Imagine being able to deposit a film of material just a few atomic layers at a time. As impossible as that sounds, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a reality. In fact, it’s being used in an ...

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a bottom-up nanofabrication deposition method that technically falls within the remit of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods; but it has become well-regarded as a ...

Making films one molecular layer at a time might seem like painstaking work limited to laboratories researching esoteric surface science. But it’s not. Atomic layer deposition (ALD), a layer-at-a-time ...

AZoMaterials spoke to Dr. James Trevey, CTO of Forge Nano, about how atomic layer deposition works, how the technology is maturing, and how it can be commercially adopted. Forge Nano was originally ...

(Nanowerk News) Inside an operating nuclear reactor, the environment is extreme, as reactor components are exposed to a combination of intense radiation and heat as well as chemically reactive coolant ...

A manufacturing technique capable of depositing atomically thin layers of aluminum oxide is reshaping the market for industrial equipment to produce state of the art photovoltaic cells. Manufacturers ...

Dutch equipment supplier SALD has announced delivery of a spatial atomic layer deposition system to an unnamed customer in the United States. The tool will be used in the pilot-scale production of ...

Titanium oxide (TiO2) nanofibers can have various applications, such as in catalyzers and filters. When TiO2 is excited by ultraviolet light, it degrades organic material. Hence, TiO2 can be applied ...

A semiconductor manufacturing technique that deposits a single layer on a chip that is only one atom or one molecule thick. As elements on a chip decreased to below 100 nm, this essential technology ...
