structural and Electronic Characterization of Materials, Interfaces, and Surfaces
• Plasma Science and Technology
• Quantum Information Science
