Ytterbium Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Ytterbium oxide is the chemical compound with the chemical formula of Yb2O3. Ytterbium Oxide is one of the more commonly encountered compounds of ytterbium.
One of the application of Ytterbium Oxide (Yb2O3) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.99%) is deposition on silicon materials. As all we may know the enormous growth and the significant progress of information technology in the modern world are based to a very large extent on the SiO2 /Si interface properties. The industry’s demand for greater integrated circuit functionality and performance at lower cost requires an increased circuit density, which is translated into a higher density of transistors on a wafer. Currently, this need is satisfied by introducing advanced materials in the gate of the transistors. By employing nitride/oxynitride gate stacks, functional complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor transistors with physical gate thicknesses ,4 nm have been demonstrated.
Unfortunately, although silicon microelectronic devices will be manufactured with SiO2 and Si–O–N for the foreseeable future, continued scaling of integrated circuit devices will necessitate the introduction of an alternate gate dielectric once the SiO2 gate dielectric thickness approaches 1.5 nm. Indeed, the extremely small physical thickness typically required for the gate dielectric results in large leakage current, which is expected to increase power consumption.
Yttrium oxide sputtering targets can be deposited on silicon by rf-magnetron sputtering, electron-beam evaporation, laser ablation and ion beam sputtering, as well as by means of epitaxy has been proposed as a candidate oxide to replace SiO2.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...
