| Abstract | New technologies are needed for the U.S. to maintain leadership in the development and manufacture of next generation computer chips. A critical step in the manufacture of computer chips is the deposition of electronic materials, layer by layer, onto a surface, in precise patterns to create a circuit. A particularly precise method is called atomic layer processing, which can deposit a single layer of atoms onto a surface (atomic layer deposition), or remove a single layer of atoms from a surface |
