E Beam Lithography Electron-beam lithography (often abbreviated as e-beam lithography, EBL) is the practice of scanning a focused beam of electrons to draw custom shapes on a surface covered with an electron-sensitive film called a resist. Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) allows users to write patterns with extremely high resolution, smaller than 10nm in size. Important […]

India does not have adequate legislations that can prevent illegal dumping of spent lithium batteries. Electric vehicles (EV) are a part of the new normal as the global transportation sector undergoes a paradigm shift, with a clear preference towards cleaner and greener vehicles. Like its western counterparts and China, India has pushed the mandate for

High reproducibility and safely operations Principles: What is electron staining? Electron staining is a method for enhancement image contrast of electron microscopy specimens which are composed with light element (eg. polymer materials, biological specimens etc.), by binding heavy metals. For polymer specimens, osmium tetroxide (OsO4) and ruthenium tetroxide (RuO4) are often used. What is “vacuum” electron staining?

Wafer cleaning simply means- to get rid of particles and contamination. The objective of the wafer cleaning process is the removal of chemical and particle impurities without altering or damaging the wafer surface or substrate. The surface of the wafer must be maintained not affected so that roughness, corrosion or pitting negates the results of

Intregrated Circuit ( IC ) Delayering Within the semiconductor industry, the business to tear down, deconstruct, or deprocess wafer level integrated circuits (IC) exists. This deconstruction process is pursued to conduct failure analysis and reverse engineering of the internal structure of the IC device. The IC’s are small chips which may have an areal size

DLC for IR Optics ( Diamond like Carbon Deposition) : What is DLC ? DLC stands for Diamond-Like Carbon. From a material science point of view, this means that it shares many of the characteristics of diamond itself, or rather DLC emulates diamond’s properties enough to be considered similar. Some of these properties include the Hardness

Rapid thermal processing (or RTP) refers to a semiconductor manufacturing process which heats silicon wafers to high temperatures (up to 1200 C or greater) on a timescale of several seconds or less. The wafers must be brought down (temperature) slow enough however, so they do not break due to thermal shock..Such rapid heating rates are

Studying Meteorites As a cooperative effort with NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Smithsonian, the U.S. funds the curation and collection of Antarctic meteorites. By studying the “stardust” on meteorites, scientists can gain insight about the formation of our solar system, and increase their understanding of the role of stars in the universe. These
