Thin film technology focuses on the deposition and analysis of functional material layers on a substrate. These layers are essential building blocks in modern devices, like the microchips found in ...

In reactive sputtering process with an Ar + O₂ gas mixture, the plasma emission observed near the cathode changes in appearance. When the oxygen content is high, the plasma exhibits a reddish-violet ...

Thin films play a crucial role in the fabrication of several components and devices, such as protective coatings, integrated circuits, solar cells, and optical ...

Sputtering targets are the source materials for the preparation of sputtered thin films. In particular, high-purity sputtering targets are used in the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process for the ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a technology for real-time estimation of the valence state and growth rate of iron oxide thin films during their formation. This novel technology ...
