🔬 Exciting Research Presentation at EMRS Spring 2025 symposium! We’re thrilled to see Dr. Anish Philip from Aalto University presenting his latest research at EMRS 2025 in Symposium L11: Thin Film Batteries. 📅 Date: 28 May 2025 🕐 Time: 13:45–15:30 📍 Room: Symposium L 🎓 Presentation title: Role of lithium precursors in tuning conformality of potential 3D thin-film microbattery components In this study, Dr. Philip and his team explored the impact of various lithium precursors on the conformality and film properties of LiPON and Li-TP – two highly promising materials for 3D thin-film microbatteries. To measure conformality and penetration depth, the team used our PillarHall® lateral high-aspect-ratio test structures, along with SEM and imaging ellipsometry techniques. Their findings reveal the choice of lithium precursor plays a critical role in both conformality and film properties. 👏 We’re proud that PillarHall played a key role in enabling conformality analysis in this impactful work. 📢 Don't miss the presentation if you're attending EMRS 2025 symposium! #TestedWithPillarHall #PillarHall #Chipmetrified #ALDep #EMRS2025

PillarHall® test chips continue to prove their value in cutting-edge ALD research.🧪✨ In this insightful new blog post on AtomicLimits, our collaborators explore how PillarHall enables precise analysis of conformality in extreme high aspect ratio structures, supports understanding of diffusion and reaction regimes, and even study the influence of plasma ions on film growth. #ALDep #TestedWithPillarHall #PillarHall #Chipmetrified
💡 PillarHall test chips have been instrumental in our (plasma) ALD research over the past few years. They've enabled us to probe conformality in extreme aspect ratio structures, determine sticking and recombination probabilities, explore diffusion-, reaction-, and recombination-limited regimes, and even study the influence of plasma ions on film growth. 🔬 In a new blog post on AtomicLimits initiated by our sponsor Chipmetrics, we dive into how the PillarHall concept has advanced thin film metrology in 3D structures and can enable process control: basically why it's such a valuable tool for anyone working on thin-film deposition, semiconductor processing, or conformality measurements. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e8Fzpty7 #ALDeposition #ThinFilms #Metrology #Semiconductors #PillarHall #Conformality #AtomicLimits #MaterialsScience
