متن کاملThe relationship between microsystem technology and metrology
Microsystem technology (MST) has enabled silicon sensors to evolve from simple transduction elements to microsystems (micro-instruments) that include readout circuits, self-test, and auto-zeroing facilities. This paper discusses the impact of MST in the instrumentation and measurement (I&M) field. In metrology, in particular, the development of electrical reference standards by using microtechn...
متن کاملFabrication of Highly Ordered Gold Nanorods Film Using Alumina Nanopores
A simple method for fabrication of highly ordered gold nanorod film is introduced in this article. The procedure is based on thermal evaporation of gold into a porous anodic alumina film (PAA). The PPA film was fabricated by combining the hard and mild anodization. This combination effectively decreases the processing time of fabrication of highly ordered porous anodic alumina film with c...
متن کاملAutomatic determination of the Thin-Film Multijunction Thermal Voltage Converter parameters
The Thin Film Multijunction Thermal Converter (TFMJTC) has become the most sensitive and precise transfer standard for the accurate measurement of the ac quantities. Therefore, its parameters are determined at the National Institute of Standards (NIS), Egypt, to obtain its best operating conditions. These parameters are short-term stability, settling time, dc response time, n-factor, input/outp...
