How atomic-layer deposition and hybrid dielectrics are redefining reliability and scaling for AI-era semiconductors.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) originated from atomic layer epitaxy, which was introduced in 1970 and initially used in electroluminescent displays. It rapidly revolutionized semiconducting ...

The fabrication of nanoscale devices increasingly relies on techniques that offer atomic‐scale precision, with Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Area-Selective Deposition (ASD) at the forefront. ALD ...

Thin film technology focuses on the deposition and analysis of functional material layers on a substrate. These layers are essential building blocks in modern devices, like the microchips found in ...

A research team, led by Professor Joonki Suh in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Graduate School of Semiconductor Materials and Devices Engineering at UNIST, has made a ...

The major factors affecting the performance of crystalline thin films are the presence of grain boundaries and inherent crystal structure. Post-deposition annealing is frequently employed to improve ...

The laser wavelength, pulse duration, and fluence (energy density) significantly influence the ablation process and the resulting plasma plume. Shorter wavelengths and higher fluences generally lead ...

For thin film optical coatings, most critical production challenges appear in the first half of the manufacturing cycle, particularly in coating deposition methodologies. As explained by Ron Willey, ...

A trio of NETL (National Energy Technology Laboratory) scientists recently released a paper entitled “Metal-organic framework thin films as versatile chemical sensing materials,” which is considered ...
