National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s Post

Plasma reactors are critical for manufacturing the semiconductor chips in today’s electronics and the technologies of tomorrow. But there’s some guesswork related to exactly what happens chemically when plasma interacts with a semiconductor wafer. The small knowledge gap is too large for NIST’s liking. That’s why we have the plasma reactor system shown here. Our researchers are making measurements of the chemistry as it happens, observing the way molecules are changing. #Semiconductor #Electronics #PlasmaReactor
