The need of surface-localized thermal processing is strongly increasing especially w.r.t three-dimensionally (3D) integrated electrical devices. UV laser annealing (UV-LA) technology well addresses this challenge. Particularly UV-LA can…
Three-dimensional (3D) CMOS technology encourages the use of UV laser annealing (UV-LA) because the shallow absorption of UV light into materials and the process timescale typically from nanoseconds (ns) to microseconds (us) strongly limit…
The state-of-the-art CMOS technology has started to adopt three-dimensional (3D) integration approaches, enabling continuous chip density increment and performance improvement, while alleviating difficulties encountered in traditional…
Ultraviolet nanosecond laser annealing (UV-NLA) proves to be an important technique, particularly when tightly controlled heating and melting are necessary. In the realm of semiconductor technologies, the significance of nanosecond laser…
Microscale additive manufacturing of reflective copper is becoming increasingly important for microelectronics and microcomputers, due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Yet, it remains challenging for state-of-the-art…
Copper nanoparticles have been grown in silica matrix by annealing of the sol-gel prepared porous matrix impregnated with the copper nitrate. The annealing has been performed in air, successively in air and hydrogen, and in hydrogen. Cu…
A series of Co_xCu_{100-x} (x = 0, 40...75, 100) layers with thicknesses in-between 13 nm and 55 nm were prepared on silicon substrates using cross-beam pulsed laser deposition. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD), transmission electron…
Two types of nucleation layers (NLs), including in-situ low-temperature grown GaN (LT-GaN) and ex-situ sputtered physical vapor deposition AlN (PVD-AlN), are applied on cone-shaped nanoscale patterned sapphire substrate (NPSS). The initial…
This paper is devoted to studying the recrystallization of 100 nm thick polycrystalline films of copper and silver. It is found that in copper films deposited by the thermal evaporation method onto a substrate at room temperature, a bimodal…
The technique of laser-assisted nanoimprinting lithography (LAN) has been proposed to utilize an excimer laser to irradiate through a quartz mold and melts a thin polymer film on the substrate for micro- to nano-scaled fabrications. In the…
Nanocrystalline metals are promising radiation tolerant materials due to their large interfacial volume fraction, but irradiation-induced grain growth can eventually degrade any improvement in radiation tolerance. Therefore, methods to…
UV laser annealing (UV-LA) enables surface-localized high-temperature thermal processing to form abrupt junctions in emerging monolithically stacked devices, where the applicable thermal budget is restricted. In this work, UV-LA is…
Nanocrystalline metals, i.e. metals with grain sizes from 5 to 50 nm, display technologically interesting properties, such as dramatically increased hardness, increasing with decreasing grain size. Due to the small grain size, direct…
When $50$ nm thick Pt microheaters of lateral dimensions $1\times10$ $\mu$m$^2$ are subjected to high electric power their resistance $R$ rises, as expected. Following an initial rise however there is a gradual decrement in $R$ while…
Solute segregation is used to limit grain growth in nanocrystalline metals, but this stabilization often breaks down at high temperatures. Amorphous intergranular films can form in certain alloys at sufficiently high temperatures, providing…
Nanocrystalline Cu-3 at.% Zr powders with ~20 nm average grain size were created with mechanical alloying and their thermal stability was studied from 550-950 {\deg}C. Annealing drove Zr segregation to the grain boundaries, which led to the…
The thermal decomposition behavior, the microstructural evolution and its influence on the mechanical properties of a supersaturated Cu Co solid solution with ~100 nm average grain size prepared by severe plastic deformation is investigated…
During laser micro-polishing, the constant control of laser energy density is a key technology to improve the surface roughness. In this paper, a method which controls the energy density of UV(ultraviolet) pulse laser in real time with the…
Laser processing of graphene is of great interest for cutting, patterning and structural engineering purposes. Tunable nanosecond lasers have the advantage of being relatively widespread (compared to e.g. femtosecond or high-power…
We report on a laser annealing procedure which greatly improves the quality of suspended monolayers of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown MoSe2. Annealing with a green laser locally heats the suspended flake to approximately 600 K, which…
