Motion of Contact Line of a Crystal Over the Edge of Solid Mask in Epitaxial Lateral Overgrowth [PDF]

, 2004
Mathematical model that allows for direct tracking of the homoepitaxial crystal growth out of the window etched in the solid, pre-deposited layer on the substrate is described.

Crack‐Free, Soft Wrinkles Enable Switchable Anisotropic Wetting

Angewandte Chemie, 2017
AbstractSoft skin layers on elastomeric substrates are demonstrated to support mechano‐responsive wrinkle patterns that do not exhibit cracking under applied strain. Soft fluoropolymer skin layers on pre‐strained poly(dimethylsiloxane) slabs achieved crack‐free surface wrinkling at high strain regimes not possible by using conventional stiff skin ...

Wetting layer thickness and early evolution of epitaxially strained thin films

, 2000
We propose a physical model which explains the existence of finite thickness wetting layers in epitaxially strained films. The finite wetting layer is shown to be stable due to the variation of the non-linear elastic free energy with film thickness.

Monte Carlo Methods for Estimating Interfacial Free Energies and Line Tensions [PDF]

, 2011
Excess contributions to the free energy due to interfaces occur for many problems encountered in the statistical physics of condensed matter when coexistence between different phases is possible (e.g. wetting phenomena, nucleation, crystal growth, etc.).

A Masking Approach for Anisotropic Silicon Wet Etching

Electrochemical and Solid-State Letters, 2001
A new simple and rapid room-temperature silicon masking approach based on the exposure of silicon to CHF3-based plasma is presented. This plasma treatment leads to silicon surface modifications appropriate for masking purposes during anisotropic etching in ethylenediamine-pyrocatechol-water (EPW) solutions.

Resonance Modes of Water Drops Pinned to a Vibrating Rectangular Post

Micromachines
We studied the effects of vertical vibrations on a water drop that was pinned to the sharp edges of a rectangular post. By varying the frequency and amplitude of the vertical displacement, distinct resonance peaks were observed using a simple optical ...

Level Set Approach to Anisotropic Wet Etching of Silicon [PDF]

Sensors, 2010
In this paper a methodology for the three dimensional (3D) modeling and simulation of the profile evolution during anisotropic wet etching of silicon based on the level set method is presented. Etching rate anisotropy in silicon is modeled taking into account full silicon symmetry properties, by means of the interpolation technique using experimentally
