Simulating the Future of PECVD: Better Processes, Better Devices
Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) is a cornerstone of modern electronics manufacturing, yet fully capturing its complex physics through simulation has remained a significant challenge—until now. EMA has developed breakthrough, patent-pending innovations that enable full-physics simulation of PECVD with unprecedented accuracy and practicality.
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how EMA’s advanced simulation platform empowers engineers to optimize PECVD processes, reduce trial-and-error experimentation, and unlock measurable yield improvements. You’ll learn how our services team can apply these tools to a demonstration project tailored to a critical element of your process. If successful, our deployment team can seamlessly integrate the capability into your workflows, and ultimately license the solution for ongoing use in your production environment.
Join us to discover how EMA’s innovations are redefining PECVD simulation—delivering better processes, better devices, and a more efficient path to high-yield manufacturing.

Speaker: Tim McDonald EMA Principal Scientist II and Co-owner
Tim McDonald, PhD is the President and Co-Owner of Electro Magnetic Applications where he has implemented new system-modeling approaches to simulate the interaction of systems and their electronics with electromagnetic environments in a shorter time, with more accuracy, and at a lower cost. He is a consultant to NASA and DoD major primes for specialty engineering of critical systems, development of novel solutions to EMI/EMC problems, and in the execution of major programs that require verification to electromagnetic environmental effects.
Topic: 3D Plasma Simulations for PECVD, Sputtering, Etching, and more in Ansys Charge Plus Presenter: Kevin-Druis Merenda, EMA Lead Software Product Manager Abstract: EMA has decades of simulation, consulting, and experimental experience in plasma physics and electromagnetics. We developed state-of-the-art numerical solutions to solve complex engineering problems related to radiation hardening (very-high-energy very-low-density plasmas), spacecraft […]
Topic: Identifying and Mitigating RF Interference for Cell Phones, Aircraft Carriers, and Everything in Between Presenter: Matt Miller, EMA Co-Owner and Principal RF Engineer II Abstract: Radio Frequency (RF) systems represent one of the most critical technology areas today. Without RF systems, all types of vehicles cannot navigate, communication cannot occur, advanced weapons cannot hit […]
Topic: GPU-Accelerated Ray Tracing for Radiation Dose Mapping Presenter: Colin Brennan, EMA Scientist II Abstract: A core problem in radiation hardening analysis is the prediction of cumulative ionizing dose in electronics while exposed to the space environment. The most common techniques for modeling this problem rely on either Monte Carlo particle transport, or ray-tracing sector […]
Topic: Kinetic Theory of Plasma Discharges and its Simulation Capabilities Presenter: Jacob Johnson, EMA Scientist II Abstract: The ability to simulate discharges has long been of interest, particularly to the circuit breaker and switch gear industries. Over the years, the breakdown of air has been heavily studied along with commonly used gases such as sulfur […]
Topic: Simulating Air Electrostatic Discharge: Examples and Workflow Presenter: Jennifer Kitaygorsky, EMA PhD Principal Scientist Abstract: ESD (electrostatic discharge) testing is required for most electronic products. While contact ESD testing is desired because it’s easily controllable and quantifiable, it becomes less and less applicable in an era of ubiquitous handheld devices. This means that Air […]
Topic: E3 Certification for eVTOL Aircraft Presenter: Cody Weber, EMA Principal Scientist II Matt Miller, EMA Principal RF Engineer II Abstract: With electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, the engineering community is once again called to support an emerging technology that could have an amazing impact on the way people and goods are transported. […]
Topic: Easier Full-Device Modeling for EMC and ESD Presenter: Tim McDonald, EMA President Abstract: Do you think full-device electromagnetic modeling of products is impossible? The team behind EMA3D® set out decades ago to solve this problem. This webinar on EMA3D® will describe the basic workflows and teach new users how to get up to speed in these […]
Topic: KART 25.921 Lightning Research Program for Fastener Sparking Threshold Database Presenter: Cody Weber, EMA Principal Scientist II Bill Martin, EMC Expert Brock Milford, HIRF and Lightning Engineer, NIAR Environmental Test Lab Ernie Condon, Senior Research Engineer, Wichita State University National Institute of Aviation Research Abstract: NIAR and EMA® have completed two phases of a research program […]
Topic: Ansys EMC Plus 2022 R1 What’s New Presenter: Tim McDonald, EMA President Abstract: This webinar will demonstrate the new capabilities and features added to EMA3D® Cable (now Ansys EMC Plus) 2022 R1 in this update: EMA3D® and Nexxim transient circuit co-simulation, new material property and cable libraries, and expanded cable harness connectivity features! Feature Updates Details: […]
Topic: Mitigating Electric Discharges with Ansys Charge Plus Presenters: Kevin-Druis Merenda, EMA Senior Scientist Abstract: Electric discharges are the release and flow of charge in a medium such as a gas or a solid. In the consumer electronics industry, discharges may be caused by the buildup of static electricity or by short-circuits. In the high-voltage […]
