- Exclusive access to the MAEBL GatherTown space, SLACK channels, and invited speakers.
- Open discussions in our Common Challenges segment, to pose live questions to the MAEBL community comprised of a serious group of EBL experts who love to share their knowledge.
- No nonsense EBL shop talk. More application than theory for the EBL practitioner.
Topics of discussion include but are not limited to:
- Proximity Effect Correction
- Resist Characterization
- Scripting and Automation
- Pattern Fidelity Enhancement
- Throughput Enhancement
- Pattern Transfer (Etch and/or Lift-off)
- Anti-charging

REGISTRATION and QUALIFICATIONS TO REGISTER
Registration helps to offset the operational costs of the meeting series. A single registration is not for an organization but for an individual and is not transferrable.
All active EBL users and tool owners from academic, industry, or government institutions are encouraged to attend. To promote intimate dialogue, we have kindly requested that EBL hardware vendors refrain from registering. Attendance is granted to organizers, speakers, and non-EBL-hardware vendor sponsors. Advance online sign-up is required to participate as there will be no on-site registration. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Again, a single registration is for an individual (not an organization) and is not transferable. Please be mindful that we are a non-profit organization operated by volunteers. Anyone wishing to attend must register under their own name. An attempt to transfer registration undermines our mission and capacity to organize meetings for the electron beam lithography community.
ATTENDING IN PERSON
The health and safety of the MAEBL community are our primary concern. All attendees must abide by the host institution policies for on campus engagement: Covid-19 Institute Operations Updates – Stamps Health Services (gatech.edu). If you are attending in person, the host institution may require each attendee to be fully vaccinated and boosted. All attendees have the option to wear a face-covering regardless of vaccination status. During contact tracing, your information may be shared with the MAEBL Board, host, or any other responsible entities.
PRIVACY POLICY
In case of contact tracing or room block fulfillment, your contact information may be shared with responsible entities. Since this is a networking event, your name and email may be shared with other attendees. As part of our sponsorship program, your name and email will be shared with our sponsoring vendors. For all other purposes, your registration information will not be distributed without your consent.
REFUND POLICY
No refunds will be issued. Please be mindful that we are a volunteer operated non-profit organization. A single registration is for an individual, not an organization, and is not transferable. Anyone wishing to attend must register under their own name. An attempt to transfer registration undermines our mission and capacity to organize meetings for the electron beam lithography community. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding of this matter.

Frequently asked questions
We will send you detailed instructions to connect via email within 24 hours (sooner) of the next upcoming event.
MAEBL stands for the Meeting for Advanced Electron Beam Lithography. It is a workshop that brings together the electron beam lithography community to share best practices in tool operation, tool training, resist processing, pattern transfer, data preparation, etc.
Engagement requires synchronous interaction. Promoting asynchronous activity by way of releasing recorded talks afterward gives rise to disengagement and poor attendance.
Comparatively our cost to attend is already low compared to larger conferences. While the community of e-beam lithography is small, the community's knowledge is vast, so we encourage attendance for the entire meeting.
We tried that for a particular region. No one took ownership and, consequently, no one from their region showed up. If you find that attending virtually is cumbersome, attend in person.
We highly recommend attending in person as attending virtually is non-optimal; you must acknowledge this when registering. Let us know immediately that you are experiencing issues, and we'll do our best to fix them.
Nope. However, if you wish to make your organization's goods or services visible to our community, please consider sponsoring us by visiting https://maebl.org/sponsors to learn more.
Since its inception, MAEBL has remained vendor agnostic and time-limited, allowing for intimate discussion between our community. Other conferences have more time to allow for EBL software and hardware vendor engagement (i.e., MNE, EIPBN, MNC, ...). MAEBL just isn't one of them.
