We present a detailed investigation of the phonons and LO-phononplasmon coupled modes in the Ga1−x InxAsy Sb1−y alloy by means of Raman scattering. A generalization of the dielectric Raman lineshape model to quaternary alloys is described and used to
The gate dielectrics year-in-review includes a comprehensive examination of the past year s reports which detail gate stack reliability issues and the corresponding physical mechanisms which limit the performance and lifetimes of advanced devices. The
The negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) is a reliability problem that, in the last ten years, has risen from relative obscurity to become the most important reliability problem in advanced pMOSFET devices. Even though a significant effort has been

Functional tissue engineering of articular cartilage is rapidly advancing as a technique to develop regenerative and reparative treatments for cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis. Tissue engineered constructs are often developed using a combination

This paper reports the first direct tensile tests on nearly defect free, n-type (Si-doped) gallium nitride single crystal nanowires. Here, for the first time, nanowires have been integrated with actuated, active microelectromechanical (MEMS) structures
Critical flow venturis (CFVs) can be used to measure flow under transient pressure and flow conditions with uncertainties of 0.13 % or less (95 % confidence level). Blow-down tests transferred 630 g of nitrogen during a 100 s interval from an unregulated

It has been shown that individual molecules of single stranded DNA can be driven electrophoretically through a single Staphylococcus aureus ?-hemolysin ion channel. Polynucleotides thread through the channel as extended chains and the polymer-induced ionic

Resist-on-silicon sub-50 nm targets have been investigated using a 193 nm angle-resolved scatter field microscope(ARSM). The illumination path of this microscope allows customization of the Conjugate Back Focal Plane (CBFP) while separate collection paths
