1. Angstrom (Å), unit of length, equal to 10 −10 metre, or 0.1 nanometre

2. The project delivered alpha-version prototypes meeting the semiconductor manufacturing requirements of 32 nanometre half-pitch technology.

3. Overall, thanks to the innovative positioning of the electrodes, the MPA can control centimetre motion with nanometre accuracy.

4. NANOMETRE-SCALE semiconductor quantum Crystallites exhibit size-dependent and discrete excited electronic states which occur at energies higher than the band gap of the corresponding bulk solid 1-4

5. Colloidal silver is a solution of water containing nanometre sized particles of suspended silver. The total silver content is expressed as milligrams of silver per litre of water, or mg/L, which is numerically the same as parts per million (ppm)

6. The method includes the following steps: providing a mixed gas containing gas containing nitrogen element, H2 and Ar at 0.8-1.2atm, in which the amount of gas containing nitrogen element is about 0-20% by volume, the volume ratio of H2 and Ar is 1:0.8-1.2, continuously providing Ti-Al alloy bar containing A1 in amount of 20-60% by atom, pure A1 bar and pure Ti bar, synthesising nanometre powder by HPMR, densifing the nanometre powder through thermal pressing in vaccum at temperature of 800-1200 ° C, pressure of 40-60Mpa and vaccum of 2 X 10-2-5 X 10-3Pa for 4-6h.
