angstrom (Å)
Semiconductors; Silicon wafer
Unit of length commonly used in semiconductor industry, though it is not recognized as a standard international unit; 1 Å = 10-8cm = 10-4 micrometer = 0. 1 nm; the dimensions of a typical ...
amorphous Si (a-Si)
Semiconductors; Silicon wafer
Non-crystalline thin-film silicon having no long-range crystallography order; inferior electrical characteristics as compared to single-crystal and poly Si but cheaper and easier to manufacture; used ...
adhesion layer
Semiconductors; Silicon wafer
Material used to improve adhesion of materials, typically photo resist to the substrate in a photo lithographic processes. Some metals are also used to promote adhesion of subsequent layers.
