Physicists have taken the first step in a five-year effort to create novel compounds that surpass diamonds in heat resistance and nearly rival them in hardness. Reserachers investigated how the ...

A nanocrystalline diamond built by plasma vapor deposition has already produced a pressure nearly two times greater than that found at the center of the Earth. A new study finds that the manufacturing ...

Extremely thin films of material are used to make everything from potato chip bags to solar cells, and vapor deposition processes are the common techniques used to make thin layers. Vapor deposition ...

A team of international researchers has simplified the deposition of thin film layers in the commercial production of TOPCon solar cells. Via a tube-type industrial plasma-assisted atomic layer ...

A new vapour-deposition method delivers stable, high-efficiency perovskite tandems compatible with commercial silicon.

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Applied Materials Inc. today introduced a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN) barrier process for copper applications. Applied (nasdaq: AMAT) ...

The year 1981 was notable for a variety of technology breakthroughs. It saw the inaugural mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia and the debut of the DeLorean car. The IBM PC, Commodore 64, and the ...

Download the PDF brochure for more information about Alicat Scientific's mass flow controllers. Anodizing and bluing are performed to prevent corrosion, however these methods can scratch off, and ...

Applied Materials Inc. rolled out its ALPS nickel plasma vapor deposition technology, claiming it can achieve between a 20 percent and 50 percent reduction in resistivity at 40nm line widths. Designed ...

From the last several lithography nodes, in the 14 to 10nm range, to the latest nodes, in the 7 to 5nm range, the requirements for patterning and image transfer materials have increased dramatically.
