Seminar of the Department of Condensed Matter Physics: David Muñoz Rojas
Seminar of the Department of Condensed Matter Physics: ‘Fast printing of functional thin films’ – Friday, April 26th
On 26 April 2024 a new session of the Seminars of the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of the University of Zaragoza will be held, with David Muñoz Rojas (Laboratoire des Matériaux et du Génie Physique, Grenoble INP), who will give a lecture entitled: ‘Fast printing of functional thin films’.
The session will take place at 12:30 pm in the Sala de Grados of the Faculty of Science of the University of Zaragoza.
Summary of the conference: Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (SALD) is a recent variant of ALD that offers fast processing, even at atmospheric pressure, while preserving the unique assets of ALD, namely, precise thickness control down to the nanometer, high-quality films even at low temperatures, and unique conformality. As a result, SALD is ideal for applications requiring high throughput at low cost, such as new generation photovoltaics, LEDs or packaging. But there is more to SALD than a faster and scalable version of ALD. I will illustrate how 3D printing can be used to prototype and customize close-proximity deposition heads. I will then present recent studies showing the effect of open-air processing on the properties of the thin films deposited with our close-proximity system and examples of applications of the thin films developed in our group.
Resumen de su currículo (en inglés): Dr. David Muñoz-Rojas received his degree in organic chemistry in 1999 and master’s degree in chemical engineering (2000) from the Instituto Químico de Sarrià (IQS, Barcelona, Spain), obtaining the P. Salvador Gil, S.I. 2000 prize. He did his PhD in materials science (2004) at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Barcelona (CSIC- UAB). Thereafter, he worked as a postdoc at the Laboratoire de Réactivité et Chimie des Solides in Amiens (France), the Research Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Barcelona, and the University of Cambridge (Device Materials Group, UK). He is currently CNRS research director at the Laboratoire des Matériaux et du Génie Physique in Grenoble, France.
The series of Seminars of the Department of Condensed Matter Physics has the collaboration of the Aragon Nanoscience and Materials Institute, INMA, a joint institute of the CSIC and the University of Zaragoza, and the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Zaragoza.
