Muller and his student Roger Howe created the process of surface micromachining using polysilicon ( poly ) as a structural material, and silicon oxide as a sacrificial layer.
32.
Because of the high insulation value of the silicon oxide surrounding the gate, the stored charge cannot readily leak away and the data can be retained for decades.
33.
This allowed the use of a series of exposures on a substrate ( Silicon ) to create silicon oxide ( insulators ) or doped regions ( conductors ).
34.
The process has features such as strained silicon transistors and Low-K carbon-doped silicon oxide ( CDO ) dielectric, which is also known as organosilicate glass ( OSG ).
35.
The crystals of BGO and similar compounds BSO ( Bi 12 SiO 20, bismuth silicon oxide, sillenite ) and BTO ( Bi 12 TiO 20 ), are photorefractive and photoconductive.
36.
The fact that the metallic silicon signal can be seen " through " the overlayer of oxidized Si indicates that the silicon oxide layer is relatively thin ( 2-3 nm ).
37.
A silicon oxide sensor can be an optical device that changes its refractive index as water is absorbed into the sensitive layer or a different impedance type in which silicon replaces the aluminium.
38.
Microunity is building an ultra-high-speed set-top box for interactive television systems, insulating the long wires that carry current from one side of its chips to the other with air instead of silicon oxide.
39.
However, some studies pointed out that Si nanowire anodes shows significant fade in energy capacity with more charge cycles caused by the volumetric expansion of nanotube with silicon oxide ion-permeating layer as coating.
40.
Despite these physical similarities to carbon, however, the chemistry of silicon shows great differences from that of carbon, with silicon oxides being more important than polysilane compounds, the reverse of the situation for carbon .-->
