| Sync_ | diginet: hasteloy c is the solution to a lot of problems | 01:26 |
|---|---|---|
| Sync_ | but is quite spendy | 01:26 |
| Sync_ | haha azonenberg that's a bad thing | 01:29 |
| azonenberg | Sync_: finding pics, sec | 02:01 |

| azonenberg | This was the result of attemtping to etch the Ta2O5 film on the wafer | 02:10 |
| azonenberg | note one of the lines in the test pattern is floating off somewhere in the upper left | 02:10 |
| azonenberg | there's bubbles under it | 02:10 |
| azonenberg | Also worrying was that the Ta2O5 was cracking during the etch | 02:10 |
| azonenberg | not sure what was going on there | 02:11 |
| Sync_ | uhh | 02:34 |
| diginet | Hastelloy C is quite amazing | 03:27 |
| diginet | isn't it generally used for things like nuclear power plant turbines? | 03:27 |
| Sync_ | yes | 03:33 |
| Sync_ | or chemical plant reactors | 03:33 |
| Sync_ | it is very annoying to machine | 03:34 |
| Sync_ | then there is zircalloy | 03:35 |
| diginet | zircalloy? I take it it is made of zirconium, nuclear right? (doesn't zirconium make a good electron mirror?) | 03:51 |
| diginet | err | 03:51 |
| diginet | neutron mirror | 03:51 |
| azonenberg | Zr is commonly used as fuel rod cladding, yes | 04:06 |
| diginet | this is kind of unrelated to the subject of homecmos, but you know what would be awesome? holographic lenses, for cameras/etc | 15:25 |
| diginet | you could make, in theory, ultra-high quality optics for a fraction of the price | 15:25 |
