X-ray spectra in the energy range (12 to 60) keV were recorded by a transmission crystal spectrometer from targets irradiated by the 60 beam, difference} 30 kJ
We demonstrate that local oxidation of silicon nitride films deposited on conductive substrates with a conductive-probe atomic force microscope (AFM) is a very
There are three areas to consider when planning to wire bond to new chips having copper bond pads and low dielectric-constant polymers imbedded beneath them (Cu
General-purpose microprocessors are increasingly being used for control applications due to their widespread availability and software support for non-control
Unlike the silicon semiconductor industry, the compound semiconductor industry does not have an international consensus for a few selected applications and
This paper summarizes some results of a recent NIST measurement effort. The purpose of this effort was to use a NSIT-developed ultrawideband measurement system

We studied the effects of heavy ion and gamma ray irradiation on radiation-induced leakage current (RILC) and time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) life
The economic development of the Twentieth Century was accompanied and enhanced by the increasing use of documentary standards, largely developed by industry. In

We discuss progress in developing a new broadband (10MHz to 40MHz) RF field standard to be used for calibrating small electromagnetic field probes. The
We use a measurement method designed for coupled lines on highly conductive substrates to characterize identical asymmetric coupled lines fabricated on lossy
The prediction of concrete rheological properties is essential for the correct use of the material. The composition of the concrete is nowadays complex. It is
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing aguarded hot plate apparatus to measure the thermal conductivity of thermal insulation
High throughput experimentation is currently restricted by its limited ability to evaluate more than one parameter of a library at a time (e.g., chemical
Calibration facilities and procedures for measurement of Averaged LED intensity using the detector-based method have been developed at the National Institute of
Metallic and pearlescent coatings are becoming increasingly important in automotive, currency, and cosmetic applications. These coatings consist of metallic or
The NIST Is continuing to develop the ability to perform accurate, traceable measurements on a wide range of artifacts using a very precise, error-mapped
This paper reports to the international community on recent developments in technical ;policies, programs, and capabilities at the U.S. National Institute of
Laboratory and transfer standards are developed for the relative intensity noise (RIN) of optical fiber sources in the 1550 nm range. Herein RIN denotes the
This paper presents a pressure drop correlation for evaporation and condensation in smooth and micro-fin tubes. The correlation was developed from a data base

We have developed a methodology to determine the quality of an EMC test facility using equipment that may be generally available to RF testing services. By
Although the theory is straightforward, practical implementation of spherical near-field scanning for evaluating test chambers presents some significant
Bluetooth is a radio technology for Wireless Personal Area Networks operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Since both Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 devices use the same
The self-energy screening correction to the Coulomb part of the electron-electron interaction (self-energy screening) is evaluated. We consider only the
The Testability of Interaction-Driven Manufacturing Systems project seeks to enhance the design-for-testability of specifications for manufacturing software
Evaluation conferences such as TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR are modern examples of the Cranfield evaluation paradigm. In the Cranfield paradigm, researchers perform
