New Publication in Small

Just in time for the arrival of Spring, a highly productive collaboration with Prof. Julien Bachmann’s group from Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen has blossomed and results in hot off the press publication in Wiley’s Small Journal. Together, we explored a smart precursor solution for highly controllable Additive Layer Atomic Manufacturing (ALAM) of ZnO thin lines with tunable properties. With its thermal stability and controllable reactivity our carthorse precursor Zn(DMP)2 saved the day yet again. In a thorough comparative deposition and materials characterization study led by the Erlangen team, the precursor’s superior performance over the commercial standard DEZ was illustrated. The cornerstone for innovative precursor chemistry application in the emerging ALAM technique is placed and more is yet to follow.
For the time being, you can read about the exciting findings on ZnO ALAM here.
