Efficient Algorithms for T-way Test Sequence Generation

October 16, 2012
Author(s)
Linbin Yu, Yu Lei, Raghu N. Kacker, D. Richard Kuhn, James F. Lawrence
Combinatorial testing has been shown to be a very effective testing strategy. Most work on combinatorial testing focuses on t-way test data generation, where each test is an unordered set of parameter values. In this paper, we study the problem of t-way

Modeling Extreme Bottom-Up Filling of Through Silicon Vias

August 29, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel Josell, Daniel Wheeler, Thomas P. Moffat
Extreme bottom-up superfilling of through silicon vias (TSV) was recently described wherein deposition occurs on the bottom surface of the vias with negligible deposition on their sidewalls or the field around them. The process uses a deposition

Contour Metrology using Critical Dimension Atomic Force Microscopy

April 9, 2012
Author(s)
Ndubuisi G. Orji, Ronald G. Dixson, Andras Vladar, Bin Ming, Michael T. Postek
The critical dimension atomic force microscope (CD-AFM), which is used as a reference instrument in lithography metrology, has been proposed as a supplemental instrument for contour measurement and verification. However, although data from CD-AFM is

STR Sequence Analysis for Characterizing Normal, Variant, and Null Alleles

August 1, 2011
Author(s)
Margaret C. Kline, Carolyn R. Steffen, John M. Butler, Amy Decker
DNA sequence variation is known to exist in and around the repeat region of short tandem repeat (STR) loci used in human identity testing. While the vast majority of STR alleles measured in forensic DNA laboratories worldwide type as "normal" alleles

A Bayesian Statistical Model for Hybrid Metrology to Improve Measurement Accuracy

July 31, 2011
Author(s)
Richard M. Silver, Nien F. Zhang, Bryan M. Barnes, Jing Qin, Hui Zhou, Ronald G. Dixson
We present a method to combine measurements from different techniques that reduces uncertainties and can improve measurement throughput. The approach directly integrates the measurement analysis of multiple techniques that can include different

Ultrasmooth Gold as a Top Metal Electrode for Molecular Electronic Devices

April 7, 2009
Author(s)
Mariona Coll Bau, Christina A. Hacker, Lauren H. Miller, Daniel R. Hines, E. C. Williams, Curt A. Richter
In the emerging area of molecular electronics, fabrication of reliable metallic contacts remains one of the most critical challenges. Nanotransfer printing (nTP) is an attractive low-cost non-destructive technique to provide contact to organic monolayers

Disordered Nanoparticle Interfaces for Defect-Tolerant Self-Assembly

November 17, 2008
Author(s)
Kevin G. Yager, Brian Berry, Kirt A. Page, Derek L. Patton, Alamgir Karim, Eric J. Amis
Self-assembly is a promising route for controlling the nanoscale structure and material properties of coatings, yet it remains difficult to control the microstructure of these systems. In particular, self-assembling materials typically have complex and

Case Study in the Challenges of Integrating CNC Production and Enterprise Systems

December 3, 2007
Author(s)
Sid Venkatesh, B. Sides, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor
Integration of factory floor Computer Numerical Control (CNC) information into Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) subsystems has been difficult, if not impossible, as traditionally, factory floor machines have been islands of automation. Boeing/NIST/Okuma

The Molecular Origin of Enhanced Toughness in Double-Network Hydrogels

October 22, 2007
Author(s)
Taiki Tominaga, Vijay Tirumala, Eric K. Lin, Jian P. Gong, Hidemitsu Furukawa, Yoshihito Osada, Wen-Li Wu
The long-standing pursuit of a synthetic equivalent to tissue cartilage has seen significant new activity with the development of a new materials strategy: double-network hydrogels (DN-gels) prepared from a combination of an anionic polyelectrolyte and a
