Electron Beam Induced Deposition (EBID) allows deposition of three-dimensional micro- and nano-structures of conductive and insulating materials on a wide range of substrates. The process is based on the decomposition of molecules of a pre-selected precurs ...
There is a need for chemically resistant coatings that protect the exposed surface of microfluidics components. Pinhole free films with low stress and a good uniformity on flat and inclined surfaces are required. In this study, amorphous silicon carbide (S ...
The invention relates to an effusing source for film deposition made of a reservoir comprising one hole characterized by the fact that the hole diameter is less than one order of magnitude than the mean free path of the molecules determined by the pressure ...

The low-pressure chem. vapor deposition of copper and platinum was studied on SiO2 substrates which had been locally prenucleated with ultrathin metal layers of Pt, Cu, Pd, Au, and W. These layers were between 0.1 and 30 .ANG. thick and were produced by va ...
Electronic device-quality Cu was deposited on Pt-patterned oxidized Si wafers from hexafluoroacetylacetonate-copper(I)-trimethylvinylsilane by using low-pressure chem. vapor deposition at 150-250 Deg in He carrier gas. Smooth Cu films ?0.8 mm thick have be ...
Titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN)-based coatings are designed specially for applications where oxidation and wear resistance are primary demands, as in the case of cutting tools. Moreover the coatings are required to be thermally stable as well as have go ...
When silicon thin films are deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition in a plasma regime close to the formation of powder, a new type of material, called hydrogenated polymorphous silicon (pm-Si:H) is obtained. This material has increased tran ...
When AxGa1-xAs layers are grown on V-grooved GaAs substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), a Ga rich vertical quantum well (VQW) appears in the V-groove centre. The width and Ga enrichment of this structure depend on the nominal Al c ...
A new approach to the modelling of grain structure formation in solidification processes is proposed. Based upon a two-dimensional cellular automata technique, the model includes the mechanisms of heterogeneous nucleation and of grain growth. Nucleation oc ...
The anodic oxidn. of H2SO4 to H2S2O8 was investigated on B-doped synthetic diamond electrodes obtained by hot filament chem. vapor deposition. High current efficiency for H2S2O8 formation can be achieved in concd. H2SO4 (7.5 mol dm-3) and using high curren ...
