FOREWORD
International Symposium on Sputtering and
Plasma Processes (ISSP) was established in 1991. The main subject
of the 1st symposium was "Reactive Sputtering". Since
then, this symposium has been held every two years and the most current
topic concerning sputtering and plasma processes has been taken up as a
main subject at each symposium.
This symposium has two
characteristics. One characteristic is that the program committee members
are mainly researchers in industries. Hence, the general tendency of the
presented papers in the symposium is rather practical and industrial, though
very academic papers are also welcomed. The second is that all the
authors including invited speakers and oral presenters are requested to present
their papers at the Poster Session in the evening. This means that
the audiences can discuss the presented results with the authors in detail.
The 8th ISSP will be held on
June 8-10, 2005 in Kanazawa, Japan. I
hope that every engineer and researcher in the world who is interested in the
sputtering and plasma processes comes to Kanazawa and joins us to discuss the
central issues in the present materials science and technology.
