Nanometerdicker
Nanometerdicker is a term encountered in discussions of nanoscale film fabrication to denote a discrete thickness increment at the nanometer scale. In this usage, one nanometerdicker corresponds to a thickness of one nanometer, although the term is not part of formal metrology and has no official worldwide standard. It is primarily a descriptive shorthand used to discuss precise control of layer thickness during deposition, etching, or planarization processes.
The term appears in technical writings and informal presentations, especially in Dutch-speaking contexts, where “dikker” relates
Thickness measured in nanometerdickers is usually inferred from indirect techniques such as spectroscopic ellipsometry, X-ray reflectivity,
Applications include semiconductor devices, optical coatings, and energy materials, where small thickness changes can produce significant
There is no formal standard for nanometerdicker. If adopted for practical use, a precise definition would require
Related concepts include nanometer-scale thickness, thin films, film thickness, and ellipsometry.
