In this work, TaN bottom electrode thermal sensing resistor for MEMs-based bolometer was designed and fabricated by 200 mm Cu -BEOL compatible process. Thermal sensing material was B -doped alpha- Si deposited by PECVD in situ doping process. PVD TaN film was used as the bottom electrode. Dedicated process on modified tool was introduced to achieve a good contact between the TaN and the sensing material. There are both CVD and Etch chambers installed on this modified tool. Wafer with bottom electrode pattern was pre-cleaned firstly by low-power Ar /CF4 gas to remove oxide and possible surface residue on TaN in the etch chamber. Then, the wafer was transferred to CVD chamber through transfer chamber in vacuum condition. With vacuum transfer condition under tight Q-time control, Ohmic contact can be achieved for the TaN bottom electrode and B -doped alpha- Si . Through the IV curve and TCR data, it can be seen that the bottom electrode device can well meet the MEMs-based bolometer requirements.

Abstract. Power facilitates goal pursuit, but how does power affect the way people respond to conflict between their multiple goals? Our results showed that higher trait power was associated with reduced experience of conflict in scenarios describing multiple goals (Study 1) and between personal goals (Study 2). Moreover, manipulated low power increased individuals’ experience of goal conflict relative to high power and a control condition (Studies 3 and 4), with the consequence that they planned to invest less into the pursuit of their goals in the future. With its focus on multiple goals and individuals’ experiences during goal pursuit rather than objective performance, the present research uses new angles to examine power effects on goal pursuit.

Multiple Risk Factors

Abstract:When studying the possible effects of several factors in a given disease, two major problems arise: (1) confounding, and (2) multiplicity of tests. Frequently, in order to cope with the problem of confounding factors, models with multiple explanatory variables are used. However, the correlation structure of the variables may be such that the corresponding tests have low power: in its extreme form this situation is coined by the term “multicollinearity”. As the problem of multiplicity is still relevant in these models, the interpretation of results is, in most cases, very hazardous. We propose a strategy - based on a tree structure of the variables - which provides a guide to the interpretation and controls the risk of erroneously rejecting null hypotheses. The strategy was applied to a study of cervical pain syndrome involving 990 subjects and 17 variables. Age, sex, head trauma, posture at work and psychological status were all found to be important risk factors.
