NO-driven etching behavior of SiO2 and Si3N4 in cryogenic NF3/NO plasmas

Journal of Applied Physics
Gas composition and substrate temperature play key roles in governing surface reaction pathways and the etching behavior of dielectric films. In this study, the temperature- and composition-dependent etching characteristics of silicon dioxide and silicon nitride films were investigated in cryogenic NF3/NO plasmas, with the aim of clarifying how NO ...

Enhanced Tantalum Superconducting Resonator Performance via All‐Surface Organic Monolayer Passivation

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 64, 10 August 2026.
The internal quality factor of tantalum superconducting resonators is significantly increased by ∼140% in the low photon regime by passivating their surfaces with a high‐quality alkene self‐assembled monolayer. Our methodology promises to enhance the performance of superconducting quantum circuits.

Characterization Techniques for Graphene, Graphene Oxide, and Reduced Graphene Oxide: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review Guided by International Standards

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 32, 24 August 2026.
Characterization of biomass‐derived “graphene” materials against international standards (ASTM E3220‐25; ISO/TS 80004‐13:2024) reveals that the majority fail normative classification criteria and are more accurately identified as turbostratic graphitized carbon or graphite nanoplatelets. A minimum six‐technique protocol—integrating Raman, XPS, AFM, ICP‐

Interlayer‐Catalyst Method for Metal‐Assisted Chemical Etching of Ultra‐High Aspect Ratio Silicon Nanostructures

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 16, 25 August 2026.
An advanced patterning method is presented for metal‐assisted chemical etching. The interlayer replaces the resist and enables catalyst deposition on a clean interface. The prepared samples show improved performance with a more reproducible etching profile, higher aspect ratio, and increased consistency over a larger area.
