Silicon wafers are processed by adding dielectric films, which are primarily utilized to isolate circuits and offer mechanical and chemical protection to the device. These films also serve as masking ...

Controlled synthesis of metastable materials is a major focus in materials chemistry, with metastable thin films often synthesized through rapid condensation of vapor precursors. However, achieving ...

Polymers are materials composed of repeated chains of molecules. Both natural and synthetic polymers possess many important properties that are influenced by the conformation and composition of ...

Semiconductor devices are becoming thinner and more complex, making thin deposited films even harder to measure and control. With 3nm node devices in production and 2nm nodes ramping toward ...

LIGENTEC and X-FAB have expanded their collaboration to strengthen their integrated photonics offering further and streamline customer access to advanced photonic technologies. The announcement marks ...

Thin films can be made from a variety of materials, including metals (e.g., gold, silver), oxides (e.g., silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide), and semiconductors (e.g ...

A four-year analysis conducted at a testing field in eastern Poland has shown that crystalline solar panels offer a stronger performance than thin-film panels at high latitudes. The tests revealed ...

The thin film photovoltaics market is forecast to grow to US$6.1 billion in 2033 The future of solar technology extends far beyond silicon, with numerous alternative materials that belong to a certain ...
