A central part of the experiment is a hybrid nanostructure that combines two materials with very different properties.

A new breakthrough in the field of physics led by doctoral student Yueming Yan could allow for the creation of small, thin, low-power optical devices to be used in both medical imaging and ...

ALD is highly desirable for the fabrication and application of oxide semiconductor-based TFTs. We suggest that there are four key values of ALD in this area, which are illustrated in the figure: (1) ...

The mass production of conventional silicon chips relies on a successful business model with large 'semiconductor fabrication plants' or 'foundries'. New research by shows that this 'foundry' model ...

As chips shrink to the nanometer scale, precise control over every fabrication step becomes essential. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has emerged as a cornerstone of nanoelectronics, enabling the ...

First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) said Wednesday it will begin a limited production run of bifacial thin film photovoltaic modules, which it says are the first of their kind utilizing an advanced thin film ...

On Wednesday, a team of researchers from China used a paper published in Nature to describe a 32-bit RISC-V processor built using molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as the semiconductor. For ...

US-based thin-film PV manufacturer First Solar is showcasing fully functional, pre-commercial, bifacial thin-film PV modules at Intersolar Europe this week in Munich, Germany. It has announced a ...

Polymer thin-film optical cavities boost the magnetic sensing sensitivity of nanodiamond quantum sensors nearly fivefold while enabling centimeter-scale fabrication with standard manufacturing ...

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 ...
