Topic and theme of the workshop

Hybrid materials offer the possibility of exploiting the materials properties of both their organic and inorganic constituents, with the attractive possibility of creating altogether novel functionalities. In thin film format, these materials can enable breakthroughs in several technological application areas such as packaging, electronics, and biomedical applications.

Combining inorganic and organic building blocks on a molecular scale is challenging due to the different preparative conditions needed for forming inorganic and organic networks. An attractive method is molecular layer deposition (MLD). MLD resembles the mainstream technology of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD).

In contrast to ALD, the precursor chemistry in MLD is expanded to include organics in addition in inorganics, thus enabling linking both types of building blocks together in a controlled way to build up organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The technique has already been extended to cover a plethora of metal and organic components resulting in both amorphous and crystalline hybrid thin films with a wide range of potential applications.
