Growth temperature is a critical parameter determining the sheet carrier density of scandium aluminum nitride (ScAlN)-based heterostructures, grown using the sputtering technique. Gallium nitride (GaN ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a technology for real-time estimation of the valence state and growth rate of iron oxide thin films during their formation. This novel technology ...

Trikon Technologies and Eco-Snow Systems have developed a sputtering technique for producing GaAs and other compound semiconductor devices The process has the potential to increase productivity for ...

Modifying surfaces by shooting particles at them - this technique, called 'sputtering', is indispensable in surface science. However, if the surface is not perfectly smooth and regular, it is hard to ...

The next generation of large scale telescopes will need durable mirrors that are highly reflective, uniform and have substrate diameters in excess of 8 meters. Traditionally, evaporative coatings have ...
