Bell Labs Researchers Invent Technique for Imaging Single Impurity Atoms w/in Si
MURRAY HILL, NJ -- Scientists at Bell Labs, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies (NYSE:LU), have found a way to peer deep inside a semiconductor and create an image of a single impurity atom in silicon. The feat -- the first time that an individual impurity has been pictured in its undisturbed state within a crystal -- was achieved using a special electron microscope, and is as difficult as seeing a footprint on the moon from the Earth.
