New data on the competitive nanotechnologies for fabrication of fine-grained powder-like particles, films, bulk materials, nanocomposites, devices for microelectronics, nanoelectronics, photonics and photocatalysis are presented. The proposed nanotechnologies for electronics are much more advantageous and simpler than other expensive and complicated methods such as e-beam lithography, X-ray lithography or production of the devices using light phase shift photomasks. The mechanism of sensitization and activation was established. The proposed methods of metallization are widely used in electronics and instrument-making. As a result, Au, Ag and Pd were adequately replaced with the alloys of non-precious metals, the use of toxic substances was eliminated and the technology was significantly simplified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
