Light Induced Chemical Vapour Deposition (LICVD) of titanium dioxide thin films is studied in this work. It is shown that this technique enables to deposit locally and selectively a chosen crystalline phase with a precise controlled thickness at low substr ...
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 ...
Deposition of thin films via hydrothermal method has various advantages: low deposition temperature, high purity, deposition on a three-dimensional structure, and a large thickness. Although an epitaxial lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin-film deposition h ...
The in-situ growth of PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) and PbTiO3 (PT) thin films by reactive sputter deposition has been investigated for applications with silicon substrates. In-situ deposition from three simultaneously operating magnetron sources was applied. At the ...
A flexible method for simultaneous nanoscale structures fabrication and patterning is described, using a combination of stencil mask and pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) techniques. A miniature shadow-mask with nano-apertures in a very thin microfabricated me ...
AIN is a material used in a wide variety of applications such as electroacoustic devices, blue diodes, IR windows, thermal conductors, metal-insulator-semiconductor structures, integrated circuit packaging, etc. In this work thin piezoelectric AIN polycrys ...
Hydrogenated polymorphous silicon (pm-Si:H) is a new material obtained by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition by running the plasma close to powder formation. Preliminary studies have revealed the presence of silicon nanocrystallites embedded in an ...
We use molecular dynamics to analyze the dependence on the impact angle of the distribution of defects originated by the deposition of a Ag/sub 19/ cluster on Pd(100) at initial kinetic energies 0.1, 2, 20 and 95 eV. For increasing energy the cluster under ...
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 ...

Electrodeposition of magnetic multilayers was achieved in the cylindrical pores of a nuclear track-etched polycarbonate membrane. An assembly of wires with an average diameter of 80 nm and a length of 6 μm was obtained. Multilayers in these wires were grow ...
