Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new molecular layer etching technique that could potentially enable the manufacture of increasingly small microelectronics. The technique is ...

Atomic layer etching (ALE) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) represent pivotal techniques in nanofabrication, enabling control of material removal and growth at the atomic scale. By utilising ...

CHICAGO (AP) -- Copied images are so pervasive in the modern world that we can easily forget there was a time when they were rarities and objects of wonder. But centuries before the invention of ...

In recent years etching techniques have proved fruitful in the study of polymers, especially of the semicrystalline thermoplastics. They range from 'metallographic-type' surface etching methods to ...

Major processes in semiconductor wafer fabrication: 1) wafer preparation, 2) pattern transfer, 3) doping, 4) deposition, 5) etching, and 6) packaging. The process of creating semiconductors can be ...

The technique avoids toxic byproducts from conventional halogen gases, cutting environmental impact while advancing ...

Hafnium oxide (HfO2) has attracted attention as a promising material for ultrathin semiconductors and other microelectronic ...

Over the last few months, [Chris] has been machining a timepiece out of brass and documenting the entire process on his YouTube channel. This week, he completed the clock face. The clock he’s ...
