Extraction of Sheet-Resistance from Four-Terminal Sheet Resistors in Monocrystalline Films Having Non-Planar Geometries

December 31, 1998
Author(s)
Michael W. Cresswell, Nadine Guillaume, Richard A. Allen, William F. Guthrie, Rathindra Ghoshtagore, James C. OwenI II, Z. Osborne, N. Sullivan, Loren W. Linholm
This paper describes methods for the extraction of sheet resistance from V/I measurements made on four-terminal sheet resistors incorporated into electrical linewidth test structures patterned with non-planar geometries in monocrystalline silicon-on

Failure Dynamics of the IGBT During Turn-Off for Unclamped Inductive Loading Conditions

December 31, 1998
Author(s)
Chien-Chung Shen, Allen R. Hefner Jr., David W. Berning, J B. Bernstein
The internal failure dynamics of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IBGT) for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) conditions are studied using simulations and measurements. The UIS measurements are made using a unique, automated nondestructive Revers

MEMS-Based Test Structures for IC Technology

December 31, 1998
Author(s)
S. A. Smee, Michael Gaitan, Yogendra K. Joshi, David L. Blackburn
As Integrated Circuit (IC) device sizes shrink, intrinsic and thermo-mechanical stress in interconnects is an ever increasing reliability concern. Increasing device density leads to more interconnect layers and hence, greater probability of stress related

Reliability Characterization of Ultra-Thin Film Dielectrics

December 31, 1998
Author(s)
John S. Suehle
The reliability of gate oxides is becoming a critical concern as oxide thickness is scaled below 4 mm in advanced CMOS technologies. Traditional reliability characterization techniques must be modified for very thin gate oxides and soft breakdown. As

Issues in Software Component Testing

December 17, 1998
Author(s)
William J. Majurski
The purpose of this project is to construct a tool for testing software APIs that integrates two established software test generation techniques: context free grammars and constraint satisfaction. Context free grammars with extensions have been used to

S2M2 A Java Applet-Based SMIL Player

December 17, 1998
Author(s)
Wo L. Chang, J Yu
Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is a simple but powerful declarative language, which extends the current multimedia technology on the Web with temporal synchronization capabilities. It uses the

Optical constants of (Al 0.98 Ga 0.02 ) x O y native oxides

December 14, 1998
Author(s)
K. J. Knopp, Richard Mirin, David H. Christensen, Kristine A. Bertness, Alexana Roshko, R A. Synowicki
We report the optical constants of oxidized crystalline and low-temperature-grown (LTG) Al 0.98Ga 0.02As films, as determined by variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry. Data were acquired at three angles of incidence over 240-1700nm and fit to a Cauchy

Parallel Implementation of a Molecular Dynamics Simulation Program

December 13, 1998
Author(s)
Alan Mink, C A. Bailly
We have taken a NIST molecular dynamics simulation program (md3), which was configured as a single sequential process running on a CRAY C90 vector supercomputer, and parallelized it to run in a distributed memory message passing environment. Since

Report on the First-Generation NIST Convective Heat Flux Calibration Facility

December 10, 1998
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg, C A. Womeldorf
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed a convective heat flux calbration facility to allow evaluation of heat flux sensors. This facility is a small wind tunnel that produces a two-dimensionl laminar boundary layer across a heated
