Cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) is now established as a popular choice of sensor for the detection of γ -rays and hard x-rays, leading to its adoption in security, medical and scientific applications. There are still many technical challenges involving the deposition of high-quality, uniform metal contacts on CdZnTe. A detailed understanding of the interface between the bulk CdZnTe and the meta...

As the second part to a paper presented at the 2004 SMTA Pan Pacific Symposium, this paper further summarizes the results from technical qualification of the Ni/Pd/Au process. Whereas the previous paper examined the wire bonding capabilities of this surface finish, this second paper focuses specific attention to BGA applications. In these investigations, the solder joint integrity is measured u...

In the last decade, nanostructuration is a demanding research topic due to observation of interesting properties and, in consequence, applications on these nanostructures. This review collects synthesis and possible ZnO nanowires grown by electrodeposition electroless methods. Respect nanowires, growth mechanism parameters are analysed depending technique used, or electroless. The using templat...

long-term use of indwelling medical catheters has often been hindered by catheter-associated nosocomial infections. in this study the effectiveness of silver coating of polystyrene and polyethylene polymers was investigated. polymer pieces of 2 cm2 each were coated with a thin layer of silver using electroless plating technique. silver-coated polymers were challenged with cultures of four diffe...

Site-selective deposition of aerosol Pd nanoparticles on a substrate was employed to fabricate nanoscale Ag dots and rings through a subsequent electroless deposition. The fabricated nanoscale dot and ring arrays respectively showed properties in surface-enhanced Raman (SER, with a 1.8 × 10(5) enhancement factor) and Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR, at 6153 cm(-1) absorption band) spectra.

nicu alloy nanowires arrays were embedded into the anodic aluminum oxide (aao) template by ac-pulse electrodeposition. different off-time were used in electrolyte with constant concentration of ni and cu and acidity of 3. the effect of deposition parameters on alloy contents was investigated by studying the microstructure and magnetic properties of as-deposited nicu alloy nanowires. atomic forc...
