Selective dry etching of TiN nanostructures over SiO2 nanotrenches using a CI2/Ar/N2 inductively coupled plasma
(2016)
Abstract : An inductively coupled plasma etch process for the fabrication of TiN nanostructures over nanotopography is presented. Using a Cl2/Ar/N2 plasma, a selectivity of 50 is achieved over SiO2. The effect of N2 flow ...
Chemical composition of nanoporous layer formed by electrochemical etching of p-type GaAs
(2016)
Abstract : We have performed a detailed characterization study of electrochemically etched p-type GaAs in a hydrofluoric acid-based electrolyte. The samples were investigated and characterized through cathodoluminescence ...
A silicone nanocrystal tunnel field effect transistor
(2014)
Abstract : In this work, we demonstrate a silicon nanocrystal Field Effect Transistor (ncFET). Its operation is similar to that of a Tunnelling Field Effect Transistor (TFET) with two barriers in series. The tunnelling ...
Synergistic activity between primary visual neurons
(2014)
Abstract : Cortical microcircuitry plays a pivotal role in encoding sensory information reaching the
cortex. However, the fundamental knowledge concerning the mechanisms that govern
feature-encoding by these sub-networks ...
Highly transparent low capacitance plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition Al2O3-HfO2 tunnel junction engineering
(2014)
Abstract : The development of metallic single electron transistor (SET) depends on the downscaling and the electrical properties of its tunnel junctions. These tunnel junctions should insure high tunnel current levels, low ...
Arrays of holes fabricated by electron-beam lithography combined with image reversal process using nickel pulse reversal plating
(2004)
Abstract : A critical issue in fabricating arrays of holes is to achieve high-aspect-ratio structures. Formation of ordered arrays of nanoholes in silicon nitride was investigated by the use of ultrathin hard etch mask ...
Implementation of a simplified method in design of hysteretic dampers for isolated highway bridges
(2017)
Abstract: Using seismic isolation systems for highway bridges modifies the structure’s principal vibration modes, effectively reducing the seismic base shear conveyed from the superstructure to the substructure. However, ...
Full-scale measurement of the response of a CPV tracker structure prototype under wind load
(2017)
The response of concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) structures under wind loading has to be carefully predicted to optimize the design of these structures. Designers normally rely on wind tunnel tests and equivalent static ...
Modeling multilayered wire strands, a strategy based on 3D finite element beam-to-beam contacts - Part I: Model formulation and validation
(2017)
Abstract: This paper proposes a FE modeling strategy for multilayered strands subjected to multiaxial loads. The approach takes advantage of beam elements and incorporates 3D inter-wire contacts. While reducing mesh sizes, ...
Modulation of functional connectivity following visual adaptation: homeostasis in V1
(2015)
Abstract: Sensory neurons exhibit remarkable adaptability in acquiring new optimal selectivity to unfamiliar features when a new stimulus becomes prevalent in the environment. In conventionally prepared adult anesthetized ...
