Currently, consumer electronics, flexible and portable electronic products are the most popular because of further miniaturization accompanying more functionality per device and low costs. To produce high volume, high-density interconnect substrates, flexible printed circuits (FPCs) will become more and more important. For the fabrication of FPCs, polyimides (Pis) possess many outstanding properties,...
In this study, we are focusing on the detailed control of the size and density of nanoparticles on the substrate by employing the gas-phase catalyst. To fabricate iron (Fe) nanoparticles as catalyst, Fe(CO)5 gas was used. Size and density of the nanoparticles can be controlled by varying the experimental parameters, such as the molar flow rate, the decomposition temperature and the flow time. Quartz...
Heat transfer in thin films treats phonons as particles in the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). However, phonons only allow slow thermal response. Rapid film heat transfer is possible provided films are allowed to promptly emit non-thermal electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Quantum mechanics (QM) used in the response of nanoparticles (NPs) is extended to thin films through the theory of QED induced...
Interest in the growth of carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition technique using transition 3d metals as catalyst support is still a subject of intense research. In this paper, we report the morphological and magnetic properties of Co films with varying thickness prior to and post de-wetting that enabled the formation of island-like structures. Interestingly enough, we found different magnetic...
We report on a novel method based on a plasma pre-treatment for controlled nanostructuration and patterning of iron catalyst particles from a continuous film in view of carbon nanotube growth. The effects of the hydrogen plasma conditions on the diameter and the density of the catalyst nanoparticles was studied and discussed. We were then able to propose a comprehensive mechanism for the metallic...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) films were synthesized at low pressure using nickel as catalyst by thermal chemical vapor deposition with hydrogen-acetylene mixture. The Raman characteristics and morphological features of CNTs at different substrate temperatures were investigated. The variation of CNTs morphological feature mainly depends on the substrate temperatures. In the low temperature range (450-550degC),...
Well aligned Si nanowires (SiNWs) by Vapor-Liquid-Solid growth process are presented. Instead of using H2, the current work uses N2 as carrier gas. The growth conditions of SiNWs are controlled by the ratio of nitrogen versus silane gas. Tapering of nanowires was found at T=620degC and P=333 m torr, and the tapering parameter was reduced by increasing the N2 gas. Tapering of nanowires is attributed...
