A novel CMOS device architecture called silicon on nothing (SON) is proposed, which allows extremely thin (in the order of a few nanometers) buried dielectrics and films to be fabricated with high resolution uniformity guaranteed by epitaxial process. The SON process' dielectric (which may an oxide but also an-air gap) locally in dedicated parts chip, present advantages terms cost facility system-on-chip integration. stack itself physically confined under-gate-plus-spacer area device, thus...
The structure‐driven properties of vanadium oxide have inspired enormous developments in the last decades, especially as a smart material for energy, sensors, and optoelectronics. large variety stable metastable structures is discussed, based on calculated formation energies broad overview their structure‐related properties. established chemical deposition processes from gas phase are reviewed with particular emphasis implemented precursors obtained phases.

Strikingly, Kraft lignin nanoparticles (KLNPs) can substitute polluting in diverse applications. An attractive method for synthesizing KLNPs is Solvent shifting. We hypothesized that by a detailed understanding of the solvent properties and influence process parameters, one could derive new fundamental technical information about nanoparticle formation process.DMSO THF were chosen best solvents based on Hansen solubility parameter lignin. The four synthesis parameters such as concentration,...

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of nickel and carbide is reported starting from acetylacetonate a primary alcohol. The sequential reactions both reactants with the adsorbed species are shown to be self-limited. Use propanol or ethanol as reducing agents yields formation technologically relevant carbon-Ni3C thin films, whereas carbon content use methanol less than 5 atom %. These metallic films electrically conductive feature soft ferromagnetic behavior. thermally stable cubic lattice was grown...
Metal-oxide nanowires are showing a great interest in the domain of gas sensing due to their large response even at low temperature, enabling low-power sensors. However is still not fully understood, and mainly restricted linear regime, which limits design appropriate sensors for specific applications. Here we analyse non-linear sensor based on ZnO network, both as function device geometry oxygen exposure. Using an model, disentangle contribution nanowire resistance junctions between...

Sequential vapor infiltration synthesis (SVIS) within block-copolymer templates has emerged as an attractive means for the controlled formation of metal oxide nanoarrays on arbitrary substrates. This approach takes advantage molecular-level controls that are inherent in production template and exposure tools available vapor-phase growth materials. To take adequate these their dependencies any environmental factors, it is essential to understand mechanisms govern nanostructure morphology at...
Off-stoichiometric copper chromium oxide delafossite received lately a great interest due to its high p-type electrical conductivity and adequate optical transmittance in the visible range. However, for suitable integration active devices such as p-n junctions, transistors or optoelectronic devices, electronic properties must be efficiently tailored. Here, post-deposition thermal treatment is proven an approach finely controlling of this former degenerate semiconducting material. The...
Metal thin films are indispensable for the processing of a number modern devices that benefit from their electronic, magneto-electric and optical properties. Application trends progressively involve integration into functional which feature three-dimensional nanostructures with increasingly high aspect ratios. These conditions promote increased interest towards non-line-of-sight deposition processes such as Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) Atomic Layer (ALD). The metals using CVD or ALD is,...
The improvement of mechanical properties polymer-based nanocomposites is usually obtained through a strong polymer–silica interaction. Most often, precipitated silica nanoparticles are used as filler.
