There are many ways to deposit a nanosized film, in what is termed ‘bottom-up’ deposition methods. Nanosized films can also be produced by top-down approaches—such as lithography or etching—where ...

Aerosol deposition (AD) methods have emerged as a transformative approach for fabricating both thin and thick films entirely at room temperature. By utilising aerosolised powders propelled onto ...

With the advancing of material science, nowadays the thin film deposition technology is developing quickly and has a crucial role in our everyday lives. Thin film deposition is the act of applying a ...

Layer deposition techniques have emerged as indispensable methods for constructing ultrathin films with precise control over thickness, composition and microstructure. Methods such as atomic layer ...

Platinum (Pt) ribbons, sheets, and foils are important intermediary goods utilized to create a varied range of end-products. Even though this material is difficult to find, it has been utilized in a ...

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) originated from atomic layer epitaxy, which was introduced in 1970 and initially used in electroluminescent displays. It rapidly revolutionized semiconducting ...

A research team, led by Professor Joonki Suh in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Graduate School of Semiconductor Materials and Devices Engineering at UNIST, has made a ...

The laser wavelength, pulse duration, and fluence (energy density) significantly influence the ablation process and the resulting plasma plume. Shorter wavelengths and higher fluences generally lead ...

For thin film optical coatings, most critical production challenges appear in the first half of the manufacturing cycle, particularly in coating deposition methodologies. As explained by Ron Willey, ...

Researchers developed a method to coat curved surfaces with ultra-thin transparent metal films, achieving 88% light transmittance and low resistance like flat electrodes.
