In comparison, silicon and other inorganic transistors necessitate high-temperature processes—even LTPS requires 450°C+ processes. Thus, it’s not possible to manufacture silicon TFTs on TAC ...

L3Harris on Monday unveiled a software platform, Amorphous, for controlling large swarms of uncrewed systems across multiple domains, allowing aerial drones, ships and other platforms to operate ...

imec, a Belgium-based research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, has announced “a significant milestone in silicon photonics” with the successful demonstration of ...

Scientists from Jülich Research Center, University of Stuttgart, and Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics (IHP), all in Germany, together with French partner CEA-Leti, have ...

Computer models challenge decades-old understanding of the element’s structure ...

Silicon (Si) nanoparticles (NPs) and self-organized high spatial frequency laser (HSFL) induced periodic surface structures were fabricated by means of femtosecond ablation of bulk Si target in ...

The team led by researchers based at RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics has demonstrated that GHz burst femtosecond laser pulses can create unique two-dimensional (2D) laser-induced periodic ...

The need for smaller periodic nanostructures continues to grow as nanotechnology develops. Laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) has been earmarked as a viable alternative to the ...

Whereas a simple periodic laser pulse might just alternate between two laser sources (A, B, A, B, A, B, and so on), their new pulse train instead ran by combining the two pulses that came before ...

Fine-tuning the thermal conductivity of amorphous silicon used in technologies such as solar cells and image sensors should become much easier thanks to the computational topology and machine ...

Abstract: In this paper, we report formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on amorphous silicon (a-Si) films of various thickness by their lateral scanning with fs laser pulses ...
