The 10th International Symposium on Functional Coatings and Surface Engineering (FCSE) will take place in Montréal, Québec, Canada on June 2-5, 2024.
DHF Technical Products, a leading designer and manufacturer of precious metal sputtering targets, will be a Silver Sponsor of FCSE and have a booth at the Symposium Exhibit.
Canada’s premier symposium for the vacuum sciences.
FCSE is organized by the Regroupement québécois sur les matériaux de pointe (Quebec Consortium on Advanced Materials – RQMP) and the St. Lawrence Chapter of the AVS Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces and Processing in collaboration with the Society of Vacuum Coaters and The International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique and Applications, and Prima Québec. It will be hosted by Polytechnique Montréal and Université de Montréal.

A comprehensive program.
This year’s FCSE will focus on topics including thin films and thin film systems for a variety of optical, optoelectronic, aerospace, outer-space, energy-control, biomedical, micro-system, sensor, energy and other applications; vacuum and non-vacuum deposition processes, controls and diagnostics; plasma processes and surface interactions; modeling and predictive tools to enhance coating system performance; protective tribological coatings; residual stress in films and coatings; surface and interface engineering approaches for the control of adhesion, stress and environmental stability; and life cycle analysis for surface engineering solutions. FCSE will feature invited lectures of leading experts; poster sessions; short courses; workshops on coating characterization; discussion and networking sessions as well as an exhibit.
An enlightening two-day exhibit.
The exhibit will be an integral part of the FCSE conference where the technical program participants, equipment vendors and manufacturers can connect and share the latest innovations in vacuum coating, thin films and surface engineering. The exhibit is a two-day event running on Monday June 3rd and Tuesday June 4th.

An award-winning venue.
FCSE will be held at Campus MIL at the Université de Montréal. This award-winning Science Complex, to date the largest Canadian university project, is located in the heart of the island of Montréal, where it adjoins the town of Mount Royal and forms a link between several Montréal boroughs. Montréal is a world-class destination with a mix of French roots, British heritage and a North American upbringing. A fitting location for a symposium that’s sure to be buzzing with energy like its host city.
