How Does Reduced Undercutting Impact Nanotechnology Applications?
Achieving reduced undercutting has a direct impact on the development and performance of various nanoscale technologies:
- Improved Device Performance: Precise patterning ensures that the electronic and structural properties of nanostructures are maintained, leading to better-performing devices.
- Higher Integration Density: Reduced undercutting allows for the creation of smaller and more densely packed features, which is critical for advancing Moore's Law and achieving higher integration densities in semiconductor devices.
- Enhanced Reliability: Devices with accurately etched features are less likely to suffer from defects and failures, enhancing their reliability and lifespan.
