Midsummer has developed a high speed process for manufacturing of CIGS solar cells utilising sputtering of all layers in the solar cell structure. Midsummer recently achieved a 15 per cent active area ...

A small team of planetary scientists, astrophysicists and space flight researchers affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in France has made the first direct detection of atmospheric ...

A one-step plasma sputtering method for fabricating silicon/tin nanowire anodes could open doors to next-generation lithium-ion batteries Many countries have set decarbonization targets to meet the ...

Modifying surfaces by shooting particles at them - this technique, called 'sputtering', is indispensable in surface science. However, if the surface is not perfectly smooth and regular, it is hard to ...

Sputtering Technique Sputtering is a process wherein a controlled gas, typically chemically inert argon, is introduced into a vacuum chamber and then a cathode is electrically energized to generate a ...

This video shows SemicoreEquipment's sputtering manufacturing process. This process starts when a substrate to be coated is placed in a vacuum chamber containing an inert gas. The negative charge is ...

PVD is the most important coating process to produce thin layers of materials. Used for architectural or smart glass, displays, touch panels and solar cells, thin layers provide crucial properties for ...

A research team from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has demonstrated an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method within a lower temperature process to apply a buffering layer of tin oxide (SnOx ...

If you want to remove a layer of paint from a metal surface, you can use a sandblaster: Countless grains of sand are blasted onto the surface, and what emerges is clean metal. “Sputtering” can be ...
