Researchers carefully positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful ...

The cold cathode field emission (FE) tip can become contaminated by gas particles in the system, deteriorating the quality of the electron beam. Therefore, the tip is "flashed", or quickly heated to a ...

These e-beam lithography experiments follow on from [Zach]’s earlier research using lasers. Homebrew IC expert Sam Zeloof has also used electron beams in his work. Thanks for the tip ...

A team of physicists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in Menlo Park, California, generated the highest-current, highest-peak-power electron beams ever produced. The team has published ...

A beam of electrons is produced at the top of the microscope by an electron gun. The electron beam follows a vertical path through the microscope, which is held within a vacuum. The beam travels ...

This tip is made of a sharply edged piece of mono-crystalline ... This unique lens focuses the beam onto the sample and helps the condenser lenses narrow the electron beam. The lens on our FE-SEM is a ...

Now the goal is to combine expertise from both realms into a metal 3D printer based on electron-beam melting (EBM). The concept is something of an all-in-one device that combines traits of an ...

At the beginning of an experiment, a beam of electrons may have a rest energy of 1/2 million electron volts; it is directed through a linear "pre-accelerator" (or "injector") where the energy is ...

Delft, The Netherlands / Hsinchu, Taiwan -- Ocotober 13, 2008 -- MAPPER Lithography and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) signed an agreement, according to which MAPPER will ship its ...

A groundbreaking electron beam with record power and current has been generated by SLAC physicists, opening new research possibilities.
