To store ever more data in electronic devices of the same size, the manufacturing processes for these devices need to be studied in greater detail. By investigating new approaches to making digital ...
Plasma etching has become the cornerstone of modern semiconductor fabrication, offering unparalleled precision in the removal of material from silicon, compound semiconductors and dielectric films. By ...
A large-scale (4-inch), highly uniform, and defect-free plasma etching technology, which will likely become the foundation of the industrial supply of molybdenum disulfide (MoSâ‚‚), a next-generation ...
The electronics industry is the modern ''toolmaker'' for the world economy and as such helps to generate jobs and improve productivity in most other industries. Automobiles, airplanes, telephones, ...
After years in R&D, a technology called cryogenic etch is re-emerging as a possible option for production as the industry faces new challenges in memory and logic. Cryogenic etch removes materials in ...
In dry etching, the trajectory of accelerated ions is non-uniform and non-vertical, due to collisions with gas molecules and other random thermal effects (figure 1). This has an impact on etch results ...
What is Reactive Ion Etching (RIE)? Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) is a dry etching technique widely used in the fabrication of micro- and nanodevices. It combines the chemical reactivity of reactive ...
