Ultrsonic testing of bond integrity in adhesive joints between 2 similar metals by Ang, Marcus

“…It is also observed that the screen height amplitude of the 1st B.E varies with the corresponding composition of adhesive applied at the lap-joint. When the adhesive is fully cured and solidified, the 1st B.E amplitude is lower whereas the 1st B.E amplitude is much higher when the adhesive is uncured. …”

Design, fabrication and characterization of integrated electronic devices based on wafer-scale 2D materials by Zhao, Guangchao

“…These properties are crucial to achieve a low static power consumption and high On-Off ratio when applied to fabricate electronic devices. What is more important, when ultra-scaled down into nanometer, MoS2 devices can significantly overcome the short channel effect, which makes it possible to substitute silicon (Si) as the basic material in the integrated circuits industry, thus keeping up with the Moore’s law. …”
