"A technique developed by scientists at KAUST has made more controlled fabrication of optoelectronic devices produced from a hybrid of organic and inorganic materials possible."
"Ooi and his colleagues from the University's Photonics Laboratory, the Imaging & Characterization Core Lab and the Solar & Photovoltaics Engineering Research Center have demonstrated a technique that can directly pattern perovskites with features smaller than one micrometer with little surface damage."
Using focused-ion beam etching, a grating was created with a trench width of 120 nm separated by 137 nm.
