Exactly forty-five years ago, on November 29, 1974, the first patent on Atomic Layer Epitaxy (FIN 52359) was filed by Suntola and Antson.
Today, the Aalto ALD OpenLearning site is opened for public. You can access it via the general link https://openlearning.aalto.fi/ and the direct link https://openlearning.aalto.fi/course/view.php?id=100. Above is example of the current site contents, including a new schematic illustration of the ALD process, adapted from Applied Physics Reviews 6 (2019) 021302; https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5060967.
Also today, at Aalto University, we meet at: November Networking – ALD at Aalto University event. We have 63 participants registered, with group presentations, company presentations, 2-min poster pitch talks, and invited talk by Prof. Ruud van Ommen; see more at https://blogs.aalto.fi/catprofopen/ald-networking-nov-2019/.
