Bochumer Plasmaforscher in Sheffield

The 1st International conference on HIPIMS was held in Sheffield, UK from 6th to 7th July, 2010. The aim of the conference is to promote High Impulse Power Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS), to provide a scientific forum for discussion of the fundamentals of plasma science and exchange new ideas of application of HIPIMS in industry. Main focus of the conference was on the topics such as generation of HIPIMS plasma, characterisation of Plasma and Coatings both in reactive and non-reactive HIPIMS processes and simulation of HIPIMS processes. Prof. Dr. Jörg Winter, Dr. Teresa de los Arcos, Dr. Ante Hecimovic, and Marina Prenzel attended the conference where they had a chance to find about the latest achievements in the field of HIPIMS, furthermore they made valuable contacts with experts from the field of HIPIMS and agreed on future collaboration that should bring the work on HIPIMS at RUB at the level with world leading laboratories.
