Article Abstract

Sapphire is a kind of ultrahard transparent material with good chemical resistance. These great properties also make sapphire functional device fabrication a big challenge. We propose a novel dual-beam laser induced plasma assisted ablation (LIPAA) for high-quality sapphire microprocessing. One laser beam is focused on a sacrificial target for nano-particle generation by LIPAA to assist the sapphire ablation by the other laser beam. The new technology can reduce the ablation threshold of sapphire and the roughness of the fabricated structures. The laser fluence for particle generation is optimized. Furthermore, we demonstrate a sapphire Dammann grating and an OAM generator fabricated by this method. This method can be expanded to arbitrary transparent material precision machining for various applications.

Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) has been a cornerstone of modern computing, but it faces challenges as technology scales down, particularly due to the mismatch between reduced storage capacitance and increasing OFF current. The capacitorless 2T0C DRAM architecture is recognized for its potential to offer superior area efficiency and reduced refresh rate requirements by eliminating the traditional capacitor. The exploration of two-dimensional (2D) materials further enhances scaling possibilities, though the absence of dangling bonds complicates the deposition of high-quality dielectrics.

Narrow-gap InN is a desirable candidate for near-infrared (NIR) optical communication applications. However, the absence of lattice-matched substrates impedes the fabrication of high-quality InN. In this paper, we employed Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) to grow nanostructured InN with distinct growth mechanisms.

Inorganic halide perovskite thin-film X-ray detectors have attracted great research interest in recent years due to their high sensitivity, low detection limit, and facile fabrication process. The poor crystal quality of the thin film with uncontrollable thickness and low background voltage during detection limits its practical application. Here, a high-quality CsPbBrI ( = 0, 1) columnar crystal film is prepared by an improved melt-confined method with a porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template, which stabilizes the disorder perovskite systems of CsPbBrI by stress.

Composition-adjustable semiconductor nanomaterials have garnered significant attention due to their controllable bandgaps and electronic structures, providing alternative opportunities to regulate photoelectric properties and develop the corresponding multifunction optoelectronic devices. Nevertheless, the large-scale integration of semiconductor nanomaterials into practical devices remains challenging. Here, we report a synthesis strategy for the well-aligned horizontal CdSSe ( = 0-1) nanowall arrays, which are guided grown on an annealed M-plane sapphire using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approaches.
