Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy merges infrared (IR) spectroscopy with visualization. As IR spectroscopy offers high specificity for molecular structure and chemical composition, ...

These developments continue to fuel growing investment into the technology and manufacture of semiconductor devices at both industrial and academic research levels. Improvements in technology, ...

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is an established nanoscale imaging technique, offering a topographic map of a surface sample high spatial resolution. The main drawback, until recently, of using AFM has ...

This article introduces the differences and similarities between Raman and infrared spectroscopy for identifying unknown materials and monitoring reactions. While the techniques are pretty similar, ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...

For the successful hybrid bonding of Cu-Cu to occur in highly demanding, sophisticated packaging, the two mating dielectric surfaces, often silicon oxides, must bond effectively at low temperatures.
