Spring 2012
Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) is a powerful tool for structuring materials at the deep nanoscale. Modeling and simulation of electron-beam interactions at this length scale is vital to understanding and optimizing nanofabrication using EBL. The low to high voltage (5 keV – 100 keV) regimes of...

Growth and Characterization of Metastable Hexagonal Nickel Thin Films via Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition
Download2017-07-01
Motamedi, Pouyan, Bosnick, ken, Cui, Kai, Cadien, Ken, Hogan, James D.
There is a great interest in various branches of the advanced materials industry for the development of novel methods (and improvements to existing ones) for the deposition of conformal ultrathin metallic films. In most of these applications, like enhanced solar absorbers and microelectronics,...

High Surface Area Nanoelectromechanical Systems via the Integration of Glancing Angle Deposition Thin Films
DownloadFall 2013
High surface area nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are fabricated using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) thin films as the high surface area layer. The GLAD films are deposited on already-released NEMS cantilevers and doubly clamped beams (DCBs) with good uniformity. The resonance frequencies...

In Situ Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction Analysis of Phase Transformation in Epitaxial Metastable hcp Nickel Thin Films, Prepared via Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition
Download2018-01-01
Motamedi, Pouyan, Bosnick, Ken, Cadien, Ken, Hogan, James D.
Ultrathin metal films have a wide variety of applications, especially in microelectronics. A key method to deposit these films is plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), which is known for its ability to deposit thin films conformally and at relatively low temperatures. Building on the...
