It has been reported previously that three separate processes cause damage when an electric field interacts with a reticle; electrostatic discharge (ESD) and two different types of electric field-induced metal migration (EFM). This paper presents some further data analysis allowing a first-order calibration of the thresholds for these different forms of field induced reticle damage. EFM is show...

A human body is occasionally electrified in a room. This charged object will be a source of electrostatic accidents, including the malfunction of electronic equipment. Hence, prevention of these accidents is required. Accidents occasionally occur, even though antistatic clothes and shoes are used. One of the causes for these accidents is that there is a lack of the preventive measures. This sit...

Mechanical modeling of RF MEMS switches is important for performance optimization and device reliability. 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D linear analytical models have been proposed to analyze the electrostatic pull-in of a fixed-fixed beam at small deflection. However, most RF MEMS switch structures work at large deflection range. In this paper, 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D nonlinear analytical models suitable for lar...

During the synthesis of functionalized energetic triazole derivatives for biosensor detection devices 1 carboxymethyl 3 diazonio 5 nitrimino 1,2,4 triazole (2) was obtained by nitration of sodium 1 carboxymethyl 3,5 diamino 1,2,4 triazole (1). Zwitterionic (2) behaves like a diazonium cation which was proved from its reaction with sodium azide by the formation of 3 azido 5 nitrimino 1,2,4 triaz...

Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) are most important device used to control the pollution by collecting dust particles present on flue gases. In power plants, Coal used in Indian thermal power stations is of inferior grade, at power plant flue gas is often treated with a series of chemical process and scrubbers, having low calorific value (3500-4500)kcal/kg and high ash content due to drift ori...

We have constructed a compact purely electrostatic ion-beam trap, ConeTrap, which we have mounted inside a double-walled vacuum chamber. In the inner vacuum chamber, we can obtain ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions and reach thermal equilibrium at well controlled temperatures down to 10 K. The chamber was constructed partly with the purpose of making high-precision measurements in ConeTrap, but...

The interface of Pt/TiO2 plays an essential role in device engineering and chemical reactions. Here, we report the electrostatic potential distribution a by electron holography. decrease exists at TiO2 vicinity interface, indicating presence negative charge due to transfer from Pt. can be understood difference work functions between Pt TiO2. This study reveals interplay usefulness holography fo...

Graphene is an attractive electrode material to contact nanostructures down to the molecular scale since it can be gated electrostatically. Gating can be used to control the doping and the energy level alignment in the nanojunction, thereby influencing its conductance. Here we investigate the impact of electrostatic gating in nanojunctions between graphene electrodes operating at finite bias. U...
