New Review on precursors in FEBID ProcessesIn this collaboration with Michael Huth, we are trying to bridge the more chemical oriented experiments reported in literature with the actual FEBID process in order to entangle the complex process on the surface. This overview should provide a didactive introduction in the field and some inspiration for the design of new precursors, while being supportive to practitioners in the field. The paper is entitled "Precursors for Direct-Write Nanofabrication with Electrons" and will be published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry C. The review can be downloaded here. |
