Effects of the chemistry of electroplated copper films on stress-induced voiding and adhesion between the films and a SiN barrier layer are reported. The void density as observed by scanning electron microscopy decreased markedly with increasing Cu purity

Adequate modeling of a power MOSFET is dependent on accurate characterization of the inter-electrode capacitances. With the advent of high voltage silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs, it has become important to develop a measurement system that can perform

This document reports on wireless channel measurements and models for outdoor to indoor propagation environments. Although there have been a number of publications that have recently appeared on this topic, e.g., [1], [2], and references therein, the
We demonstrate a new technique to monitor the polarization-mode dispersion in a fiber communication channel by analyzing the modulated data at the fiber output measured with Polarization-Sensitive Linear Optical Sampling (PS-LOS).

We present a novel optical technique that produces nanometer dimensional measurement sensitivity using a conventional optical microscope, by analyzing through-focus scanning-optical-microscope (TSOM) images obtained at different focus positions. In

We have fabricated physically flexible nonvolatile memory devices using inexpensive, room-temperature, solution processing. The behavior of these devices is consistent with that of a memristor device, the missing fourth circuit element theoretically
We have fabricated nonlinear transmission lines and resonators that incorporate both distributed nonlinear capacitance and distributed nonlinear inductance in order to explore how such nonlinear elements interact in a combined nonlinear device. This work

A mu-negative (MNG) metamaterial hemisphere was used to demonstrate impedance matching for a magnetic loop. The metamaterial was comprised of copper spirals deposited on an alumina substrate. The spirals, hemisphere, and magnetic loop were designed to
The uncertainty analysis is presented for NIST measurements of noise parameters of amplifiers and transistors, in both connectorized (coaxial) and on-wafer environments. We treat both the X-parameters, which are based on the wave representation of the

We demonstrate word-synchronous measurements of QPSK format 40 Gb/s PRBS signals using linear optical sampling with a precision time-base, which allows us to average waveforms and distinguish between signal distortion and noise in eye diagrams.
