More About EIPBN

The international EIPBN conference is recognized as the premier gathering of scientists and engineers who are dedicated to electron, ion and photon lithography, imaging and analysis; atomically precise fabrication; nanofabrication process technologies and related emerging technologies; and their applications in a broad spectrum of fields. The EIPBN is where researchers from academia, government laboratories, and industry from around the world meet to present and discuss recent trends and future directions in these technologies.

Meeting Format

The conference opens on Tuesday with a short course session covering introductory and current topics. A special commercial session featuring exhibitors and sponsors is held Tuesday afternoon. Plenary and poster sessions are held Wednesday morning. Invited and contributing papers are presented during three parallel sessions. Presentations, including questions and discussion, are 30 minutes for invited papers and 20 minutes for contributed papers. An important feature of the program is the poster session, which provides opportunity for extended discussions with the authors. There are two formal poster sessions, but posters are displayed for informal viewing throughout the entire conference. Throughout the conference there are various focused workshops and networking events including the welcome reception, the Women in Nanotechnology luncheon, the student mentoring session, the student breakfast, and, of course, the conference banquet.

Technical Program

The Technical Program is organized by the Program Chair and assisted by volunteers that compromise the Technical Section Head panel. Over a 140 experts in the different fields of nanofabrication lend their time and expertise to suggest invited speakers, review abstracts and review manuscripts. Any researcher can be part of the Technical Section Head panel. Contact the Program Chair for information. By renewing the members of this panel the EIPBN Community is kept vibrant and up-to-date with all the recent advances in nanofabrication technology.
