The field of deposited metals continues to grow at a rapid pace. While the technologies face their share of technical challenges, arguably the greatest challenge for these technologies is acceptance. This presentation will give an overview of the technical challenges and progress, acceptance challenges and approaches, and how the past work (e.g.: Metals Affordability Inititive) are being leveraged to qualify new technologies.
Summary: Progress in deposited metals will be presented including lineage, and the effect on characterizing and qualifying new technologies.
