For an optimal functionality and a high durability of the planned SIS18 beam loss collimators a low ion-induced desorption yield of the collimator material is required. Gold coated copper was found to be the material of choice: copper has a high thermal conductivity, a high specific heat and can be produced with high purity for reasonable prizes. The gold layer prevents the copper from oxidatio...

A representative fabrication processing of SU-8 photoresist, Ultraviolet (UV) lithography is usually composed of spin coat, soft bake, UV exposure, post exposure bake (PEB), development and optional hard bake, etc. The exposed region of SU-8 is crosslinked during the PEB process and its physical properties highly depend on UV exposure and PEB condition. This work was initiated to investigate if...

To reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde emitted from building materials and furnishings, it has been suggested that new buildings undergo a bake-out. According to the existing studies [3, 4], ventilation during a bake-out is believed to be essential for reducing the concentration of indoor air pollutants. For a practical use of bake-out, several ventila...

We used ERPs to investigate the time course of interactions between lexical semantic and sublexical visual word form processing during word recognition. Participants read sentence-embedded pseudowords that orthographically resembled a contextually supported real word (e.g., "She measured the flour so she could bake a ceke…") or did not (e.g., "She measured the flour so she could bake a tont…") ...

A semi-empirical study into the effects of residual casting solvent on the lithographic properties of photoresist is described. Solvent content of a commercial i-line photoresist after post apply bake has been measured using a quartz crystal microbalance and using radio-labeled solvent with scintillation counting. Analysis of this data has led to a calibrated model of solvent diffusivity as a f...

This paper describes a novel approach to improving across-wafer CD uniformity through the litho-etch sequence. Our approach is to compensate for systematic CD perturbations by employing all available control authority though the litho-etch process sequence. In particular, we find that the most effective control input for regulating spatial variations in CD is found in the post exposure bake (PE...

We will address the issue of designing MT systems where the capability to reuse grammars taken off the shelf is maximized, thus restricting the need for application-specific work. Or. to put it in a slightly different way, our proposal is aimed at encouraging the development of pure grammars (i.e. grammars describing languages in the abstract), to be contrasted with those which are extensively ...

Soderberg electrodes feature prominently in the operation of metallurgical electrical furnaces. The electrode material must bake before entering furnace; failure to will lower efficien...

This paper describes the model we designed for the word segmentation bakeoff on Chinese micro-blog data in the 2nd CIPS-SIGHAN joint conference on Chinese language processing. We presented a linear-time incremental model for word segmentation where rich features including character-based features, word-based features as well as other possible features can be easily employed. We report the perfo...
