[Frankie] and [Bryan] have figured out a way to use the laser to chemically activate an etching process. See experiment part 2 as well. First, to be clear, they are using a quality 40W Epilog Zing ...

Sounds like a win all around. But Twitter wouldn’t stand for this chemical heresy, with comments suggesting that the etching process would release chlorine gas, or that ferric chloride is far ...

Similar to how a ship rusts when exposed to seawater, plasma used during the etching process continuously reacts with the internal components of the equipment, leading to corrosion and contamination.

One of the main challenges is the control over the etching process, particularly in terms of the etch rate uniformity, surface roughness, and feature size variability. The development of advanced ...

Atomic layer etching (ALE) is a highly controlled and selective etching technique that removes material layer by layer at the atomic scale. It is a cyclic process that relies on self-limiting chemical ...

The team’s approach uses a cryogenic etching process using hydrogen fluoride plasma rather than the traditional method. "Cryo etch with the hydrogen fluoride plasma showed a significant increase ...

Using a specially developed etching apparatus ... we were able to unambiguously identify the fundamental charge transport process," says Dr. Tommy Hofmann, first author of the study.

Each year, it's estimated that over a billion birds are lost due to collisions with glass. In response, architects, ...

The process modules provide high-throughput, outstanding uniformity, high-precision, and low-damage processes for wafer sizes ranging up to 200 mm. This helps in several markets, such as GaAs and InP ...

Previously, Samsung Electronics had utilized only U.S. Lam Research equipment for the advanced extreme cold etching process of the previous generations V8 (236-layer) and V9 (286-layer ...

Lam Research announced on the 11th the launch of its etching equipment, 'Akara,' which can be applied to the three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor manufacturing process. According to Lam Research, this ...
