Tuomo Suntola

Tuomo Suntola, PhD in Electron Physics (1971), has had a far-reaching academic and industrial career, ranging from pioneering theoretical work to successful industrial applications. He is the father of the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology, an enabling technology for the production of nanoscale semiconductor devices. Alongside his industrial research, he sought a holistic view of the physical reality — which crystalized in the mid-1990s into the Dynamic Universe approach. This allows the universe to be studied as a dynamic energy system, with the energies of gravitation and motion in balance.
