WHETHER we’re aiming for better sleep or clearer skin, there’s a supplement for just about everything these days. But do we ...

But although about 75% of the Earth is made from silica — or silicon dioxide (SiO 2), the main constituent of silicate minerals such as sand, quartzite or granite — elemental silicon itself is ...

The narrow, deep holes required for one type of flash memory are made twice as fast with the right recipe, which includes a ...

in the development of a pilot reactor process where hydrogen plasma acts as a quartz reductant to remove oxygen from the silicon dioxide. “It also acts as a refining step because of the very ...

Researchers at Osaka University developed advanced terahertz photodetectors containing ‘living’ microelectrodes. A vanadium ...

This is then coated with a layer of silicon dioxide -- kind of a silicon rust, which doesn't conduct electricity. On top of this is placed a chemical called photoresist. Flashing a pattern of ...

It is employed for depositing photoresists, dielectric layers (e.g., silicon dioxide, silicon nitride), and conductive polymers (e.g., PEDOT:PSS) onto silicon wafers or other substrates. The precise ...

The gate dielectric is a very thin insulation layer, traditionally made of silicon dioxide, that lies between the transistor's metal gate electrode and the channel through which the current flows.

Osaka University's study on VO2 metamaterials demonstrates improved terahertz detection in silicon devices, highlighting ...
