Abstract Developing Ohmic contact systems or achieving low resistance is significant for high‐performance semiconductor devices. This work comprehensively investigates the interfacial properties of CrX 2 N 4 (X = C, Si) based field‐effect transistors (FETs) with different metal (Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, Pd, Pt, Ti, and graphene) electrodes by using electronic structure calculations quantum transport sim...

This study assessed the osseointegrative effects of atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) surface treatment for implants in a canine model. Control surfaces were untreated textured titanium (Ti) and calcium phosphate (CaP). Experimental surfaces were their 80-second air-based APP-treated counterparts. Physicochemical characterization was performed to assess topography, surface energy, and chemical ...

The response of soft body impact on a Ni-Ti shape memory alloy with conical model is investigated by using the nonlinear finite element analysis method for obtaining Kinetic Energy, Internal Energy and contact force plot by considering idealized bird model with constant velocity.

The integration of Cu interconnections will require sophisticated structures to prevent Cu from coming into contact with devices. The barriers for Cu also must have good adhesion with dielectric and Cu, and yield desirable microstructure of Cu. This paper discusses several critical barrier requirements and compares the properties of Ta and Ti/TiN barrier systems.

High-quality ZnO nanobelts were synthesized through introducing an unsteady state in the vapour transport process and their applications in novel Schottky solar cells were demonstrated by contact-printing the ZnO nanobelt network onto a pre-patterned Pt electrode followed by the deposition of a Ti/Au electrode.

Pure carbon(C), nitrogen(N) and titanium(Ti) doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings were deposited on silicon (Si) micro-molds by dc magnetron sputtering deposition to improve the tribological performance of the micro-molds. The coated and uncoated Si molds were used in injection molding for the fabrication of secondary metal-molds, which were used for the replication of micro-fluidic devices...

In this article, we study the properties of metal contacts to single-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystals, revealing the nature of switching mechanism in MoS2 transistors. On investigating transistor behavior as contact length changes, we find that the contact resistivity for metal/MoS2 junctions is defined by contact area instead of contact width. The minimum gate dependent transfer leng...

We developed a hierarchical hybrid micro/nanorough strontium-loaded Ti (MNT-Sr) surface fabricated through hydrofluoric acid etching followed by magnetron sputtering and evaluated the effects of this surface on osseointegration. Samples with a smooth Ti (ST) surface, micro Ti (MT) surface treated with hydrofluoric acid etching, and strontium-loaded nano Ti (NT-Sr) surface treated with SrTiO3 ta...
