Researchers have developed a Physics-Chemistry-Informed Neural Network (PCINN) designed to predict surface coverage in spatial atomic layer deposition (SALD) with high accuracy and speed. This hybrid surrogate model achieves CFD-level accuracy in milliseconds, significantly outperforming traditional computational fluid dynamics methods for real-time applications. The PCINN architecture is designed to be interpretable, with a trainable chemistry layer integrated into the model, allowing for robust identification of kinetic parameters like adsorption and desorption energies.
