ABSTRACTShort time anneal (STA) experiments were performed in a specially designed system which uses either a bank of Tungsten-Halogen lamps or a moving Mercury arc lamp as the light source. Both STA results were compared with conventional furnace anneal. The Mercury arc lamp anneal is found to be a critical process but optimization for wafer damage free conditions can be achieved. The anneals result in general in a better profile control which is most outspoken for shallow Boron implants while the electrical activation is comparable for all elements to that obtained with Tungsten-Halogen or furnace anneal.

ABSTRACTIt is shown here that high-dose Zn implants in semi-insulating InP substrates, after conventional furnace anneals lead to the following anomalies : step-like atomic Zn and carrier distributions and the presence of electrically inactive Zn at all depths of the profiles.Zn anneal behavior is compared using conventional furnace anneals, and two different types of short-time anneals ; rapid furnace anneals(RFA)at ∼750°C with a rise-time of ∼ 50 s, and halogen lamp rapid thermal anneals (RTA)also at ∼ 750°C with a rise-time of ∼ 4 s. We have established that the Zn anomalous diffusion is an instantaneous phexomenon occuring during annealing transients. Also, we have further shown that RTA would help to smooth carrier profiles by removing the step in carrier (but not in atomic Zn) distribution.The properties of differently Zn co-implanted layers (Zn plus P, Zn plus In and Zn plus As) after RTA, and of P or In implanted Zn doped InP substrates after different anneals,have been studied. We have shown that the presence of electrically inactive Zn in the depth of the layers is a consequence of interaction between Zn atoms and defects. A simple model based on the density of damage deposited in the layer during implant, has been proposed and discussed.

Noninvasive glucose monitoring development is critical for diabetic patient continuous monitoring. However, almost all the available devices are invasive and painful. Noninvasive methods such as using spectroscopy have shown some good results. Unfortunately, the drawback was that the tungsten halogen lamps usage that is impractical if applied on human skin. This paper compared the light emitting diode (LED) to traditional tungsten halogen lamps as light source for glucose detection where the type of light source plays an important role in achieving a good spectrum quality. Glucose concentration measurement has been developed as part of noninvasive technique using optical spectroscopy. Small change and overlapping in tungsten halogen results need to replace it with a more convenient light source such as LED. Based on the result obtained, the performance of LED for absorbance spectrum gives a significantly different and is directly proportional to the glucose concentration. The result shows a linear trend and successfully detects lowest at 60 to 160 mg/dL glucose concentration.

AbstractOptical transmission and scattering spectroscopic microscopy at the visible and adjacent wavelengths denote one of the most informative and inclusive characterization methods in material research. Unfortunately, restricted by the diffraction limit of light, it cannot resolve the nanoscale variation in light absorption and scattering, diagnostics of the local inhomogeneity in material structure and properties. Moreover, a large quantity of nanomaterials has anisotropic optical properties that are appealing yet hard to characterize through conventional optical methods. There is an increasing demand to extend the optical hyperspectral imaging into the nanometer length scale. In this work, we report a super-resolution hyperspectral imaging technique that uses a nanoscale white light source generated by superfocusing the light from a tungsten-halogen lamp to simultaneously obtain optical transmission and scattering spectroscopic images. A 6-nm spatial resolution in the visible to near-infrared wavelength regime (415–980 nm) is demonstrated on an individual single-walled carbon nanotube (SW-CNT). Both the longitudinal and transverse optical electronic transitions are measured, and the SW-CNT chiral indices can be identified. The band structure modulation in a SW-CNT through strain engineering is mapped.

We have compared fluorescent and nonfluorescent light sources for phototherapy for newborn infants with hyperbilirubinemia. Phototherapy was provided by a tungsten halogen lamp and conventional fluorescent lights with identical radiant flux of 6 µW/sq cm. For 22 infants treated with the nonfluorescent lamp the mean duration of phototherapy was 33.77 hours and the mean reduction of bilirubin was 3.84 mg/100 ml/day. This did not differ significantly from infants treated with conventional fluorescent lights. The nonfluorescent light can be utilized for infants in incubators or on radiant warmers. These results provide additional support for the relationship between radiant flux as a practical measure of phototherapy dose and the clinical response of a reduction in serum bilirubin.

ABSTRACTThe reverse annealing of ion implanted boron, namely, the decrease in the concentration of electrically active boron as the isochronal annealing temperature increases, occurs in the temperature range from 550 to 650°C during conventional furnace heating. In this study, silicon crystals were boron implanted at 50 Kev to a dose of 1×1015 cm-2 followed by both furnace and tungsten-halogen lamp annealing in the reverse annealing temperature range. Cross-sectional Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) technique was used to examine the microstructural changes during annealing as a function of depth. Sheet resistance measurements gave a quick check of the electrical properties, while spreading resistance profiling with shallow angle lapping and Hall measurements reveals the mobility and carrier concentration as a function of depth. Czochralski and Float Zone crystals were studied to examine the effect of oxygen. Tungsten-halogen lamp thermal processing was found to have a more pronounced effect on the annealing of secondary defects than did furnace annealing. The reverse annealing of boron was eliminated completely for lamp annealing time as short as 60 seconds.
