NORTH AMERICAN PLASMA ETCH EXCHANGE
(Advancing plasma etching through collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange)
The North American Plasma Etch Exchange, NAPEX, advances plasma etching science and technology by fostering an open exchange among American and Canadian plasma experts across academia, industry, and national labs. NAPEX creates a forum to address emerging challenges, and to provide solutions to the ever-increasing demands of nanoscale pattern transfer.
We believe in transparent sharing of knowledge, experiences, and best practices to accelerate progress in plasma etching across the community.
We foster collaboration between academia, industry, and research institutions to solve complex challenges and drive innovation in advanced fabrication.
We are committed to advancing cutting-edge plasma etching technologies through rigorous research, engineering expertise, and continuous learning.
As device architectures become more complex and materials more diverse, plasma etching faces increasing challenges in precision, selectivity, and scalability.
NAPEX provides a platform for experts to collaboratively address these challenges through shared knowledge, technical exchange, and cross-institutional collaboration.
