Chemical vapour deposition or CVD is a generic name for a group of processes that involve depositing a solid material from a gaseous phase and is similar in some respects to physical vapour deposition ...

The term "ALD" was first used around 2000. This technique achieves atomic layer control and conformal deposition through successive, self-limiting surface reactions. It involves introducing chemical ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) There is currently a tremendous amount of interest in the solution processing of inorganic materials. Low cost, large area deposition of inorganic materials could revolutionize ...

Atomically thin layers of aluminum oxide, iron oxide, and nickel oxide create colorful patterns on the tray that Joel Schneider, a PhD candidate in chemical engineering at Stanford University, uses to ...
