What is Atomic Layer Etching? Atomic layer etching (ALE) is a highly controlled and selective etching technique that removes material layer by layer at the atomic scale. It is a cyclic process that ...

At the end of one of the hottest summers on record, as fights about how to power homes rage, renewable solar energy continues to present an option that does not significantly add greenhouse gases to ...

A review of Ion Beam technology is presented in this paper. The key applications and benefits of using ion beam technology for etching processes in comparison to technology such as plasma etching will ...

This study examines the relationship between enamel acid etch pattern and bond strength. Bond strength and etch patterns vary between tooth type and between teeth within a tooth type. An 'ideal' ...

In dry etching, the trajectory of accelerated ions is non-uniform and non-vertical, due to collisions with gas molecules and other random thermal effects (figure 1). This has an impact on etch results ...
