Plasma & Materials Processing
Our scientific objective is to obtain atomic-level understanding of the interaction of plasmas and reactive gases with materials in the field of atomic scale processing.
We are unique in our approach to studying plasma and surface processes in situ and in real time with a large set of current and new diagnostics
We focus on advancing the science and technology of plasma and materials processing, a multidisciplinary research area that encompasses the research fields of plasma physics, surface science and materials science. Our aim is to be an internationally leading group in the field of atomic scale processing, for present-day and future applications in energy technologies, nanoelectronics and nanotechnology.
The group studies the physics of the plasma medium, how reactive species interact with surfaces and how atomic scale processes can be used to fabricate, prepare or modify materials and their surfaces. We do so through our advanced processing facilities, our large set of plasma and surface diagnostics and state-of-the-art material analysis techniques.

Research themes
Casimir Institute
Chips and systems are the invisible infrastructure of modern life, powering AI, enabling green technologies, advancing healthcare, and driving digital transformation. The catalyzes innovation across disciplines by bringing together 700 researchers under one roof, and delivering tangible solutions for a sustainable digital information society. Located in the heart of Europe鈥檚 Brainport region, we are establishing the Chips and Systems University of Europe. Our mission is to secure Europe鈥檚 technological sovereignty by accelerating innovation in chip technologies and high-tech systems, aligned with the and the .
Inspired by Hendrik Casimir鈥檚 science-technology spiral, we embrace the reciprocal relationship between fundamental research and technological advancement. Our approach focused on future chips and high-tech systems, intertwines four key domains - design and integration, materials and processes, equipment and components, and foundational technologies into a seamless innovation engine. We deliver sustainable, high-impact innovations and develop the technologies and talent that shape the future of chips and high-tech systems worldwide.
