Glancing Angle Deposition of Thin Films

Engineering the Nanoscale

Beschreibung

This book provides a highlypractical treatment of Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD), a thinfilm fabrication technology optimized to produce precisenanostructures from a wide range of materials. GLAD providesan elegant method for fabricating arrays of nanoscale helices,chevrons, columns, and other porous thin film architectures usingphysical vapour deposition processes such as sputtering orevaporation. The book gathers existing procedures,methodologies, and experimental designs into a single, cohesivevolume which will be useful both as a ready reference for those inthe field and as a definitive guide for those entering it. Itcovers:
Development and description of GLAD techniques fornanostructuring thin films
Properties and characterization of nanohelices, nanoposts, andother porous films
Design and engineering of optical GLAD films includingfabrication and testing, and chiral films
Post-deposition processing and integration to optimize filmbehaviour and structure
Deposition systems and requirements for GLAD fabrication
A patent survey, extensiverelevant literature, and a survey of GLAD's wide range ofmaterial properties and diverse applications.

Autor

Dr Matthew M. Hawkeye is a postdoc at University of Alberta who earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering working with the Brett group on GLAD technology and who has worked on the GLAD technique since 2004. From 2010-2012, he worked as a postdoc at the University of Cambridge, during which time he authored numerous articles on nanoscale photonics and contributed to a BBC Horizon series special on synthetic biology. His publications include a review article in Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A on the GLAD technique which has more than 200 citations to date. Dr Michael T. Taschuk received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Alberta in 2006 for his work developing the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy technique. He has been working as a research associate at Alberta on GLAD since 2007, studying optical and sensor applications of GLAD thin films. He has published 33 peer-reviewed papers on the GLAD technique, as well as a book chapter covering GLAD theory and applications. Dr Michael J. Brett is Canada Research Chair at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta, where he has taught since 1986. He also holds an appointment as Program Coordinator (Energy) at the National Institute for Nanotechnology. After commercialization success and worldwide sales of his microelectronics simulation software SIMBAD, his group developed and popularized the GLAD process in 1994, and their research has focused on this technique since that time, leading to over 190 journal papers and 5 patents that deal with GLAD and its applications.  He is also the author of 4 book chapters and the acknowledged field leader in GLAD research.
