UV Activation
نویسنده
چکیده
Enhanced hydrophobic bond-strength can be achieved by exposing prime grade silicon wafers to ultraviolet (UV) light and heat prior to bonding. The following independent variables were explored: platen temperature, UV exposure time, oxygen containing versus non-oxygen containing (nitrogen only) bonding atmosphere, and annealing temperature. The results suggest exposure to UV can be used as an activation process which removes the passivation of the silicon surface rendering the silicon highly reactive. Exposure of silicon wafers to UV appears to be a promising low-temperature surface activation method.

Background and Objectives: Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a promising method for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Photocatalytic oxidation process, despite its advantages, has disadvantages such as deactivation of photocatalyst. The deactivated photocatalyst can be active through thermal abatement, ozonation, exposure with clean air and UV radiation. Materials and M...
متن کاملUltraviolet radiation-induced apoptosis is mediated by Daxx.
UV irradiation and other stress-activated signals activate the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK, SAPK) pathway. The induction of JNK activity results in the activation of proto-oncogene c-Jun and activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcriptional activity. Data presented here show that UV mediated the activation of JNK correlated with UV-induced apoptosis and that overexpression of a dominant negative JNK bl...
متن کاملCurcumin inhibits UV irradiation-induced oxidative stress and apoptotic biochemical changes in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells.
Ultraviolet (UV) light is a strong apoptotic trigger that induces caspase-dependent biochemical changes in cells. Previously we showed that UV irradiation can activate caspase-3, and the subsequent cleavage and activation of p21(Cdc42/Rac)-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells. In this study we demonstrate that curcumin (Cur), the yellow pigment of Curcuma longa wit...
متن کاملUV induces tyrosine kinase-independent internalisation and endosome arrest of the EGF receptor.
We have compared the activation and trafficking of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) induced by UV light and EGF. Tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR was not detected in UV-exposed cells by immunoblotting of whole cell lysates or EGFR immunoprecipitates with antibodies specific for each of the five activated autophosphorylation sites of EGFR. In addition, EGFR of UV-irradiated cells did not ...
متن کاملRestoration of UV sensitivity in UV-resistant HeLa cells by antisense-mediated depletion of damaged DNA-binding protein 2 (DDB2).
Damaged DNA-binding activity comprises two major protein components, DDB1 and DDB2, which are implicated in the repair of ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced DNA damage. The possible role of DDB2 as a determinant of cellular sensitivity to UV was investigated. The abundance of DDB2 in UV-resistant HeLa cell lines was increased compared with that in the parental UV-sensitive cells. Stable transfe...
متن کاملInvolvement of Fas receptor and not tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor in ultraviolet-induced activation of acid sphingomyelinase.
Fas receptor and tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1) mediate the activation of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide. Ceramide acts as a second messenger in mediating cell growth, differentiation, stress response, and apoptosis. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induces Fas receptor and TNFR1 aggregation. However, the roles of Fas receptor a...
