Preface
On the ISAPS ’01 in Alaska The Third International Symposium on Applied Plasma Science (ISAPS ’01) was held at the Wedgewood Resort in Fairbanks, Alaska from July 2 through July 6, 2001. The selected papers presented at ISAPS ’01 are compiled in this special issue of Vacuum.
1. About ISAPS The International Symposium on Applied Plasma Science (ISAPS) is held once in every two years to promote international collaboration on Applied Plasma Sciences. The First International Symposium on Applied Plasma Science (ISAPS ’97) was held at UCLA, Los Angeles, in USA in 1997, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the Institute of Applied Plasma Science (IAPS). The Second International Symposium on Applied Plasma Science (ISAPS ’99) was held at the OSAKA SUN PALACE in Osaka during September 20–24, 1999. The Third International Symposium on Applied Plasma Science (ISAPS ’01) has been held at the Wedgewood Resort in Alaska during July 2–6, 2001. These symposiums were held jointly sponsored by the IAPS and the Institute of Plasma and Fusion Research (IPFR) at UCLA, as the ISAPS ’97, the ISAPS ’99, the ISAPS ’01, in cooperation with the Japan Society of Applied Physics. In the ISAPS, over 50 delegates from all over the world: USA, Brazil, UK, Poland, Germany, Austria, Turkey, China, India, Philippines, and Japan will participate every time. About 60 presentations were made at the ISAPS ’99 and ISAPS ’01. (Table 1). The proceedings have been published as Advances in Applied Plasma Science, Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, respectively. These books
contain about 60 papers of the presentations at each symposium. The topics of ISAPS focus mainly on plasma applications, including application in microelectronics, application to environmental problems, and also contain applications of other high-energy sources, such as electron, ion, and laser beams. Also, the symposium covers a wide range of interdisciplinary scientific activities in the fields of energy, mechanical, electrical, material, and chemical sciences as shown in those books.
2. Summery of ISAPS ’01 The ISAPS ’01 was held in Fairbanks during July 2–6, 2001. Fig. 1 shows the Poster used for the announcement of ISAPS ’01. Fairbanks is one of the largest cities in Alaska, the northern state of the USA. But the population is not so large, 84,000, and the climate in summer is quite comfortable, with temperature around 201C. The Wedgewood Resort, where ISAPS ’01 was held is on a hill located 2 km north from Fairbanks downtown area, and is located in very quiet surroundings. The University of Alaska, Fairbanks is located in the western direction near the Wedgewood Resort. All the accommodations of ISAPS ’01 were prepared at the Wedgewood Resort, which offered the great convenience for the participants. More than 60 people attended ISAPS ’01 from various countries all over the world with 33 Japanese attendees, including a lot of members of the IAPS. Despite Fairbanks being far from the countries of the participants, even for those from USA, large number of participants made this symposium a true international meeting.

The brief schedule of ISAPS ’01 is shown in Table 2. The following events were carried out during the symposium. The symposium was opened by the Greeting of Prof. A. Kobayashi, the Symposium Chair at the Opening Session in the afternoon on Monday July 2, following the Welcome Speech by Prof. A. Y. Wong, at UCLA on behalf of the Local Organizing Committee. In the Plenary Session (Session chairs: C. Yamabe & A. Y. Wong), there were 4 invited speakers who presented most interesting updated topics related to the applied plasma sciences including experimental results in space applications etc. After the Plenary Session, Reception was held at the Wedgewood Resort, with many participants. The second day July 3 (Tuesday): the general presentations including some invited talks were made in the following Oral Sessions A–C.

The Banquet was one of the main events of symposium, and people gathered the banquet room. All of them spoke with each other and had a lot of fun during dinnertime. The fourth day July 5 (Thursday): the following three Oral Sessions G–I, and another Poster Session was conducted as in the same as the previous day. After finishing the Session, the Dinner Party (optional) was held at the Alaska Land in Fair banks.
Session C: Plasma in Microelectronics
Chairs: K. Osaki and H. Huang

The last day of the conference, July 6 (Friday), panel discussion on Applied Plasma Science was held in early morning, and the problems on Applications to Functionally Graded Materials by Plasma Process were discussed earnestly. As the Post Conference Tour (optional), the Riverboat Cruise on the Tina River, Museum of Univ. of
Alaska Fairbanks, and City Tour in Fairbanks downtown were planned, and all the participants relaxed after the conference and had a good time. Thus, 61 presentations and valuable discussions were made concerning the research results on plasma applications, including plasma sources, propulsion, various thermal processing, applica-

tions to microelectronics, environmental problems, etc. and also containing applications of other highenergy sources, such as electron, ion, and laser beams. Also, the symposium covered a wide range of interdisciplinary scientific activities in the fields of energy, mechanical, electrical, material, and chemical sciences. The selected papers in the symposium proceedings: Advances in Applied Plasma Science, Vol. 3, July 2001 were peer refereed after the conference, and were revised and refined to be published in this journal: Vacuum by Elsevier Science Ltd. as another proceedings of ISAPS ’01. Forty-four papers were contributed to this journal, which will let the readers know the content of the ISAPS ’01. I believe that research topics contained in this book are expected to enhance new interdisciplinary collaborations in the relevant research fields. ISAPS ’01 was a highly successful symposium. Participants in the symposium had interacted with each other and discussed the interdisciplinary scientific activities during the conference. ISAPS

’01 was fruitful for all attendees to continue future collaborations. The picture shown in Fig. 2 was taken when the participants joined together at the conference room on Wednesday, July 4, 2001. The next ISAPS is to be held in Kyoto, Japan 2 years later in 2003 as the ISAPS ’03, on the basis of those past successful symposiums. I hope this symposium will lead to further developments in Applied Plasma Science. Finally, I would like to present the special thanks to the members of executive committee, and other staffs of ISAPS ’01, etc. for all their cooperation.
