AVS International Symposium and Exhibition

The AVS International Symposium and Exhibition is an annual meeting on the science and technology of materials, surfaces, interfaces and devices, organized by AVS. Researchers and engineers from industry, government laboratories and universities present work on atomic-scale processing, characterization, measurement and simulation.

The weeklong technical program is built from divisions covering areas such as vacuum technology, thin films, plasma science, surface science, 2D materials and nanoscale science, and it includes tutorials, short courses, plenary lectures, undergraduate poster sessions and a career center with a job fair. A technical exhibition runs throughout the week alongside the sessions.

Suppliers of equipment, tools, materials, supplies and chemicals, providers of services and consulting, publishers of technical literature and developers of new technologies for vacuum, thin film and surface science and manufacturing.

Scientists, process engineers and students from industry, government laboratories and universities who work in vacuum technology, thin films, plasma science, microelectronics and materials research and manufacturing.
