On February 15th 2019 an ALD short course was held at the Monteith Research Center on NCSU’s Centennial Campus. The speakers were Prof. Gregory Parsons and Prof. Erwin Kessels. This course was mainly intended for students and postdocs already working on ALD or with having interest to use the ALD equipment at the center for their research. The course started at the introductory level but it included also more advanced topics topics such molecular deposition, energy-enhanced ALD and ALD reactor designs.
