Journal ArticleDOI
Low dielectric constant materials for microelectronics
Karen Maex,Mikhail R. Baklanov,Denis Shamiryan,F. lacopi,Sywert Brongersma,Z. S. Yanovitskaya +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of porosity in on-chip wires can be found, with an attempt to give an overview of the classification, the character, and the characteristics of the porosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Universal scaling of the figure of merit of plasmonic sensors
Peter Offermans,M.C. Schaafsma,S. R. K. Rodriguez,Y. Zhang,Mercedes Crego-Calama,Sywert Brongersma,J. Gómez Rivas,J. Gómez Rivas +7 more
TL;DR: This work finds that the sensor FoM scales solely with the frequency difference between the surface lattice resonance and the diffracted order grazing to the surface of the array, which enables the design of plasmonic sensors with a high FoM over broad spectral ranges with unprecedented accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the electron mean free path on the resistivity of thin metal films
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the electron mean free path on resistivity of thin metal films was discussed, and the simulation results obtained by using Fuchs-Sondheimer's and Mayadas-Shatzkes's models indicate that metals with a smaller electron MEF exhibit the size effect for smaller dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of surface and grain-boundary scattering on the resistivity of copper in reduced dimensions
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of surface and grain-boundary scattering on the total electrical resistivity of copper wires with sizes down to 95×130nm2 in a temperature range of 4.2 to 293 K was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultralow-power hydrogen sensing with single palladium nanowires
Peter Offermans,Hien D. Tong,C.J.M. van Rijn,Patrick Merken,Sywert Brongersma,Mercedes Crego-Calama +5 more
TL;DR: Palladium nanowires were fabricated on silicon substrates using conventional microfabrication techniques as mentioned in this paper, and the response times can be reduced by increasing the applied bias due to resistive heating.
