Valid hardness measurements require actually causing plasticity. Thus, we must know the threshold and locus for the onset of plasticity. In this session, we use the Tresca criterion to understand the onset of plasticity for both Hertzian and conical indentation. These criteria guide our understanding of the relationship between hardness and yield stress.

KLA is pleased to be a sponsor of PhotoMask Japan 2020.

Photomask Japan 2020 is the 27th international symposium on photomasks and NGL masks in Japan. The aim of the symposium is to bring together engineers and investigators from Japan, USA, and all over the world in the field of photomasks, NGL masks, and related technologies to discuss recent progress, applications, and future trends. The conference program will feature invited papers, contributed papers, poster sessions, and a panel discussion.

In the wake of the rapidly changing and unprecedented circumstances surrounding the 2019 novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), ICMCTF 2020 is cancelled.

KLA is looking forward to meeting you at the 2020 ICMCTF Conference & Exhibition. Please visit us at booth # 315 to learn about the features and benefits of our nanomechanical tester systems.

KLA’s Dr. Warren Oliver has an invited talk titled “Measurement of hardness and elastic modulus by depth sensing indentation: Further advances in understanding and refinements in methodology.” Session H2-1-TuM Advanced Mechanical Testing of Surfaces, Thin Films, Coatings and Small Volumes, Pacific Salon 6-7, Tuesday, April 28, 2020.

The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings Thin Films is an international technical conference that integrates fundamental & applied research focused on thin film deposition, characterization & advanced surface modification techniques.

KLA is a sponsor of the Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference.

ASMC is the leading international technical conference for discussing solutions that improve the collective manufacturing expertise of the semiconductor industry. Solving the challenges presented by semiconductor manufacturing is a combined effort by device makers, equipment and materials suppliers, and academics. ASMC provides an unparalleled platform for semiconductor professionals to network and learn the latest in the practical application of advanced manufacturing strategies and methodologies.

Due to the existing restrictions related to COVID-19, Control 2020 is cancelled.

Filmetrics, a KLA Company, will exhibit at Control 2020. We look forward to your visit at our booth 6413 where you will learn about our thin-film measurement systems.

Control is regarded as the leading trade fair in its industry sector. It brings together visitors from all over the world with the international market leaders and innovative suppliers of all quality assurance related technologies, products, subsystems and complete solutions in hard and software.
