“…[1][2][3] Besides vacuum-based deposition techniques NZF films have been deposited by various solution-based techniques such as spin-spray plating, spray pyrolysis, spin coating, sol-gel, and hydrothermal, and used in applications ranging from radio-frequency inductors to electromagnetic noise suppressors. [4][5][6][7][8] Recently, we have developed a CMOS-compatible, low temperature Microwave-Assisted Solvothermal Deposition (MAS-D) process for various spinel ferrites and demonstrated its capability to yield smooth, uniform films with desired crystallite size. [9][10][11] For example, a soft magnetic NZF thin film was successfully synthesized using ethanol:1-decanol as solvent, and its structural and magnetic properties thoroughly characterized.…”
