🌟 Unlock the Potential of Nanoscale Thin Films and Coatings 🌟 In the realm of thin films and coatings, just a few nanometers can make all the difference in properties such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, hardness, and optical qualities. As these layers become increasingly thin, accurately evaluating them becomes more challenging. This is precisely where the unmatched spatial and force resolution of our MEMS-based nanoindenters can make the difference between clear measurements and noise. Our FemtoTools nanoindenters offer advanced nanoindentation technologies for comprehensive evaluations of coatings and thin films. These include Shallow Indentation for precise indentations down to just a few nanometers, Continuous Stiffness Measurement (CSM) which dynamically assesses hardness and stiffness as the indenter penetrates the material with picometer resolution, and Scratch Testing which involves dragging a diamond tip across the surface under progressively increasing load to detect delamination and assess adhesion. With no layer too thin to evaluate, our technology ensures that your advancements in thin films and coatings are backed by the most precise and reliable measurements available. 👥 Join us next week at the 50th International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF 2024) in San Diego, California. Stop by our booth to chat with our nanoindentation experts about your specific applications. 📖 Can't make it? No problem!

Lab scale photolithography in a nutshell. Photolithography lies at the heart of modern electronics manufacturing. Essentially, it’s the method used to transfer patterns onto a substrate, typically silicon, to create intricate circuit designs found in microchips. The process begins by coating the silicon wafer with a light-sensitive material called photoresist. A mask with the desired pattern is then aligned above the wafer, and ultraviolet (UV) light is shined through it. The UV light interacts with the photoresist, altering its chemical structure. Depending on the type of photoresist used (positive or negative), the exposed or unexposed areas are then developed, leaving behind a precise pattern that can be etched into the substrate. The invention of photolithography is credited to Jean Hoerni, one of the founders of Fairchild Semiconductor and a member of the "Traitorous Eight." In 1959, he developed the planar process, a method that revolutionized the production of semiconductor devices by enabling the mass production of integrated circuits. This breakthrough paved the way for the rapid advancement of electronics, laying the foundation for the microchips that power today’s digital world.

We love to highlight technology breakthroughs related to magnetic fields from time to time.....here's an article that was recently published. The semiconductor industry faces many challenges in its pursuit to find their "best friend", a defect or exception in a semiconductor material. These defects can be measured down to the nanometer level and can contain electrons with a detectable and measurable angular momentum or ‘spin’ that is capable of applications including storing and processing information – features that could enable their application within quantum sensors. Toward this end, a group from Cornell University recently reported the exploration of sub-micron defects in gallium nitride (GaN). Significantly, the group was able to demonstrate that magnetic resonance of single spins were controllable at room temperature within GaN defects.
