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 ...
It’s a problem that few of us will likely ever face: once you’ve built your first homemade integrated circuit, what do you do next? If you’re [Sam Zeloof], the answer is clear: build better integrated ...
The PE-100 Convertible plasma system incorporates reactive ion etching and isotropic etching/cleaning technologies into a stand-alone benchtop system. The all aluminum chamber has over 240 in. 2 of ...
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 (MoS₂), a next-generation ...
Researchers from Lam Research, the University of Colorado Boulder, and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) investigated ways to speed up the cryogenic reactive ion etching process for 3D NAND ...
Mass spectrometry, by contrast, is a powerful technique for the analysis of any process gas. Careful consideration of differences in pressure, reaction time scales and process flow is essential for ...
Copper’s resistivity depends on its crystal structure, void volume, grain boundaries and material interface mismatch, which becomes more significant at smaller scales. The formation of copper (Cu) ...
