X-Ray Transition Energies -- New Comprehensive Evaluation

Author(s)
R Deslattes, Ernest G. Kessler, Paul Indelicato, E Lindroth
In this brief report we describe some of the background for our continuing efforts toward a new comprehensive data base for x-ray transitions, and indicate the

Comparison of SOLR and TRL Calibrations

Author(s)
Dave K. Walker, Dylan F. Williams
We examine a short-open-load-reciprocal scattering parameter calibration in both in-line and orthogonal probe configurations. We explore its standard

In-Line Multiport Calibration Algorithm

Author(s)
Dylan F. Williams, Dave K. Walker
We present a multiport measurement procedure well suited to on-wafer measurement. It can correct multiport measurements with any conventional in-line

A Cryogenic Catheter for Treating Heart Arrhythmia

Author(s)
E D. Marquardt, Ray Radebaugh, J Dobak
Progress in the development of a cryogenic catheter to treat heart arrhythmia is discussed. This system uses a mixed-gas Joule-Thomson refrigerator to cool the

Lumped-Element Impedance Standards

Author(s)
Dylan F. Williams, Dave K. Walker
We measure the electrical parameters of commercial lumped-element impedance standards manufactured for the calibration of on-wafer probing systems. The standard

Toward a Unified Advanced CD-SEM Specification for Sub 0.18 Micrometer Technology

Author(s)
J Allgair, C Archie, W Banke, H Bogardus, J Griffith, H Marchman, Michael T. Postek, L Saraf, J Schlesinger, B Singh, N. Sullivan, L Trimble, Andras Vladar, A Yanof
The stringent critical dimension (CD) control requirements in cutting edge device facilities have placed significant demands on metrologists and upon the tools

Optimizing GMR Spin Valves: The Outlook for Improved Properties

Author(s)
William F. Egelhoff Jr., P J. Chen, Cedric J. Powell, D Parks, Robert McMichael, J Judy, D Martien, A. E. Berkowitz, J M. Daughton
The current generation of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valves exhibits performance characteristics which are not quite as good as desired for ultrahigh

Stability of Multilayer Structures: Capillary Effects

Author(s)
Daniel Josell, W Carter, John E. Bonevich
The long term stability of multilayer materials composed of nonreactive, immiscible materials is related to the equilibrium shapes of the individual grains
