Article Synopsis
  • HiPIMS plus kick is a sophisticated technique for depositing materials like AlN using controlled voltage pulsing to manage ion energy during the process.
  • The study found that applying a 25 V positive kick under specific conditions enhances film quality, resulting in high thermal conductivity and smooth surfaces.
  • A well-oriented 1 μm AlN film was produced, indicating optimal surface diffusion, which leads to better properties without causing damage to the material.

The quality of printable dielectric layer has become one of the major obstacles to achieving high-performance fully printed transistors. A thick dielectric layer will require high gate voltage to switch the transistors on and off, which will cause high power dissipation in printed devices. In response to this challenge, fully printed carbon nanotube (CNT)-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been fabricated on flexible membranes such as polyimide and liquid crystal polymer using aerosol jet printing.

Wilms tumour (WT) is the most common renal tumour in children. Most WT patients respond to chemotherapy, but subsets of tumours develop resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, which is a major obstacle in their successful treatment. Multidrug resistance transporters play a crucial role in the development of resistance in cancer due to the efflux of anticancer agents out of cells.
