After several years of hoopla, the industry may begin to see atomic layer deposition (ALD) used at the 65nm node, but physical vapor deposition (PVD) will nevertheless still be used at least down to ...
PVD is the most important coating process to produce thin layers of materials. Used for architectural or smart glass, displays, touch panels and solar cells, thin layers provide crucial properties for ...
Semitool Inc., of Kalispell, Montana, has received a patent for copper seed layer deposition that it said can reduce overhang that results from thick physical vapor deposition (PVD) layers by reducing ...
TOPCon's global manufacturing expansion is creating an opportunity to rethink technology platforms and prepare for ...
Copper’s resistivity depends on its crystal structure, void volume, grain boundaries and material interface mismatch, which becomes more significant at smaller scales. The formation of copper (Cu) ...
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 ...
