A new grant from the National Science Foundation will allow a research team including faculty at Binghamton University, State ...

For the growth of thin films, the introduction of instrumentation began with ‘traditional’ pressure and temperature measurement sensors. This has now expanded to include optical techniques – both ...

Thin gold films offer a broad range of benefits for electronics due to their high electrical conductivity and transparency. Current manufacturing methods are unable to achieve gold films thinner than ...

Backed by TPG and Applied Materials, Elevated Materials leverages decades of vacuum roll-to-roll processing to bring ultra-thin lithium films to the battery market. SANTA CLARA, C ...

To produce the thin films, the researchers used a process called physical vapor deposition (PVD), which involved heating thorium fluoride in a chamber until it vaporized. The vaporized atoms then ...

These challenges encompass the exploration of novel materials, device architecture refinement, and optimization of current manufacturing processes ... diverse material deposition techniques.

Thin films must also meet ease-of-manufacturing requirements. These stringent demands require a clear understanding of the material systems used in advanced technologies. Therefore, dielectric ...

The results showed that plasma processing proved to be an effective technique for modifying the surface characteristics of polyamide 6,6. Different research groups are reporting significant advances ...

According to researchers at Stanford University, US, a very thin film of this non-crystalline topological semimetal conducts electricity ... “We therefore had to optimize the deposition process from a ...
