We study the formation and evolution of coherent islands on lattice mismatched epitaxially strained films. Faceted islands form in films with aniostropic surface tension. Under annealing, these islands ripen until a stable array is formed, with an island density which increases with film thickness. Under deposition, a…

Ab-initio correlation results for an idealized high Tc-compound are compared to density functional (DF) calculations for the same system. It is shown that and why the DF-charge distribution is wrong. The largest deficiency arises for the Cu-d(x2-y2)-occupation, originating from strong atomic correlations but mostly fr…

We report the synthesis and characterization of nanowire−nanoribbon junction arrays of ZnO, which were grown by thermal evaporation of the mixture of ZnO and SnO 2 powders at 1300 °C through a vapor−liquid−solid process. The Sn particles produced by the reduction of SnO 2 act as the catalyst; the structure is formed d…

KMgF/sub 3/ crystals doped with Ce/sup 3+/ have been investigated as a new material for dosimetry of ionizing radiation. Earlier researches have shown their thermoluminescence (TL) properties. The present work shows that this compound can also be read out by optical stimulation with powerful blue or yellow-green light…

The porous silicon (PS) layers on the front surface of n/sup +//p monocrystalline, textured silicon solar cells were investigated with the aim to improve the performance of standard screen-printed silicon solar cells. The application of the PS layer is very promising because simultaneous, antireflection coating and su…

Reactive templated grain growth (RTGG) was used to obtain [001] fiber-textured (1-x)Pb(Mg/sub 1/3/Nb/sub 2/3/)O/sub 3/-(x)PbTiO/sub 3/ (x=0.3-0.35). The RTGG process involved the use of-oriented BaTiO/sub 3/ and SrTiO/sub 3/ template particles in a fine grained precursor PMN-32PT matrix during tape casting. A high deg…

A new environmentally friendly, self-extinguishing epoxy-resin compound with no flame-retardants (such as halogen derivatives) has been developed for integrated circuit (IC) packaging. This compound mainly consists of phenol-aralkyl-type epoxy resin and hardener both of which contain a multi-aromatic substituent, fuse…

The application of megasonic energy for particle removal has been shown to be a very effective, noncontact cleaning method. Equally as important to the cleaning of the wafer surface is the drying process. A very common method is a high speed spin dry but this is ineffective both from a particle reduction and water-mar…

We introduce several methods for symmetry detection and present results of their experimental evaluation on diatom images. The methods are based on distance lists, cyclic string matching, and gray level gradient direction histograms. From the experimental results it can be concluded that symmetry information is useful…

In this paper, we present data from three wafer level electromigration test techniques, isothermal, constant current, and standard wafer level electromigration accelerated test (SWEAT), and compare various aspects of the data. The isothermal method keeps the test line at a constant temperature by monitoring line resis…

The Standard Wafer Level Electromigration Accelerated Test (SWEAT) is one of a few highly accelerated stress tests of metal-line test structures that are used to monitor electromigration resistance. Earlier works and our own examinations have shown that when the JEDEC standard SWEAT method is used, unexpectedly large…
