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.

Akira Kinbara
