D—Electrochemical/Electroless Deposition

D1Electrodeposition for Micro- and Nano-Battery Materials Electrodeposition Division / Battery Division / Energy Technology Division

This symposium will cover advances in electrochemical deposition (electrolytic, electroless, chemical bath or electrochemical ALD) for energy storage materials and devices. The electronics industry has demonstrated electrochemical processing at micro and nano dimensions for interconnect, barrier layer, magnetics and solder applications for metals, alloys and composites. A large number of relevant energy storage materials can also be deposited, structured and post-processed electrochemically for use in advanced batteries.

Contributions are sought which deal with the key challenges for electrochemical processing that can be applied to next generation battery materials at the micro and nanoscale. This will include the examination of theoretical and practical limits for support and active materials processing, including nanowires, nanotubes, nanolaminates and core/shell materials. Structuring energy storage materials to go beyond the standard 2D planar electrode arrangement for microbatteries and larger scale cells is a significant challenge.

Computational modelling and experimental studies of novel materials and structures processed electrochemically and assessments of the interfacial reactions are of interest, including high energy materials such as lithium metal. Reaction mechanism assessment for energy storage materials in aqueous, organic or ionic liquids in addition to solid state, polymer or polymer gel electrolytes is welcomed. Analyses are sought of materials for applications in Li-ion, Na-ion, divalent alternatives and particularly the next generation or disruptive energy storage devices such as Li-sulphur or Li-air cells.

D2Electroless Plating: Principles and Applications 3 Electrodeposition Division

The research achievements in the area of electroless deposition have contributed to numerous developments and applications for a variety of industries. Applications of electroless deposition are found in the electronics, energy conversion, aerospace, biomedical, automotive and aerospace industries. In addition, new applications in the area of metallization of polymers, ceramics and fabrics, production of various powders, corrosion and wear resistant coatings, decorative and catalytic surfaces etc. are being developed. Electroless deposition is also very attractive for the field of nanotechnology.

The aim of this symposium is to bring together scientists, researchers and engineers in order to review and discuss the latest developments and to suggest the future directions in the field of electroless deposition. The papers of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Galvanic or displacement deposition2. Autocatalytic deposition3. Mechanistic aspects and kinetics of electroless deposition4. Surface activation for electroless deposition5. Metallization of non-conductive surfaces via electroless

deposition6. Applications for electronics, energy device, aerospace,

automotive, biomedical etc. industries7. Deposition of semiconductors from chemical baths8. Electroless deposition and nanotechnology

Materials of interest include thin or thick films and powders of metals, alloys or compounds (e.g. oxides, salts, polymers).

F—Fuel Cells, Electrolyzers, and Energy Conversion

F1Characterization of Interfaces and Interphases Energy Technology Division / Battery Division / Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division / Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division

Interfaces and interphases play very important roles in electrochemical systems. They affect the rate of electrochemical reaction and transport of reactive species and provide stability to many low temperature battery and fuel cell systems. Consequently, better understanding of the interfaces and interphases is crucial to the development of better and safe electrochemical devices. Areas of interest include: 1) computer modeling ranging from molecular to continuum levels, 2) In-situ measurements of solid-electrolyte interfaces (SEI) and interphases as a function of potential, cycle number, temperature and other relevant parameters, and 3) fundamental understanding of the influence of impurities on the nature and properties of the SEI and interphases.

N—Dielectric Science and Materials

N1Dielectrics for Interconnect, Interposers, and Packaging Dielectric Science and Technology Division

Low dielectric constant materials have been critical to reducingtheRC time constant for interconnect on-chip, on-interposers, andin electronic packages and boards. The ITRS calls for dramaticimprovements in dielectric constant (both permittivity and loss)and other physical properties, such as thermal expansion, thermalconductivityandmodulus,atalllevelsofinterconnectincludingchips,interposers,packagesandsubstrates.Thissymposiumwillfocusonadvances in dielectric materials, processing, characterization, andreliabilityforinterconnectdielectrics.Theapplicationareasinclude(1.)on-chip;(2.)organic,silicon,andglassinterposers,(3.)packagesubstrates; (4.) printed circuit boards; and (5.) other interconnectmedia. The topics include new dielectric materials, patterningmethods for dielectric materials, chemical/mechanical/electricalproperties and their characterization, applications of dielectricmaterials in microelectronic devices, and reliability of dielectricmaterials.

N3More than MooreDielectric Science and Technology Division / Electronics and Photonics Division / Sensor Division / New Technology Subcommittee

The semiconductor industry is rapidly adopting the functionaldiversification approaches to adding value to integrated circuits.Dubbed“MorethanMoore”,thisstrategyenhancesvaluetodevicesbyincorporatingfunctionalitiesthatdonotnecessarilyscaleaccordingto “Moore’s Law”. It often leverages the scaling capabilitiesderived from the “More Moore” developments to incorporatedigital and non-digital functionality into compact systems. The“MorethanMoore”approachparticularlyallowsforthenon-digitalfunctionalities (e.g., RF communication, power control, passivecomponents, sensors, actuators) tomigrate from the system boardlevel into package-level (SiP) or chip-level (SoC) implementation.Thepervasionof“More thanMoore” technologieswill impact thedevelopment of integration platforms, of innovative technologies(e.g.for3Dintegrationofmultiplechips),manufacturingtechniquesand design &modeling tools capable of handling multifunctionalheterogeneous subsystems. From technology perspectives, MorethanMoore includes all technologies based upon or derived fromsiliconprocessingthatwilleventuallybepackagedormonolithicallyintegratedinasemiconductorproduct,includingfunctionalitiesthatdo not scalewithMoore’sLaw. Examples of such functionalitiesmayinclude,notnecessarilyrestrictedto,sensing,communicating,energyharvestingandanalogsignalprocessing,whiletheapplicationareas includes but not restricted to health care, transport, security,energy,communicationandinfotainment.Thissymposiumisaimedat providing a forum for discussing all aspects of this emerging

technology trend. Thus papers will be solicited in all aspects ofMorethanMoore,includingbutnotlimitedto,materials,integration,performance,reliabilityandapplications.
