Highlighted Research

Line wiggling due to plasma-induced film stress and prevention by surface roughness modification

To investigate the impact of plasma-induced stress on line wiggling, pattern deformation was compared with and without hardmask exposure to the plasma during etching of porous SiOCH (p-SiOCH) with TiN hardmasks of 28 nm pitch. Wiggling occurred in patterns with low residual hardmask stress only upon plasma exposure.

Science challenges and research opportunities for plasma applications in microelectronics

Low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) are essential to manufacturing devices in the semiconductor industry, from creating extreme ultraviolet photons used in the most advanced lithography to thin film etching, deposition, and surface modifications. It is estimated that 40%–45% of all process steps needed to manufacture semiconductor devices use LTPs in one form or another.

Vertical silicon nanowedge formation by repetitive dry and wet anisotropic etching combined with 3D self-aligned sidewall nanopatterning

Three-dimensional (3D) stacking of nano-devices is an effective method for increasing areal density, especially as downscaling of lateral device dimensions becomes impractical. This stacking is mainly achieved through plasma processing of stacked layers on top of a silicon (Si) substrate, which offers process flexibility but poses challenges in obtaining vertical sidewalls without plasma induced damage.

Evolution of quantum spin sensing: From bench-scale ODMR to compact integrations

This paper provides a comprehensive review of quantum spin sensing with a focus on the nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond. Beginning with the discovery of optically detected magnetic resonance in NV centers, we trace the evolution of this technology and its integration with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology, marking a significant advancement in measurement science.

A review of magnetic nanoparticles used in nanomedicine

The ability to manipulate magnetic nanoparticles with external magnetic fields and their compatibility with biological systems make them versatile tools in the field of nanomedicine. Recently, the integration of various nanotechnologies with biomedical science, pharmacology, and clinical practice has led to the emergence of the discipline of nanomedicine.

Stimuli-responsive hydrogel dressing for wound healing

Wound healing is a complex, variable, and time-dynamic repair process. Wounds can be classified as acute wounds or chronic wounds, and effective wound management is still a major challenge in clinical nursing settings. The wound microenvironment is collectively regulated by internal biomolecules, external drugs, and external sanitation.

Etching of quartz crystals in liquid phase environment: A review

Quartz crystals are the most widely used material in resonant sensors, owing to their excellent piezoelectric and mechanical properties. With the development of portable and wearable devices, higher processing efficiency and geometrical precision are required. Wet etching has been proven to be the most efficient etching method for large-scale production of quartz devices, and many wet etching approaches have been developed over the years.

Past, present, and future of hybrid plasmonic waveguides for photonics integrated circuits

This article addresses the past, present, and future status of hybrid plasmonic waveguides (HPWs). It presents a comprehensive review of HPW-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs), covering both passive and active devices, as well as potential application of on-chip HPW-based devices.

Microwave biosensors utilizing metamaterial enhancement: Design and application

Microwave sensing technology has become increasingly widely applied in the biomedical field, playing a significant role in medical diagnosis, biological monitoring, and environmental warning. In recent years, the introduction of metamaterials has brought new possibilities and opportunities to microwave biosensors.
