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

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

How chemical etching keeps tooling costs low and allows for rapid design changes. 1. Chemical etching can create complex, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new cryogenic plasma etching technique developed by Japanese researchers dramatically accelerates semiconductor fabrication while cutting environmental impact, offering a potential breakthrough for ...

[Sebastian] probably didn’t think he was wading into controversial waters when he posted on his experimental method for etching PCBs (in German). It’s not like etching with hydrochloric acid and ...

Photochemical etching is a machining technique that leverages the principles behind photography to shape a piece of sheet metal and turn it into a finished product or component. The modern form of ...

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 ...

Google “etching on photographs” and you’ll find a number of different processes; photo chemical etching, photo engraving, even good old lithography. What you won’t find is any reference to hand ...

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 ...
