Low-cost 3D-printed mask system for versatile selective sample deposition on in situ TEM chips [PDF]
HardwareXIn situ liquid electron microscopy has emerged as a powerful technique for studying dynamic processes at the nanoscale. However, selective deposition of samples on in situ biasing MEMS chips is far from straightforward due to the relatively small area of

Sidewall patterning of organic–inorganic multilayer thin film encapsulation by adhesion lithography
Scientific Reports, 2023 A simple sidewall patterning process for organic–inorganic multilayer thin-film encapsulation (TFE) has been proposed and demonstrated. An Al2O3 thin film grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) was patterned by adhesion lithography using the difference ...

XPS chemical state mapping in opto- and microelectronics [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 The strength of XPS imaging lies in its ability to (i) locate small patterns on sample surface, and (ii) inform, with micrometric lateral resolution, about the chemical environment of the elements detected at the surface. In this context, strontium-based
