Microelectronics plays a major role in a host of late twentieth century technologies.
Everywhere you look, microprocessors seem to be present. Taking the venerable …

In this review, key aspects of the surface chemistry associated with atomic layer deposition
(ALD) are discussed. It is argued that, in spite of its central role in defining the efficacy of …

Sophisticated chemical processing allows us to create thin films with selected properties and
to pattern these films with shrinking dimensions and increasing precision. Chemical …

A flux of atoms, molecules, or molecular fragments impinging on a cold substrate will
condense to form a thin film, a conformation that is a rich source of topics in materials …

Publisher Summary Deposition technology can well be regarded as the major key to the
creation of devices such as computers, since microelectronic solid-state devices are all …

Conspectus The deposition of thin solid films is central to many industrial applications, and
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods are particularly useful for this task. For one, the …

Discussing specific depositions of a wide range of semiconductors and properties of the
resulting films, Chemical Solution Deposition of Semiconductor Films examines the …

The continuous decrease in size of electronic devices has reached a critical point at which
the molecular‐level understanding of chemical processes is imperative. Metal‐containing …

Current integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing consists of more than 800 process steps, nearly
all of which involve reactions at surfaces that significantly impact device yield and …

Discover the materials set to revolutionize the electronics industry The search for electronic
materials that can be cheaply solution-processed into films, while simultaneously providing …
