Etching is a method employed during the fabrication of semiconductors to chemically remove layers from the surface of the wafer substrate. Etching is a crucial process, and each wafer is subject to ...

ITHACA, N.Y. — Cornell University researchers have discovered yet another method for shrinking the design rules on silicon chips. The researchers demonstrated the technique, called controlled etching ...

With photolithography not able to produce circuit lines much thinner than 100nm, a major focus of research into nanotechnology is in developing means to construct circuits that break the 100nm barrier ...

Extracting hydrogen from water through electrolysis offers a promising route for increasing the production of hydrogen, a clean and environmentally friendly fuel. But one major challenge of water ...

Silicon nitride etch has been one of the foundations of semiconductor manufacturing for a number of years. Overall silicon (Si) etch rate is dictated by the combination of process temperature and H 2 ...
