In this work, Li-doped ZnO nanostructures of varying Li-cocnentration were produced via a two-step hydrothermal growth synthesis and an in-depth analysis based on with Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) Spectroscopy, and temperature-dependent Photoluminescence (PL) was carried out in an effort to gain insights into the Li-incorporation mechanisms. The findings indicated a strong interplay between the native defects responsible for the inherent n-type character of the material and Li incorporation.

For establishing flexible arrays of strain sensors in Wheatstone bridge configurations structures on different levels within flexible films have to be connected by robust μ-via technology. Usually, dry etching is used to establish via-holes and direct current (DC) electrodeposition is used to fill them with copper. However, dry etching can lead to damages in the underlying electrode or incomplete removal of polymeric material, as inhomogeneities of polymeric foil thicknesses cannot completely be eliminated. This affects the quality of the plating and the reliability of the μ-via connections. It is aggravated by the fact that DC electroplated copper is often weakened by various defects, such as small voids. This article describes a reliable and less complex fabrication process for a Wheatstone bridge sandwich structure consisting of five polymer interlayers separating four metal layers. The femtosecond-laser μ-via drilling proved to be fast, material selective and therefore tolerant to inhomogeneities of polymeric foil thicknesses. Moreover, pulsed current (PC) electrodeposition significantly improved the quality of the copper filling. No voids were found using electron microscopy. Finally, the respiration monitoring sensors produced using this method were subjected to repetitive cycles of bending and relaxation. At a frequency of five cycles per second, reproducible cycles of signal changes were obtained, indicating the usefulness for detecting respiratory cycles of premature infants.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37111,"journal":{"name":"Micro and Nano Engineering","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590007224000157/pdfft?md5=36f574491110d65f5414a3f6e29f78e9&pid=1-s2.0-S2590007224000157-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140638400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Characterized by their unique resistive switching behavior, these memories are well-suited for a variety of applications, ranging from high-density data storage to neuromorphic computing [2]. Their potential is further enhanced by their compatibility with advanced semiconductor processes, enabling seamless integration into modern electronic circuits [3]. A particularly promising avenue for resistive memory lies in its integration at the Back-End-of-Line (BEOL) stage of semiconductor manufacturing [4]. BEOL integration involves processes that occur after the fabrication of the transistors, primarily focusing on creating interconnections that electrically link these transistors. Integrating resistive memories at this stage can lead to compact, efficient, and high-performance architectures, pivotal for in-memory computing applications where data storage and processing are co-located [5]. This paper studies three ways to integrate TiO<sub><em>x</em></sub>-based resistive memory into passive crossbar array structures, using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processes, focusing on identifying the optimal integration techniques.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37111,"journal":{"name":"Micro and Nano Engineering","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590007224000145/pdfft?md5=636ca20e86a04bf9828411b55d748881&pid=1-s2.0-S2590007224000145-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140558500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
