Microelectronics

Microelectronics refers to the technology of designing and manufacturing very small electronic devices and circuits, often using semiconductor materials. In the context of plasma physics, it involves the study of how charged particles (ions and electrons) interact in ionized gases (plasmas) to develop new fabrication techniques for microelectronic components. This can enhance the efficiency and performance of devices like transistors and sensors. Understanding plasma behavior helps improve processes like etching or depositing materials at tiny scales, critical for advancing technology in fields such as telecommunications, computing, and more.
