Can you suggest a temperature controller or temperature sensor for liquids/electrolyte solution for a wide pH range?

We are looking for a temperature controller or a temperature sensor/probe which can work for a pH range of 2-12. It would be nice if it can be integrated with a readout (using Arduino or any other...

What difference would be obtained annealing a dielectric layer (aluminium nitride/aluminium oxide) in pure nitrogen in comparison to forming gas?

We have deposited Aluminium nitride over gate oxide (SiO2) in a MOSFET and taken Aluminium contacts. It is generally accepted that fixed oxide charges are reduced on treating the sample with...

Is it possible to selectively etch aluminium without affecting aluminium nitride?

We want to selectively etch aluminum contacts. The underlying layer is aluminium nitride. How can we ensure that it is not etched? Is it possible the other way round?
