Produktbeschreibung

This volume covers the topic of advanced plasma processing techniques, from the fundamental physics of plasmas to diagnostics, modeling and applications such as etching and deposition for microelectronics. The use of plasmas for patterning on a submicron scale has enabled successive generations of continually smaller transistors, lasers, micromachines, sensors and magnetic read/write heads that have formed the basis of our information age. This volume is the first to give coverage to this broad area of topics in a detailed fashion, especially in the rapidly expanding fields of micro-mechanical machines, photomask fabrication, magnetic data storage and reactor modeling. It provides the reader with a broad array of topics, authored by the leading experts in the field.

Autorenporträt

The ability to make small features in Si, metals, dielectrics and other materials is what has enabled rapid advances in computing, communications, aeronautics and all other technologies that depend on microelectronics, miniature sensors and actuators and magnetic data storage. Plasma techniques enable the fine control and accurate pattern transfer and thus are central to our technology age.
