More info about sputtering: process parameters, chamber construction

I describe a few more details about the sputter process that I have used to make ITO coatings.

Intro to plasma cleaning

I describe how to use plasma to create very clean surfaces on microscope slides. This process is used extensively in the semiconductor industry.

DIY Custom LCD

I've finished my first custom DIY LCD, and describe the process in this video.

Building a liquid crystal display (LCD)

I've been exploring technology made possible by having clear, patterned electrodes on glass, and succeeded in making a working (barely) LCD. In this video, I explain types of liquid crystal molecules, and how they can be used to make an efficient display.
