UCLA doctoral student Yilin Wong noticed that some tiny dots had appeared on one of her samples, which had been accidentally ...

Curiosity about a mistake that left tiny dots on a germanium wafer with evaporated metal films led to the discovery of beautiful spiral patterns etched on the surface of the semiconductor by a ...

and when he got the urge to do some etching recently, he realized that he was fresh out of “Ferret Chloride and Bureaucratic Acid*.” Undeterred by his empty chemical cabinet, he poked around ...

Dry etching methods are all anisotropic processes; that is, they direct copper removal in a single direction and avoid the risk of undercutting. Wet methods, all of which rely on chemical ...

Telford precision manufacturer Advanced Chemical Etching has completed a £350,000 investment drive, as the company looks to grow its market in sectors such as aerospace and medical. ACE, which is ...

What is Reactive Ion Etching (RIE)? Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) is a dry etching technique widely used in the fabrication of micro- and nanodevices. It combines the chemical reactivity of reactive ...

They applied the 2017 Nobel Prize-winning 3D structural analysis method for protein particles to solve a long-standing ...

Advanced Chemical Etching (ACE), which is approaching its 25th anniversary in business later this year, has installed two additional single chamber Chemcut etching machines and a state-of-the-art ...

UNSW researchers were able to recover silicon from end of life solar PV panels pure enough for re-use in silicon carbide-based devices. Their novel multi-step method which includes thermal and ...

Further experiments showed that the patterns arise from chemical reactions that are coupled ... Next, the researchers placed a drop of mild etching solution onto the surface and dried it overnight ...
