Welcome to the 25th International Conference on Ion Implantation and Annealing Technology (IIT)
It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 25th edition of the IIT conference, which will be hosted by Infineon Austria Technologies AG in Villach, Austria, in September 2026.
As we celebrate this jubilee edition, we are also introducing an important update:
to reflect the growing importance of post-implant thermal treatment in ion implantation processes, we are officially extending the conference name to:
International Conference on Ion Implantation and Annealing Technology (IIT)
To give you a better idea of what you can expect, let us briefly introduce some of the key aspects of the upcoming conference.
Biennial Series with Rich History
The IIT conference series has a long tradition of bringing together experts from industry, research institutes, and universities to discuss the latest challenges and advancements in ion implantation and annealing processes, as well as related fields such as simulation and metrology. Our biennial series provides a unique platform for engineers and researchers to share new results, exchange ideas, and explore new applications.
Comprehensive Program
The conference will feature a wide range of topics, from fundamental research and new methods to industrial applications and equipment. We welcome contributions from experts in the field and encourage participants to share their latest findings and innovations. In addition to the technical program, excursions and a banquet dinner will support networking within the community.
IIT School: A Unique Opportunity for Learning
Prior to the conference, we will host a three-day school covering fundamental and practical aspects of ion implantation and annealing in both research and production environments. A dozen world-class experts from industry and academia will share their expertise, and participants will receive a comprehensive, approximately 600-page hardcover book.
Experience Villach and Its Surroundings
We look forward to welcoming you to Villach – a beautiful small city surrounded by the Alps and picturesque lakes. The conference will provide a unique opportunity to share and discuss leading-edge technical content while also enjoying the local charm and attractions. Villach is an ideal place to extend your stay beyond the event and explore the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
