The market for atomic layer deposition keeps growing. Sales are expected to rise from around US$ 4 billion in 2026 to over US$ 10 billion in 2035.

Most of that growth comes from the demand for advanced semiconductor devices powering AI: next generation logic, memory and advanced packaging. But ALD reaches well beyond computing. Precise atomic scale interface engineering also plays a role in energy conversion and storage, photonics, quantum and emerging applications such as nanofiltration. That mix of AI driven innovation, electrification and new materials makes ALD one of the most dynamic thin film technologies of the coming decade.

The conference covers the latest developments in ALD processes, simulation and characterisation of coatings and coating processes, precursor materials, ALD systems and coatings for special applications. Alongside the programme you will find an exhibition where you can meet industry experts and get up to speed on new materials, coating systems, measurement technology for quality management and suitable equipment. The tutorials help you refresh your basic knowledge or extend it with new insights and process understanding.
