High k Workshop 2026 – March 24-26th

20 Years Ferroelectric Doped HfO2

NaMLab invites to the Novel High-k Application Workshop on March 24th – 26th, 2025. New challenges offered by the application of high-k dielectric materials in micro– and nanoelectronics are discussed by more than 100 participants from industry, research institutes and universities.

In this series of annual workshops, NaMLab has created a stimulating platform for application-oriented scientists to exchange ideas and discuss recent experimental results on devices, process technology, reliability, and characterization of high-k dielectrics integrated into silicon-based micro- and nanoelectronics. As in previous years, the causes for the formation of ferroelectric properties in HfO2 and ZrO2 and the application of these films will be discussed followed by the newest results of ferroelectric AlScN.

Event Location: IFW Dresden, Helmholtzstrasse 20, directions

A limited number of parking spaces are available at Namlab – Noethnitzer Strasse 64. Please mention the workshop at the barrier.
