Summary
| Description |
English: This is the catastrophic result of passing too much charge through a nanoscale electrical contact. The huge amount of heat generated has blown a hole in the gold contact pad, melting the metal which has solidified as droplets in this "splash effect" revealing the silicon dioxide and pure silicon substrate underneath. This scanning electron micrograph was taken on the Zeiss Supra Scanning Electron Microscope in the Advanced Microscopy Lab in Trinity College Dublin |
