Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of electro-optic (EO) thin films with silicon-integrated circuits provides a promising approach to creating optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) capable of sending information at data rates greater than 1 Gbit/second with low power consumption. These devices are of two basic types - very highly parallel (64K channels or greater) or very high speed (Gbits/ second/channel). Materials scientists, chemists and physicists come together in this new volume to discuss EO thin-film materials and devices, and to learn about advances in fields outside of their specific areas. Electro-optic materials featured include organic polymers and/or multilayers, liquid crystals, and inorganic thin films. Materials design, processing, and device issues are addressed. Topics include: nonlinear organics; liquid crystals for integrated optics; ferroelectric thin films; Er-doped inorganic thin films; inorganic thin film waveguides.

Download or read book Structure and Properties of Multilayered Thin Films Volume 382 written by Tai D. Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 1995-11-10 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Layered thin film structures often have unusual properties which make them appealing in a wide range of applications. Fabrication of submicron and nanometer multilayers can produce metastable phases that many not be predicted from the bulk equilibrium phase diagrams. Understanding the growth, structure, stability and properties of multilayers, and controlling their microstructure through processing, are important in many applications. This book focuses on the relationship of structure and processing to the properties that are relevant to all researchers in the field of multilayers. Topics include: phase transformation and reaction kinetics; processing and growth; structural characterization; magnetic, electronic and optical properties; mechanical properties; X-ray optics; thin-film interfaces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diverse set of materials science communities come together in this volume to review the extraordinary progress made in the development of computer simulation and modeling techniques for the prediction of film morphology, microstructure, composition, profile and structure. These techniques are rapidly moving out of the area of academic research and into technological and production design areas of thin-film-based industries. The book is loosely organized in ascending order of modeling-length scales - from atomic, up to the entire deposition reactor. Topics include: deposition and growth modeling; film morphology and topology; film microstructure; failure mechanisms; etching; process modeling and control and reactor-scale modeling.
Download or read book Silicide Thin Films Volume 402 written by Raymond T. Tung and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tremendous advances have been made in the use of silicides as contacts and interconnects in micro-electronic devices and as active layers in sensors. A flourish of novel fabrication concepts and characterization techniques has led to high-quality silicide devices and a better understanding of the electronic and micrometallurgical properties of their interfaces. However, the shrinking physical dimensions of ULSI devices beyond the deep submicron regime now poses new and serious materials challenges for the development of manufacturable silicide processes. Scientists and engineers from materials science, physics, chemistry, device, processing and other disciplines come together in this book to examine the current issues facing silicide thin-film applications. Topics include: silicide fundamentals - energetics and kinetics; processing of silicide thin films; ULSI issues; CVD silicides; semiconducting silicides; processing of germano-silicide thin films; silicides and analogs for IR detection; interfaces, surfaces and epitaxy; novel structures and techniques and properties of silicide thin films.
Download or read book Epitaxial Oxide Thin Films II Volume 401 written by James S. Speck and published by . This book was released on 1996-03-29 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding and control of epitaxial oxide heterostructures has progressed along multiple frontiers including magnetic, dielectric, ferroelectric, and superconducting oxide materials. This has resulted in both independent rediscovery and the successful borrowing of ideas from ceramic science, solid-state physics, and semiconductor epitaxy. A new field of materials science has emerged which aims at the use of the intrinsic properties of various oxide materials in single-crystal thin-film form. Exploiting the potential of these materials, however, will only be possible if many fundamental and engineering questions can be answered. This book represents continued progress toward fulfilling that promise. Technical information on epitaxial oxide thin films from industry, academia and government laboratories is presented. Topics include: dielectrics; ferroelectrics; optics; superconductors; magnetics; magnetoresistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 16 countries represented, this book represents international developments in the field of film synthesis and growth using energetic beams. It focuses on pulsed-laser deposition. Fundamental issues pertaining to the generation of laser ablation plumes, temperature distributions and collisional effects are described. Ion-assisted pulsed-laser deposition, pulsed-ion deposition, applications of hyperthermal beams and aspects of surface dynamics are discussed. The inclusion of an ion beam with the ablation process leads to some unique modifications in the thin-film growth mechanisms, and hence, film properties. Likewise, the collision of high-mass metal cluster ions with substrates shows promise for growth of novel structures. Also featured are new developments of optoelectronic materials, nitrides and carbon films using a variety of techniques. The effects of beam-induced defects on growth and surface morphology, chemical effects during growth, and characterization of film growth and film properties are addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer/inorganic interfaces play a fundamental role in a wide range of applications, yet understanding of the fundamental interactions between polymers and inorganic phases, and how they affect the strength and durability of the interface, is still in its infancy. This proceedings volume addresses various aspects of polymer/inorganic interfaces, including surface preparation and treatment, characterization and interface performance. In addition, applications where the interface and its properties play a significant role, such as in biointerfaces, microelectronics, polymer composites and interpenetrating polymer networks, are discussed. Contributions to the volume examine various inorganic material/polymer interfaces with an emphasis on composites, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, poly(methyl methacrylate), polysiloxanes and various hydrophilic polymers. These are arranged in seven units that identify major research efforts in specific fields. They include: experimental probes of interfaces; biointeractions and biointerfaces; adhesion and interface durability; interface characterization; primers for interface preparation; interfaces and composites and surface preparation.
