FINAL PROGRAM

TENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PARTICLES

ON SURFACES: DETECTION, ADHESION AND REMOVAL

NOVOTEL Hotel, Toronto, Canada; June 19-21, 2006

This will be the tenth event in the series of symposia on particles on surfaces initiated as part of the Fine Particle Society meeting in 1986. Particles are yield detractors in the manufacture of sophisticated and sensitive electronic components and are very undesirable in many other technologies. Contamination of optical surfaces and shorting of microelectronic circuits by conducting particles, among other concerns, underscore the importance of particle detection, adhesion and removal. On the other hand, however, in certain instances particle adhesion to surfaces is necessary. The purpose of this symposium is to address the vast ramifications of particles on solid surfaces by bringing together specialists in many allied fields to discuss their latest findings and to identify areas for further investigation. Various types of substrates and particles including metals, oxides, glass, and polymers are covered.

Finally, it is apropos that this meeting is being held back to back with the FIFTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CONTACT ANGLE, WETTABILITY AND ADHESION. Both of these symposia share a common and critical interest in the surface free energy of solid materials. The particle removal investigator knows this quantity strongly affects particle adhesion and for the contact angle person it is one of the prime measurement objectives. Thus on Wednesday the 21^st we plan to bring both groups together for a joint session with papers of interest to both camps. It is hoped that a cross-fertilization of ideas will lead to insights of mutual benefit to all. The following is the list of papers to be presented at this meeting. Please note that the address given may apply only to the presenting author
