Industrial Applications
In industry, GCIB has been used for the manufacture of semiconductor devices, optical thin films, trimming SAW and FBAR filter devices, fixed disk memory systems and for other uses. GCIB smoothing of high voltage electrodes has been shown to reduce field electron emission, and GCIB treated RF cavities are being studied for use in future high energy particle accelerators. A related technique, with a limited range of applications, using of high-velocity carbon Fullerenes to treat surfaces, has been studied.

Famous quotes containing the word industrial:
“I believe in human liberty as I believe in the wine of life. There is no salvation for men in the pitiful condescension of industrial masters. Guardians have no place in a land of freemen.”
