Interface structure between Li and garnet-type Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 (LLZT) solid electrolyte was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on symmetric cells | LLZT Li. Charge transfer resistance (RCT) using pellets with various roughness. RCT activation energy (Ea) obtained the flat interface is as high 746 Ω cm2 0.51 eV at 25°C, respectively, indicating that charge reaction (grit number: #8000) a kinetically slow process, which may suppress rate capability all...
Abstract This article discusses key elementary surface-reaction processes in state-of-the-art plasma etching and deposition relevant to nanoelectronic device fabrication presents a concise guide the forefront of research on plasma-enhanced atomic layer (PE-ALE) (PE-ALD). As critical dimensions semiconductor devices approach scale, atomic-level precision is required processing. The development advanced with such accuracy necessitates an in-depth understanding surface reaction mechanisms. With...
Surface etching and fluorination of yttria (Y2O3) by energetic fluorine (F) ions radicals were studied with mass-selected mono-energetic ion beams in an energy range 500–3000 eV xenon difluoride (XeF2) gas exposure. The yields Y2O3 evaluated this found to be lower than those silicon dioxide (SiO2). It was also that, when the incident sufficiently low, a small percentage near its surface converted yttrium trifluoride (YF3), rather oxyfluoride. However, as increased, fraction oxyfluoride...
Room-temperature fabrication of Schottky diodes was demonstrated for p-type boron-doped diamond. This method’s key technique is selective modification surface termination from monohydride into oxygen groups using vacuum ultraviolet light irradiation in oxygen. The Au contacts, formed on the hydrogen-terminated surface, maintained Ohmic properties after this oxidation. contacts then deposited oxidized imparting properties. lateral-type comprising and showed blocking voltage higher than 1 kV...
Hydrogen in hydrofluorocarbon plasmas plays an important role silicon nitride (Si3N4) reactive ion etching. This study focuses on the elementary reactions of energetic CHF2+ and CH2F+ ions with Si3N4 surfaces.

We have fabricated high-performance ultraviolet (UV) detectors with high-quality undoped and B-doped homoepitaxial diamond layers which were sequentially grown on a high-pressure/high-temperature-synthesized (HPHT) type-Ib (100) substrate by means of high-power microwave-plasma chemical vapor deposition method. The detector performance measured had large quantum efficiencies due to an effective built-in current amplification function, fast temporal responses, high UV/visible sensing ratios...
Li-stuffed garnet-type solid Li-ion electrolytes have been considered as a promising candidate for all-solid-state Li batteries. In this work, alkaline earth metal-doped electrolytes, Li6.5La2.5A0.5TaZrO12 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) were prepared by conventional solid-state sintering (CSS) and spark plasma (SPS) methods.
