May 23-24, Palaiseau, France The European Commission ICT theme is funding since 2007 our large-scale project entitled “NANOPACK - Nano Packaging Technology for Interconnect and Heat Dissipation.” The 14 partners of the project include major industries such as Thales (France), Bosch (Germany), IBM (Zürich Research Laboratories), SMEs and different academic teams throughout … [Read more...]
Hot STM Captures Thermal Decomposition in situ at the Nanoscale
A new report in the journal Nanotechnology offers findings of a nanoscale in situ investigation of ultrathin silicon oxide thermal decomposition by high temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. A surface chemical reaction—the thermal decomposition of ultrathin silicon oxide (~1 nm) by ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) thermal annealing at 600–800 °C—is in situ investigated on a … [Read more...]
