Modification Of Materials

Technological processes for modification of materials, deposition, and prevented fumes in the pyrolysis processes are used gases materials in the medium with vacuum pressure or atmospheric air pressure. Therefore, it is essential to understand heat flow transport for designing an efficient reactor or find the substrate's excellent position in the reactor or furnace for growing materials. We evaluated the energy transfer phenomena in the form of temperature distribution and heat flow for various heating sources for the gases and solid materials by Gauss-Seidel equation. The thermal conductivity coefficient (k), number of heating sources, and position of heating sources show an essential parameter for transmitting the distribution of the heat. For high k value shows efficiently for heat transfer at low temperature due to the atom's position close each other. The heat also affects to the phonon and lattice vibration like a wave which  successfully shows these phenomena in this study.

AbstractBecause of aggressive downscaling to increase transistor performance, the physical thickness of the SiO2 gate dielectric is rapidly approaching the limit where it will only consist of a few atomic layers. As a consequence, this will result in very high leakage currents due to direct tunneling. To allow further scaling, materials with a k-value higher than SiO2 (“high-k materials”) are explored, such that the thickness of the dielectric can be increased without degrading performance.Based on our experimental results, we discuss the potential of MOCVD-deposited HfO2 to scale to (sub)-1-nm EOTs (Equivalent Oxide Thickness). A primary concern is the interfacial layer that is formed between the Si and the HfO2, during the MOCVD deposition process, for both H-passivated and SiO2-like starting surfaces. This interfacial layer will, because of its lower k-value, significantly contribute to the EOT and reduce the benefit of the high-k material. In addition, we have experienced serious issues integrating HfO2 with a polySi gate electrode at the top interface depending on the process conditions of polySi deposition and activation anneal used. Furthermore, we have determined, based on a thickness series, the k-value for HfO2 deposited at various temperatures and found that the k-value of the HfO2 depends upon the gate electrode deposited on top (polySi or TiN).Based on our observations, the combination of MOCVD HfO2 with a polySi gate electrode will not be able to scale below the 1-nm EOT marker. The use of a metal gate however, does show promise to scale down to very low EOT values.

Segmentation Problem

This paper proposes using the k-means method for the controlled adjustment of the training sample for semantic image segmentation in the artificial vision of a smart refrigerator. To solve this problem, a new two-stage architecture for computer vision is proposed. In the proposed architecture, various sets of settings for optimizing the contrast of images are used to classify pixels according to their belonging to fragments of the studied image. Extensive experimental evaluation shows that the proposed method has critical advantages over existing work. Firstly, the obtained pixel classes can be directly clustered into semantic groups using k-means. Secondly, the method can be used for additional training of artificial intelligence in solving the semantic segmentation problem. The developers propose an approach to the correct choice of the number k of centroids to obtain good quality clusters, which is difficult to determine at a high k value. To overcome the problem of initializing the k-means method, an incremental k-means clustering method is proposed, which improves the quality of clusters to reduce the sum of squared errors. Comprehensive experiments have been carried out compared to the traditional k-means algorithm and its new versions to evaluate the performance of the proposed method on synthetically generated datasets and some real-world datasets.

High-k material charge trapping nano-layers in flash memory applications have faster program/erase speeds and better data retention because of larger conduction band offsets and higher dielectric constants. In addition, Ti-doped high-k materials can improve memory device performance, such as leakage current reduction, k-value enhancement, and breakdown voltage increase. In this study, the structural and electrical properties of different annealing temperatures on the Nb2O5 and Ti-doped Nb2O5(TiNb2O7) materials used as charge-trapping nano-layers in metal-oxide-high k-oxide-semiconductor (MOHOS)-type memory were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Analysis of the C-V hysteresis curve shows that the flat-band shift (∆VFB) window of the TiNb2O7 charge-trapping nano-layer in a memory device can reach as high as 6.06 V. The larger memory window of the TiNb2O7 nano-layer is because of a better electrical and structural performance, compared to the Nb2O5 nano-layer.

The Difference

In general, hydrogen permeabilityΦ of the alloy membrane is expressed as the product of the hydrogen diffusion coefficient D and the hydrogen solution coefficient K. Therefore, to improve the hydrogen permeability efficiently, the values of K and D should be separately considered. In the present study, hydrogen absorption and permeation behaviors of the Nb19Ti40Ni41 alloy consisting of the eutectic phase are investigated by measuring pressure-composition-isotherm (PCI) and by the hydrogen flow method and compared with those of palladium. The hydrogen absorption in the Nb19Ti40Ni41 alloy does not obey the Sieverts’ law in the pressure region of 0-1.0MPa at 523K, but it shows linear relationship between the difference in the square root of hydrogen pressure and hydrogen content between 0.1 and 0.4MPa. Although the value of D for the Nb19Ti40Ni41 alloy is considerably lower than that of palladium, its high K value enhances the hydrogen permeability Φ. It is suggested that the enhancement of D by microstructural control for Nb19Ti40Ni41 alloy is effective for improvement of Φ.

AbstractThis study presents an investigation on physical-chemical stability of (HfO2)x(Al2O3 )1-x alloys upon prolonged post-deposition annealings. Two different Hf-aluminates were deposited by ALCVDTM, containing 34% and 74% Al2O3 mol% respectively. Post-deposition annealings (PDA) were carried out in O2 or N2 atmosphere, at 850°C and 900°C for 30 minutes. Interfacial layer (IL) increase after PDA was detected on all the samples, but with small differences between N2 and O2 treatments. Stack composition was characterized by means of XRR, XRF, RBS and TOF-SIMS. Growth of interface layer was justified by limited oxygen incorporation from external ambient. Silicon diffusion from the substrate into high-k material and aluminum/hafnium redistribution were observed and associated to annealing temperature. XRD and planar TEM analysis evidenced first grain formation and then, in the case of Hf-rich samples, almost complete crystallization. Overall, Hf-aluminates were found to remain XRD amorphous during high temperature prolonged treatments up to 900°C for 74% and 850°C for 34% alloys respectively. Differently from HfO2, (HfO2)0.66(Al2O3 )0.34 alloy was observed to crystallized in orthorhombic phase. Hf-aluminates were also electrically characterized by means of C(V) and I(V) measurements on basic capacitors. Variations in material electrical properties were found consistent with change in physical-chemical film structure. Increase in k value up to 30 was observed on Hf-rich samples crystallized in orthorhombic phase.

AbstractIn this paper, various approaches to extend scalability of Hafnium-based dielectrics are reported. Among the three crystal phases of HfO2 (monoclinic, cubic and tetragonal), the tetragonal phase has been reported to have the highest dielectric constant. Tetragonal phase stabilization by crystallizing the thin HfO2 using a metal capping layer and by adding zirconium is demonstrated. The microstructure, morphology, optical properties and impurities of HfxZr1-xO2 dielectrics (for 0<x<1) are discussed. Subtle but important modification to high-k / Si interface characteristics resulting from addition of Zr into HfO2 is reported. To further boost the dielectric constant of hafnium-based dielectrics, incorporation of TiO2, which has been reported to have high dielectric constant, is explored. HfxZr1-xO2/TiO2 bilayer films were fabricated. 30 Å TiO2 films were deposited on a 5, 8, 12 or 15 Å HfxZr1-xO2 underlayer to determine the minimum thickness needed to maintain good thermal stability with Si substrate. CV and IV results indicated that 12-15 Å is the optimal thickness range for the HfxZr1-xO2 underlayer. A dielectric constant as high as 150 for TiO2 layer is extracted from TiO2 thickness series deposited on12 Å HfxZr1-xO2 underlayer. In addition to increasing the k-value of Hafnium-based dielectrics, it is important that the threshold voltage of these high-k devices is low. Here we report the use of thin Al2O3 capping layers to modulate PMOS threshold voltages. About 100 mV reduction in threshold voltage is achieved by capping HfO2 with a 5Å Al2O3 film. Finally, dielectric scaling by modifying the Si/high-k interfacial layer is attempted. Nitrogen incorporation into HfxZr1-xO2 is shown to be a simple and effective method to lower the capacitance equivalent thickness (CET) of Hafnium-based dielectrics.

Reinertsen, R. E., V. Flook, S. Koteng, and A. O. Brubakk.Effect of oxygen tension and rate of pressure reduction during decompression on central gas bubbles. J. Appl. Physiol. 84(1): 351–356, 1998.—Reduction in ascent speed and an increase in the O2 tension in the inspired air have been used to reduce the risk for decompression sickness. It has previously been reported that decompression speed and O2 partial pressure are linearly related for human decompressions from saturation hyperbaric exposures. The constant of proportionality K( K = rate/partial pressure of inspired O2) indicates the incidence of decompression sickness. The present study investigated the relationship among decompression rate, partial pressure of inspired O2, and the number of central gas bubbles after a 3-h dive to 500 kPa while breathing nitrox with an O2 content of 35 kPa. We used transesophageal ultrasonic scanning to determine the number of bubbles in the pulmonary artery of pigs. The results show that, for a given level of decompression stress, decompression rate and O2 tension in the inspired air can be traded off against each other by using pulmonary artery bubbles as an end point. The results also seem to confirm that decompressions that have a high K value are more stressful.

ABSTRACTThe preparation of solid materials involves the control and manipulation of fluids in ways that are sensitive to gravitational influences. Although these effects are pervasive, surprisingly little is understood about phenomena such as natural convection and containerless processes under boundary conditions of interest to materials processing. Recent emphasis has focused on process fundamentals involving areas such as fluid dynamics, heat flow, and thermophysical property measurement as can be seen in this Symposium. Such a knowledge base is essential to any sensible evolution of the space environment as a capability for studying materials processing and preparing limited quantities of materials under quiescent or containerless conditions for subsequent assessment on earth. A brief overview of current work will be presented, together with possible future directions.
