Anisotropic Etching of Heavily Doped Polysilicon by a Hot Cl2 Molecular Beam
Anisotropic etching of n+ poly-Si is achieved using a hot Cl2 molecular beam and a sidewall protection technique. A hot molecular beam is produced by a free jet expansion of a gas heated in a furnace. A nitrogen ...

Observation of the intrinsic pinning of a magnetic domain wall in a ferromagnetic nanowire
Magnetic domain walls can be controlled through a spin torque, which is usually influenced by extrinsic factors, such as defects, that pin the domain walls to specific configurations. It is now shown that intr...
