AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing (formally the American Vacuum Society, Inc.Template:Efn) is a professional and scientific society founded in 1953 as a committee on vacuum technology. The AVS supports networking among its approximately 4,500 worldwide members who include representatives of academia, industry, and government. As a member society of the American Institute of Physics, AVS functions as an association of professionals in the scientific disciplines of materials, interfaces, and processing.[1][2]

The society organizes events, including an annual symposium,[3] and publishes multiple journals, including the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology (both sections A and B). Additionally, the AVS is a member of the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique and Applications.[4]

Organization

AVS is composed of 10 technical divisions, two technical groups, 16 regional chapters, two international chapters and one international affiliate:

  • Advanced Surface Engineering Division[5]
  • Applied Surface Science Division[6]
  • Biomaterial Interfaces Division[7]
  • Electronic Materials/Photonics Division[8]
  • Magnetic Interfaces and Nanostructures Division[9]
  • Nanometer-Scale Science and Technology Division
  • Plasma Science and Technology Division[10]
  • Surface Science Division[11]
  • Thin Film Division (TF)[12]
  • Vacuum Technology Division[13]

AVS Technical Groups Division

  • Manufacturing Science & Technology Technical Group (MSTG)
  • MEMS and NEMS Technical Group

Conferences

The AVS International Symposium and Exhibition is AVS's flagship conference. The symposium addresses cutting-edge issues associated with materials, processing, and interfaces in the research and manufacturing communities. AVS also sponsors a variety of topical conferences, including the International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition and the North American Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy.
