Jain, H. (author), Creatore, M. (author), Poodt, P. (author)Infiltration of trimethylaluminum (TMA) in molecular layer deposition-enabled alucone thin films on planar substrates is a common observation reported in the literature. An insufficient TMA purge time in such cases is often found to lead to a CVD component in the overall film growth due to the reactions between the outgassing TMA and the co...article 2023

Verhoosel, J.P.C. (author), van Bekkum, M.A. (author)Nowadays, manufacturers must be increasingly flexible to quickly produce a high mix of on-demand, customer-specific, low volume product types. This requires flexible assembly lines with operators that are well-supported in their constantly changing assembly task, while producing high-quality, first-time-right, zero-defect products. Information...conference paper 2017
