Enhanced thermoelectricity at the ultra-thin film limit

The \ Linear " Limit of Thin Film Flowsas

Integrated ultra-thin-film gas sensors

The fabrication and performance of an ultra-thin-film integrated gas sensor for detecting impurities in semiconductor process gases are described. Detector responses are based on gas-induced resistance changes in an ultra-thin Ti-P film mounted on a thin dielectric window supported by a silicon rim. The window temperature can be shifted several hundred degrees Celsius in less than one second. G...

Thin-film Γ-limit of the Micromagnetic Free Energy

The asymptotic behavior of the micromagnetic free energy governing a ferromagnetic film is studied as its thickness gets smaller and smaller compared to its cross section. Here the static Maxwell equations are treated as a Murat’s constant rank PDE constraint on the energy functional. In contrast to previous work this approach allows to keep track of the induced magnetic field without solving t...

Enhanced bias stress stability of a-InGaZnO thin film transistors by inserting an ultra- thin interfacial InGaZnO:N layer

Ultra-thin Graphitic Film: Synthesis and Physical Properties

A scalable technique of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of ultra-thin graphitic film is proposed. Ultra-thin graphitic films grown by a one-step CVD process on catalytic copper substrate have higher crystallinity than pyrolytic carbon grown on a non-catalytic surface and appear to be more robust than a graphene monolayer. The obtained graphitic material, not thicker than 8 nm, survives d...
