This book was released on 1997-11-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thin films are used in virtually every manufacturing and technological area. A large fraction of these films are polycrystalline. Their uses range from critical components in the microelectronics industry, to hard coatings for wear resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal barriers, to magnetic, optical and medical applications. It is essential to the functional properties of these films that the microstructure, composition, architecture and stress state be produced with a high level of control which demands a detailed understanding of the mechanisms which are responsible for the formation of structure in polycrystalline thin films. This book focuses on thin polycrystalline metallic, ceramic and semiconducting films of thicknesses in the range of tens to thousands of nanometers. Topics range from fundamental to technological. Topics include: evolution of texture and microstructure; grain boundaries and interfaces; microstructure, stress and texture; characterization and representation; microstructure, texture and reliability; processing, characterization and application and polycrystalline Si and SiGe films.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flat-panel displays are rapidly becoming the displays of choice for a variety of information-displaying applications ranging from laptop computers to automobile and cockpit read-out devices. Passive matrix liquid-crystal displays, and more recently, active matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs) have led the way in the display revolution. In addition, emissive displays based on field emission, electroluminescence, and plasma charge are attracting considerable interest. Ultimately, however, the advancement in flat-panel display applications will be driven by cost and performance advantages which are dependent on the advancement of materials and process technologies used to fabricate the displays. This book focuses on the materials and large-area processes used by the various display technologies, both emissive and nonemissive, including liquid-crystal, electroluminescent, plasma, field-emission, and micromechanical displays. Topics include: AMLCD materials and processes; thin-film transistors for AMLCDs; emissive displays and materials and phosphor materials.

Download or read book Polycrystalline Thin Films Volume 403 written by Harold J. Frost and published by Materials Research Society. This book was released on 1996-09-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary book brings together researchers from a wide range of scientific fields to offer insights into the nature of polycrystalline thin films. These films have properties that are different from those of a bulk polycrystal and from those of a single crystal film. In particular, the volume focuses on film deposition and processing techniques which allow the fabrication of films with innovative microstructures and technologically relevant properties. The work presented ranges from theoretical studies to technological applications. Topics include: microstructural evolution; interfaces and mechanical properties; characterization of microstructure; hard and refractory films; polycrystalline silicon; electrical properties; optical properties; gas sensors; ferroelectric films; metallization; and magnetic and MEMS applications.

Download or read book Specimen Preparation for Transmission Electron Microscopy of Materials IV written by Ron M. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experimentation depends on many things, one being specimen preparation. Whereas TEM samples of bulk metallic or ceramic materials can be prepared in a straightforward manner, the need to examine nonbulk and/or other classes of materials creates a need for more specialized preparation methods. This book from MRS, the fourth in a successful series, pioneers novel methods or ways of characterizing the specimen preparation process. Contributions to the book are tutorial in nature, and therefore somewhat longer than usual. Papers cover both general and materials-specific specimen preparation methods. Metallic, polymer, plastic, semiconducting, ceramic and magnetic materials as found in bulk, thin-film, dispersed and powdered forms are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inexorable drive for increased integrated circuit functionality and performance places growing demands on the metal and dielectric thin films used in fabricating these circuits, as well as spurring demand for new materials applications and processes. This book directly addresses issues of widespread concern in the microelectronics industry - smaller feature sizes, new materials and new applications that challenge the reliability of new technologies. While the book continues the focus on issues related to interconnect reliability, such as electromigration and stress, particular emphasis is placed on the effects of microstructure. An underlying theme is understanding the importance of interactions among different materials and associated interfaces comprising a single structure with dimensions near or below the micrometer scale. Topics include: adhesion and fracture; gate oxide growth and oxide interfaces; surface preparation and gate oxide reliability; oxide degradation and defects; micro-structure, texture and reliability; novel measurement techniques; interconnect performance and reliability modeling; electromigration and interconnect reliability and stress and stress relaxation.
