In this video, I demonstrate two simple electrical methods for metal etching that serve as alternatives to traditional ...

While most of the time the name of the game is to remove a lot of metal, etching is an entirely other process. If you just want to put a logo on a piece of steel, or etch some labels in a piece of ...

Atomic layer etching (ALE) is the reverse of atomic layer deposition (ALD). ALE can be achieved using sequential, self-limiting thermal reactions. We have recently demonstrated Al 2 O 3 ALE [1-3] and ...

is a reactive ion etcher with the addition of a inductively coupled plasma to achieve a high density plasma for enhanced anisotropic etching. This system is limited to non-metal samples and currently ...

Next up is metallization, and spoiler alert: it wasn’t easy. In a real fab, metal layers are added to chips using some form of deposition or sputtering method, each of which needs some expensive ...
