Diffusion Barrier Cladding in Si/SiGe Resonant Interband Tunneling Diodes and Their Patterned Growth on PMOS Source/Drain Regions

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
N Jin, A T. Rice, P R. Berger, P E. Thompson, C Rivas, R Lake, S Sudirgo, J J. Kempisty, B Curanovic, S L. Rommel, K D. Hirschman, S K. Kurinec, P Chi, David S. Simons, S.J. Chung
Si/SiGe resonant interband tunnel diodes (RITD) employing delta-doping spikes that demonstrate negative differential resistance (NDR) at room temperature are presented. Efforts have focused on improving the tunnel diode peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR)

Displacement Uncertainty in Interferometric Radius Measurements

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Tony L. Schmitz, Christopher J. Evans, Angela Davies, William T. Estler
Interferometric radius measurements may be completed using a radius bench, where radius is defined as the displacement between the confocal and cat?s eye nulls (identified using a figure measuring interferometer). Measurements of a Zerodur sphere have been

Distribution of Earthquake Input Energy in Structures

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
P Khashaee, B Mohraz, Fahim H. Sadek, Hai S. Lew, John L. Gross
In developing an energy-based design approach and assessing the damage potential of structures, one must know the distribution of earthquake input energy among energy components: kinetic, elastic strain, hysteretic, and damping. This report examines the

DNA-Based Sensors

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Michael J. Tarlov, A B. Steel
The development of DNA-based sensors for genetic assay and sequencing applications has exploded over the last decade. Nearly all of these devices rely on the hybridization of a complementary oligonucleotide with surface-confined, single-stranded DNA or RNA

Early Reliability Assessment Using Deep Censoring

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Harry A. Schafft, Linda M. Head, Jason Gill, Timothy D. Sullivan
A method is described for making direct characterizations of the early part of the intrinsic electromigration fail-time distribution of interconnects. The method involves stressing a large number of test lines only long enough for a relatively few lines to

Earning the Stamp of Approval: How to Achieve Optimal Usability

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Susan L. Makar
Since the NIST Virtual Library (NVL) was first launched in 1994, scientists and engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have relied on it for their research needs. The NVL offers access to valuable scientific databases and

EEEL - Office of Law Enforcement Standards, Programs, Activities, and Accomplishments

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Thomas J. Russell, Susan M. Ballou, Alim A. Fatah, A G. Lieberman, Philip J. Mattson
The Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) helps law enforcement and criminal justice agencies ensure that the equipment they purchase and the technologies they use are safe, dependable, and highly
