rapid thermal processing (rtp) has become a key technology for semiconductor device manufacturing in a variety of applications, such as thermal oxidation, annealing, and thin-film growth. hence, understanding the radiative properties of silicon and other relevant materials is essential for the analysis of the thermal transport processes. we have analyzed and calculated the spectral, directional...

This paper reports a new type of transmitting mode electrochromic device that uses the high-contrast electrochromism of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and operates at long-wavelength infrared (8-12 μm) . To maximize the transmittance contrast and transmittance contrast ratio of the device for thermal camouflage, we control the thickness of the thin PEDOT layer from 25 nm to 400 nm and...

The residual stresses of the thin-walled injection molding are investigated in this study. It was realized that the behavior of residual stresses in injection molding parts was affected by different process conditions such as melt temperature, mold temperature, packing pressure and filling time. The layer removal method was used to measure the residual stresses at a thin-walled test sample by a...

Cu/Sn/Zn stacked layers were electrodeposited and subsequently annealed in a tube furnace in elemental sulfur and selenium at 570oC. Cyclic voltammogram of Sn-salt in ionic liquid was recorded. Thin films were characterized by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The device was characterized by current-v...

Recently, the quality of the oxide-TFT gate insulator is given the utmost consideration strongly affecting device performance. In this study, preliminary experiments were carried out using a multi-component of lanthanum hafnium oxide (LHO) as a gate insulator. First, we investigated the electrical properties of LHO thin films deposited by ECR-ALD. Also, we report the fabrication and characteris...

Five percent of Fe-doped ZnO (ZnO:Fe) thin films were deposited on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by a spin-coating method. The films were annealed without (ZnO:Fe-0T) and with a pulsed magnetic field of 4 T (ZnO:Fe-4TP) to investigate the magnetic annealing effect on the resistance switching (RS) behavior of the Pt/ZnO:Fe/Pt structures. Compared with the ZnO:Fe-0T film, the ZnO:Fe-4TP film showed ...

Infected pancreatic necrosis needs to be drained; nowadays this is mostly done by endoscopic means. As yet, few cases of transgastric endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) have been reported [1–3]. This is the first case to be reported in which a new open-pore film drainage (OFD) device was used. A 70-year-old man became septic because of infected pancreatic necrosis. Initially the cyst was drained w...

We report on conjugated polymer nanoparticles of polyfluorene that were formed to exhibit higher fluorescence quantum efficiency in film (68%) and reduce undesired emission peak wavelength shifts in film (by 20 nm), compared to the solid-state polymer thin film made directly out of the same polymer solution without forming nanoparticles. Using the facile reprecipitation method, solutions of pol...
