February 11, 2026: Next‑Generation Coatings for Manufacturing: Exploring Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD)
Accelerating ALD Innovation through Penn State’s Integrated Research Ecosystem

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is emerging as a go‑to solution for companies seeking ultra-thin, uniform, and highly engineered coatings. Its ability to deliver atomically precise, pinhole‑free films opens new opportunities for performance, reliability, and competitive differentiation across industrial markets.

This webinar will introduce the core principles of ALD and showcase how the technology enables controlled film growth with unmatched accuracy in thickness, composition, and conformity—even on complex 3D surfaces. Attendees will see how ALD is being adopted across a wide range of applications.

Making the Best of a Bad Situation Webinar Series 2020

The Making the Best of a Bad Situation characterization webinar series has come to an end. We hope that you found these as valuable as we did. We’d like to thank all the presenters that took the time to share their expertise with this large community. If you have future characterization questions, please feel free to contact one of the organizers. We enjoy solving complex problems, and as Land Grant Universities, outreach is an integral part of our core mission. Thanks also for financial support of the NSF MRSEC Center for Nanoscale Science at Penn State.
 
Sincerely,
