Nanophase Tech and Rodel Form Partnership

Jul 3 2002

Nanophase technologies (NT) and Rodel have formed a strategic partnership and agreed on a long term exclusive supply arrangement. Together they will combine NT’s nanoparticle technology with Rodels patented chemistry to develop and market a new range of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurries for the semiconductor industry.

CMP is the process for removing uneven surfaces from the surface of a wafer to create a flat substrate. It employs chemical material removal made possible by a fluid, combined with a mechanical effect, using inorganic abrasive particles. The process enables more accurate photolithography and is critical in the production of increasingly smaller semiconductors.

NT’s technology is a key to producing improved CMP materials as they are able to produce materials with a very narrow particle size distribution.

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
