Molecular Beam Epitaxy
Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean
Microelectronic devices are made by repeating two steps: 1) Depositing a thin uniform layer of material; 2) Then using a photographic process to pattern and remove unwanted areas of that layer.

Scanning Probe Microscope Piezoelectric Crystals
Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean
In this resource we disassemble the piezoelectric assembly of a scanning probe microscope. At its core is a white cylinder of the piezoelectric material. If you look closely, it has a granular texture that reflects the fact that it is actually made up of many small crystals.
