LEELIS-III

Low-energy electrons: Lithography, Imaging, and Soft Matter
12 & 13 November 2018, Amsterdam

We are pleased to announce LEELIS-III, a unique platform to focus on the role of low-energy electrons in imaging and nanolithography. While low-energy electrons play a key role in very diverse processes, ranging from radiology to astrochemistry, they are of particular importance for industrial extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) and low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM). In both these examples, sensitive material (photoresists, soft matter) is exposed to ionizing radiation and low-energy electrons. However, we know little of how low-energy electrons propagate in different materials, or how they induce chemical reactions. Filling this knowledge gap is essential for moving EUVL and LEEM forward, and particularly for pushing lithography to its physical limits.

Following the success of the first and second LEELIS workshops, we address the interactions between low-energy electrons and soft matter from different perspectives. We will bring together experts from complementary fields such as condensed matter physics, EUVL, low-energy electron microscopy and engineering to come to novel insights on the physics of low-energy electrons, and the chemistry they induce.

The program of the workshop is built around invited lectures, student lectures (selected from the submitted abstracts) and poster presentations, and will allow ample time for discussions.
