Nuñez, J. (author), Boersma, A. (author), Grand, J. (author), Mintova, S. (author), Sciacca, B. (author)Infrared absorption spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool that enables the identification of molecular species. The sensitivity of this technique, that is strongly limited by the small absorption cross-section of molecular vibration, can be greatly improved by resonant interaction with nano-antennas via the surface-enhanced infrared...article 2021

(author)In this paper, we discuss the setup of a confocal nanoscope in reflection using a super-oscillatory lens (SOL)which offers a sub-diffracted focal spot with an ultra-short depth of focus (≈100 nm). A tolerance of 20 nm defocussing in a 10 μm travel range is thus necessary, translating to an alignment requirement of the stage, with respect to the...conference paper 2019

(author)Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are the fundamental building blocks of today's display industry. To achieve higher drive currents and device density, it is essential to scale down the channel lengths of TFTs. To be able to fabricate short-channel TFTs in large volumes is also equally important in order to realize lower fabrication costs and higher...article 2019

Kok, W.D. (author), Kruithof, M.C. (author)One of the main challenges in detecting a nano-sized particle on a ‘rough’ surface is to differentiate the particle from speckle that is caused by the substrate. The ‘traditional’ approach in particle detection is to record multiple images under varying illuminations, and sum the recorded irradiance distributions. Since the speckles will be...other 2019

Large‐area spatial atomic layer deposition of amorphous oxide semiconductors at atmospheric pressureKatsouras, I. (author), Frijters, C. (author), Poodt, P. (author), Gelinck, G. (author), Kronemeijer, A.J. (author)Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is deposited using plasma‐enhanced spatial atomic layer deposition (sALD) on substrates as large as 32 × 35 cm2. Excellent uniformity and thickness control leads to high‐performing and stable coplanar top‐gate self‐aligned (SA) thin‐film transistors (TFTs). The integration of a sALD‐deposited aluminum oxide...article 2019
