International seminar—Film preparation and etching using vacuum or plasma technology
Vacuum News presented featuring subjects such as blast cleaning with zinc-coated abrasives; effects of impact peening and nonwoven abrasives on steel’ surfaces; and zinc-plus-paint system for corrosion protection of a steel bridge.
how they can be used to maximum effect. These aspects will be illustrated by examples, provided by a large multi-product company, of typical applications of such systems. The afternoon will be devoted to case studies from users in a range of industries.
During the session on Safety Practices, a paper was presented entitled Three Mile Island-Two Years Later. The effects on worker productivity and safety in construction of coatings on steel was discussed.
Intondod audience. The seminar is aimed principally at plant managers, production managers and senior operations staff in industries employing medium and small scale processes, either for continuous or batch production. It will be of interest to those in virtually all sectors of industry including: Engineering Printing and packaging Food, beverages, tobacco Paper and board Chemicals Glass Pharmaceuticals Textiles Soap and cosmetics Public utilities
The symposium was held in conjunction with the ASTM standards development meetings scheduled for 23-28 January at that same location. There is no fee to attend these standards-writing meetings. A special technical publication is anticipated by ASTM on the symposium proceedings. A non-profit organization with headquarters in Philadelphia, ASTM is the world’s largest source of voluntary consensus standards for materials, products, systems and services.

International Seminar-Film Preparation and Etching Using Vacuum or Plasma Technology 22-24
March 1983, University of Sussex, Brighton, England
There is a wide range of programmable control systems now in use in industry, from basic devices capable of performing simple logic control to systems capable of controlling a complete process unit. Many recent examples have digital communications facilities for program and data exchange, enabling their use in master/slave or distributed systems. This seminar will cover the ‘low-cost’ end of the range, ie systems which cost from a few thousand pounds to a few tens of thousands of pounds, and which are available in a sufficiently packaged form that a typical company can be expected to install, employ and maintain them on medium-sized production units.
Three-day international seminar with accompanying exhibition of commercially available equipment. The event is sponsored by the British Vacuum Council, which comprises the Institute of Physics, the Institution of Electrical Enginwrs and the Metals Society. For further information contact the Conference Unit, Sira Institute Ltd. Chislehurst, Kent BR7 5EH.
Programme. The morning session will consist of a pair of tutorial papers outlining the programmable control systems available for use, the types of task they can perform, how they are commissioned and maintained, how they fit into process control or product control and
The programme will cover both physical and chemical-based techniques, such as those using sputtering and gas reaction mechanisms and will include film growth by rf and magnetron sputtering, and by plasma enhancement; etching in plasmas and by
The seminar is a follow-up to that held in March 1981. The theme of the programme is the application of low pressure and plasma processes to film preparation and etching at low pressures in ionized and activated gases.

Vacuum News low-energy ion beams; film assessment techniques; and the design of process apparatus and control instruments. Speakers are drawn from industrial, government and university establishments in the UK and overseas. The seminar will conclude with visits to the Solid State Group and the Plasma Processing Laboratory of the University of Sussex to see examples of current research work. An exhibition of commercially available equipment will be held on the first two days of the seminar. There will also be an evening session devoted to short presentations by manufacturers. The seminar will be of value to those concerned with thin film technology and surface etching in electronics and electro-optical device fabrication, metal finishing and corrosion-protective layers in metallurgy. It aims to bring together users of the techniques and those who are developing the technology, and to give a balanced view of what is established practice and what is still experimental.
The aim of the conference is to bring together specialists in the fields of ion source development, beam transport, ion beam machines and ion beam surface interactions. In this rapidly developing field ion beams and plasma deposition processes are being deployed for damage studies, fusion research, semiconductor processing and machining, materials modification in metals and insulators and surface scattering analysis. The common thread to these important technological areas is the production and manipulation of beams and plasmas of varying properties and quality depending on their end use.
