AbstractThis award is made in response to Dear Colleague Letter 24-130, as part of the ECosystem for Leading Innovation in Plasma Science and Engineering (ECLIPSE) interdisciplinary program. In semiconductor manufacturing, small solid particles, such as dust particles, are a source of contamination. Microchips made from silicon wafers are ruined when a particle lands on its surface during one of the manufacturing steps. Many of these steps involve a plasma to etch or deposit thin films. During these ste
