Wikipedia List of multiple discoveries updated with ALD

The Wikipedia page List of multiple discoveries has been updated by adding ALD in the list of multiple discoveries in the 20th century. With this addition, the VPHA Publication Plan Item 11 "Updating wikipedia" is completed.

The update consists of the addition of the following text:

• The principles of atomic layer deposition, a thin film growth method in its part enabling the continuation of semiconductor device scaling according to the Moore's law in the 2000s, were developed by Soviet scientists Valentin Aleskovsky and Stanislav Koltsov in the early 1960s and independently discovered in 1974 by Tuomo Suntola.^[72][73][74]

The three references mentioned are the three reviews/essays generated in the Virtual Project on the History of ALD:
