Application tracks
An application track is a grouping of presentations on a topic of interest across all conferences. During submission of an abstract, the submitting author should select an application track if it is relevant to their research.
- AI/ML: Papers that highlight the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning to create and implement intelligent systems across multiple sectors, technologies, and applications.
- Sustainability: Papers that highlight the use of optics and photonics for renewable energy, natural resource management, sustainable manufacturing, and greenhouse gas mitigation in support of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
- Stochastics: Papers related to Line Edge Roughness (LER), Line Width Roughness (LWR), photon and secondary electron stochastics, chemical and process nonuniformity.
- Advanced Packaging: The interconnection of multiple integrated devices, including electronic, photonic, and/or MEMS, to be packaged as a single component. Advanced packaging achieves performance gains through the integration of several devices in one package, driving heterogenous integration and chiplet architectures.
- EPE/Overlay: Papers related to overlay, CD, and Edge Placement Error (EPE), characterization and metrology, root cause analysis, and process improvements.
