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 ...
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 ...
In this report, a novel method to prepare photonic crystals based on the combination of soft-X-ray interference lithography (XIL) and reactive ion etching (RIE) with a bi-layer photoresist system was ...
As part of LASER COMPONENTS‘ presentation marathon at the SPIE LASER conference during Photonics West, Thierno-Mamoudou Diallo, Opto-Electronics and III-V Semiconductor Specialist at LASER COMPONENTS ...
The demand for accurate characterization of high aspect ratio geometries such as narrow gaps, deep trenches or deep holes arises in many technologies and industries. A variety of metrology techniques ...
Beyond Korea, companies in Taiwan, Japan and other regions are expressing interest in the Primo SSC AD-RIE etcher. This is not unexpected. The extreme challenges of dry etching at 20nm and below has ...
A typical semiconductor is fabricated from metal and barrier layers separated by passivation layers. A further glassivation and/or polyimide layer on top of these provides environmental and mechanical ...
