A blunt tip reduces STM resolution, because it can cause electron tunneling to occur across a wider spatial range than intended. One of the most commonly used methods to create such a tip is ...

[Gelandagan] has some templates that will allow you to make your own electro etcher, provided you can etch your own boards and can program the PIC16F1828 microcontroller. All this info is over on ...

Such an in situ electrochemical etching method can be used to expose various well-defined metal surfaces in solution. The atomic structures of semiconductor surfaces of Si and GaAs were successfully ...

Atomic layer etching (ALE) is the reverse of atomic layer deposition (ALD). ALE can be achieved using sequential, self-limiting thermal reactions. We have recently demonstrated Al 2 O 3 ALE [1-3] and ...

The conformality and thickness control achieved by ALD and ALE are very desirable for coating and etching NEMS/MEMS and other nano/micron-sized devices. We are collaborating with Prof. Victor Bright’s ...

Samsung Electro-Mechanics is teaming up with South ... the two companies have started collaborating on the development of etching solutions, which are vital in the manufacturing of glass substrates.
