After more than a decade of research and development, Tokyo Electron Miyagi Ltd. has introduced an innovative semiconductor ...

HEFEI, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- An international research team has developed a "self-etching" technique to process soft and unstable ionic crystal lattice semiconductors, specifically 2D perovskite ...

Released every 12 to 18 months, 3D NAND scaling outpaces most other semiconductor devices in replacement rate and performance ...

Extracting hydrogen from water through electrolysis offers a promising route for increasing the production of hydrogen, a clean and environmentally friendly fuel. But one major challenge of water ...

For maximum resolution in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), an extremely sharp metallic tip is required, which serves as the point through which the STM “scans” a sample. A blunt tip reduces STM ...

Anisotropic etching exploits the crystallographic orientation of silicon, utilising differential etch rates along distinct planes to produce highly defined microstructures. Central to this technique ...

An example of directional etching for nanohole arrays of less than 500nm in diameter. (Image: A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering) Wet etching can be classified into two main types ...

Ion beam expertise is critical to delivering the manufacturing tolerance required for these gratings. Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology has developed a technology to allow optical designers to ...

With photolithography not able to produce circuit lines much thinner than 100nm, a major focus of research into nanotechnology is in developing means to construct circuits that break the 100nm barrier ...

The manufacture of semiconductors has attracted a lot of interest of late, especially because the U.S. produces such a small global share of the most advanced chips. Dutch company ASML’s standout ...
