Today's manufacturing environment is characterized by competition and
continuous change in product and process requirements. The concept of
"design for manufacturability" integrates product specifications with
manufacturing capabilities by considering the design and manufacturing
phases as an integrated system, evaluating the combined system during
the design phase of a product ,...
A low pressure halide transport chemical vapor deposition (HTCVD) system to grow ZnS:Mn electroluminescent phosphors is characterized. Reactor parameters such as gas composition, gas flow rate, and source and substrate temperature are investigated. Crystal structure is investigated using x-ray diffraction, electron spin resonance, and transmission electron microscopy. Chemical characterization includes...
