Metrology for the next generation of semiconductor devices

October 12, 2018
Author(s)
Ndubuisi G. Orji, Mustafa Badaroglu, Bryan M. Barnes, Carlos Beitia, Benjamin D. Bunday, Umberto Celano, Regis J. Kline, Mark Neisser, Yaw S. Obeng, Andras Vladar
The semiconductor industry continues to produce ever smaller devices that are ever more complex in shape and contain ever more types of materials. The ultimate sizes and functionality of these new devices will be affected by fundamental and engineering

Policy Machine: Towards a General Purpose Enterprise-Wide Operating Environment

August 28, 2014
Author(s)
David F. Ferraiolo, Larry Feldman, Gregory A. Witte
The ability to control access to sensitive data in accordance with policy is perhaps the most fundamental security requirement. Despite over four decades of security research, the limited ability for existing access control mechanisms to enforce a

Experimental measurements and noise analysis of a cryogenic radiometer

July 10, 2014
Author(s)
Solomon I. Woods, Timothy M. Jung, Adriaan C. Carter, Raju V. Datla , Stephen M. Carr
A cryogenic radiometer device, intended for use as part of an electrical-substitution radiometer, was measured at low temperature. The device consists of a receiver cavity mechanically and thermally connected to a temperature-controlled stage through a

A fitting program for molecules with two equivalent methyl tops and C2v point-group symmetry at equilibrium: Application to existing microwave, millimeter, and sub-millimeter wave measurements of acetone

May 31, 2013
Author(s)
Jon T. Hougen, Vadim V. Ilyushin
A program, called PAM_C2v_2tops, for fitting the high-resolution torsion-rotation spectra of molecules with two equivalent methyl rotors and C2v symmetry at equilibrium is described and applied to the spectrum of acetone [(CH3)2CO]. The G36 permutation

Thermal Correction to the Molar Polarizability of a Boltzmann Gas (Brief Report)

March 1, 2011
Author(s)
Ulrich D. Jentschura, M. Puchalski, Peter Mohr
The metrology of fundamental quantities in atomic physics has been crucial for a number of advanced determinations of fundamental constants. In addition to very accurate frequency measurements, the molar polarizability of atomic gases has recently been

Dynamic Error Correction of a Digitizer for Time Domain Metrology

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
David I. Bergman
A method for numerical correction of distortion in a digitizer used for metrology applications is described. Investigation of the digitizer's error behavior in the phase plane leads to the development of an analytic error model that describes the digitizer

High-Resolution Infrared Spectrum of the Ring-Puckering Band, N 10 of Diborane

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
Walter J. Lafferty, J.- M. Flaud, R L. Sams, Thomas A. Blake, S W. Sharpe
The spectrum of the Ņ 10 band of diborane, arising from the ring puckering vibration, has been obtained with a spectral resolution of 0.0015 cm -1 in the region 275 to 400 cm -1. The spectrum of a sample enriched in 10B was recorded as well as one with

Engineering Intelligent Systems

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
James S. Albus
What is intelligence? Where did it come from? What is its fundamental nature? What are its elemental constituents? Can it be created artificially? If so how? The answers to these questions are beginning to emerge. As the second millennium draws to a close

Electrical Measurements for Electronic Interconnections at NIST

August 1, 1999
Author(s)
Dylan Williams, Donald C. DeGroot
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) operates a number of research projects to advance measurement science and technology for the microelectronic industry. Here we will summarize (1), report on one component of the NIST program, the

Effects of Nonlinear Diode Junction Capacitance on the Nose-to-Nose Calibration

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
Kate Remley, Dylan Williams, Donald C. DeGroot, Jan Verspecht, John Kerley
We examine the effects of nonlinear diode junction capacitance on the fundamental premise of the noise-to-nose calibration, that the kickout is identical in shape to the impulse response of the sampler. We offer a physical explanation for the error

Stress and Strain Heuristics for a Layered Elastomeric Foam at Medium Impact Rates

September 14, 2020
Author(s)
Alexander Landauer, Jared C. Van Blitterswyk, Michael Riley, Aaron Forster
Impact mitigating materials (IMMs) are used to reduce injury or damage due to a blunt impact, which often occurs at high rates or energies. Innovation in IMMs and designs strategies are required for the development of safer protective equipment. A key
