Within the pilot KIEM-HTSM, the FOM Foundation has awarded funding to the first two proposals for public-private collaboration projects with SMEs. Prof. Kessels and Dr. Creatore from the Plasma & Materials Processing group at the Eindhoven University of Technology have succesfullly applied for a KIEM HTSM grant entitled Combining micro-plasma printing and atomic layer deposition for patterned ultra-thin film preparation.
In this project Adriana Creatore (Eindhoven University of Technology) will investigate how the micro-plasma printer of collaborating partner InnoPhysics can be combined with atomic layer deposition for the production of ultrathin layers with patterns. The combination of the two techniques should ensure highly controllable properties such as layer thickness, optoelectronic properties and pattern resolution.
