Architecture-independent reactivity tuning of Ni/Al multilayers by solid solution alloying by Danzi, S, Schnabel, V, Zhao, X, Käch, J, Spolenak, R

“…Here, we propose a method for the adjustment of reaction kinetics in Ni/Al multilayers via solid solution alloying with elements having different reactivities toward aluminum. Nickel layers were alloyed with copper and platinum, resulting in strong modification of the properties of the heat front, temperature, and propagation velocity, while at the same time leaving the multilayer architecture unaltered. …”

Characterization of the junction leakage of Ti-capped Ni-silicided junctions by Lee, Pooi See, Pey, Kin Leong, Toledo, N. G.

“…The junction leakage characteristics of Ti-capped nickel-silicided diodes are presented. Ti-capped Ni-silicided devices rapid thermal annealed (RTA) at 400 °C exhibit high sheet resistances and suffer from narrow line effect, which leads to the suspicion that the total phase transformation of NiSi has not yet been achieved. …”

Patterned surface with controllable wettability for inkjet printing of flexible printed electronics by Nguyen, Phuong Q. M, Yeo, Lip-Pin, Lok, Boon-Keng, Lam, Yee-Cheong

“…Selective wetting was achieved via a two-step hydrophilic–hydrophobic coating of 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS) and 3M electronic grade chemical respectively on PET surfaces; this was followed by a selective hydrophilic treatment (either atmospheric O2/Ar plasma or UV/ozone surface treatment) with the aid of a Nickel stencil. Hydrophobic regions with water contact angle (WCA) of 105° and superhydrophilic regions with WCA <5° can be achieved on a single surface. …”
