(author)Atomic layer deposition by means of spatial separation of reactive gases is emerging as an industrial manufacturing technology. Integration of non-thermal plasma in spatial ALD machines will further expand the process window towards lower operation temperatures and specific materials requiring radicals (O, N, H, OH, NH etc.).

French, P. (author), Krijnen, G. (author), Roozeboom, F. (author)Microsystems are increasingly being applied in harsh and/or inaccessible environments, but many markets expect the same level of functionality for long periods of time. Harsh environments cover areas that can be subjected to high temperature, (bio)-chemical and mechanical disturbances, electromagnetic noise, radiation, or high vacuum. In the...article 2016

(author)Compared to conventional NAND flash resistive switching metal-oxide cells show a number of advantages, like an increased endurance, lower energy consumption, and superior switching speed. Understanding the role of defects for the resistive switching phenomenon in metal oxides is crucial for their improvement and thereby also for their acceptance...article 2016

Nanda, G. (author), van Veldhoven, E. (author), Maas, D.J. (author), Sadeghian Marnani, H. (author), Alkemade, P.F.A. (author)The authors report the direct-write growth of hammerhead atomic force microscope (AFM) probes by He+ beam induced deposition of platinum-carbon. In order to grow a thin nanoneedle on top of a conventional AFM probe, the authors move a focused He+ beam during exposure to a PtC precursor gas. In the final growth stage, a perpendicular movement of...article 2015

(author)Modification of the absorber surface properties by Cd2+ treatment (Cd2+ partial electrolyte) results in the following: formation of Cd(OH)2 on the absorber surface, deposition of thinner chemical bath-deposited CdS buffer layer, and a smaller space charge region. The impact on electrical performances is as follows: decrease of the series...article 2015

van der Linden, R.J.P. (author), Marck, J.W. (author), de Boer, J.P. (author)Operating maturing assets poses increasingly complex challenges to operators. Meeting hourly or daily production targets becomes more difficult when wells are more often shut in for e.g. water washes (against salt deposition) or solvent jobs (at asphaltenes deposition). Declining reservoir pressure in turn results in less margin to compensate...conference paper 2015

Roozeboom, F. (author), van den Bruele, F. (author), Creyghton, Y. (author), Poodst, P. (author), Kessels, W.M.M. (author)Conventional (3D) etching in silicon is often based on the ‘Bosch’ plasma etch with alternating half-cycles of a directional Sietch and a fluorocarbon polymer passivation. Also shallow feature etching is often based on cycled processing. Likewise, ALD is time-multiplexed, with the extra benefit of half-reactions being self-limiting, thus...article 2015

(author)In this work, we propose a detailed numerical model for asphaltene agglomeration and deposition, as induced by a resolved turbulent liquid carrier phase flow, in which transport, breakup, and re-entrainment are also taken into account. Asphaltene phase separation is represented by the appearance of adhesive primary particles, which bond upon...article 2015
