A New IUVSTA/EBARA Award Established

Anouk Galtayries, President‐Elect and LRPC Chair [anouk.galtayries@chimieparistech.psl.eu]

In accordance with the strategic objectives of the Union for sustainable societal development, IUVSTA has established a new scientific Award sponsored by EBARA for an excellent young researcher, to be given in a dedicated ceremony at IVC-21 next year. The award will inspire young researchers and engineers to work on environmentally friendly solutions in the area of vacuum-related science and technologies. It is expected that the projects submitted to the Award will be related to vacuum science and technologies and demonstrate considerable environmental benefits. Projects expected to be carried out at a university or an industry laboratory with no restriction on the location of the project. However, visibility with respect for environmental protection is important.

 

Vacuum equipment is an essential element in the production value chain of semiconductors, solar cells, LED, E- mobility batteries, etc. that account for markets of several 100s of billion dollars. In that respect, vacuum equipment is an enabler for the environmental benefit of these mainstream technologies. The advancement of vacuum equipment and technology does not just enable the creation of areas with close-to-zero pressure, but is an integral part of facing the challenge of increasingly complex production processes by enabling manufacturers to manage corrosive gases with equipment that is fully connected digitally, enabling low maintenance, and ability to withstand harsh environments.

Hence, advancements in vacuum technology enable progress in mainstream technologies, especially with respect to reducing impact on the environment. The crucial role of vacuum technology as a keystone technology deserves increased awareness. IUVSTA has therefore decided to establish an award for environmentally friendly vacuum science and technology. It is for the same reason that EBARA has decided to sponsor this award.

IUVSTA and EBARA herewith announce this award. Young researchers working in the area of vacuum science and technology should feel inspired to participate in a contest for the development of environmentally friendly vacuum technologies. The winner will be awarded a prize to the amount of 3000 euros at the IVC21 event in Malmö/Sweden, July 1-5. The kick-off, application procedure and further details of project content and scope will be communicated by IUVSTA in the coming months.

Prof. Lars Montelius, IUVSTA President, commented, ”We are excited about the collaboration with EBARA in the creation of this award for outstanding young researchers. The prize will highlight the enabling character of Vacuum Science and Technologies for a sound sustainable societal development. The prize will pave the way for an increased interest for, and understanding of, the importance of Vacuum Science and Technology in and for society at large.”

Dr. Manabu Tsujimura Chief Technology Officer of EBARA, commented, "We are very happy to be collaborating with IUVSTA to create this award for young researchers supporting the development of vacuum technology, that helps further cutting‐edge technologies in other areas such as semiconductor manufacturing. Through this award, we hope to promote active research and development into environmentally friendly vacuum technology."
