[labnetwork] Invitation: NAPEX Virtual Symposium – Frontiers in Nanoscale Plasma Etching | Oct. 20–21, 2026

[GaJula, Durga R]

Dear Colleagues,
LAST CALL FOR REGISTRATION!
LAST Call The North American Plasma Etch Exchange (NAPEX) is pleased to invite you to our upcoming virtual symposium, “Frontiers in Nanoscale Plasma Etching,” taking place October 20–21, 2026, from 1:00–4:10 PM ET each day.
This two-day symposium will bring together researchers and professionals from academia, industry, nanofabrication facilities, and the semiconductor community to exchange knowledge and discuss recent developments and emerging challenges in plasma etching and atomic layer processing.
The program features invited speakers representing Applied Materials, Silicon Austria Labs, Oxford Instruments, University of Nevada Reno, UC Berkeley, SENTECH, AlixLabs, Caltech, IonQ, Engenius Micro, Georgia Tech, and UCSB.
The technical program will cover topics including atomic layer etching (ALE), plasma-enhanced atomic layer processes, advanced semiconductor manufacturing, ferroelectric materials, wide-bandgap materials, SiC, lithium niobate and diamond etching, advanced logic and memory technologies, and emerging plasma-processing applications.
