NanoIC European Winter School on Patterning

Discover the future of nanoelectronics

Imec invites students, scientists, and engineers to participate in the NanoIC European Winter School on Patterning 2025. This two-day event will feature distinguished speakers from imec who will share their expertise in lithography and semiconductor technology. 

The Winter School will cover the in-depth exploration of advanced lithography within nanoelectronics and semiconductor technologies, and networking opportunities with peers and professionals across Europe.

Why attend? 

For the first time, imec organises training focused on advanced lithography and patterning. It will guide you from fundamentals of CMOS fabrication to state-of-the-art techniques, including hot topics like Extreme Ultraviolet lithography (EUV), Atomic Layer Etching (ALE), and Area-Selective Deposition (ASD).

Additionally, this is a unique opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes impression of imec and connect with senior scientists in an informal setting. 

Program
