AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing[3] (formerly American Vacuum Society[4]) is a not-for-profit learned society founded in 1953 focused on disciplines related to materials, interfaces, and processing. AVS has approximately 4500 members worldwide from academia, governmental laboratories and industry.

AVS is a member society of the American Institute of Physics.[3] AVS publishes through the American Institute of Physics the journals Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology (JVST A and B) and Biointerphases, which are devoted to peer-reviewed articles, and Surface Science Spectra (SSS), which publishes peer-reviewed articles with reference spectra of technological and scientific interest. In 2019 American Institute of Physics and AVS launched jointly a new journal AVS Quantum Science.

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.
