Effect of Wafer Temperature on High Aspect Ratio Hardmask Etching

Fluorocarbon-based chemistries were used to study the effect of wafer temperature on the etch of high aspect ratio hardmasks composed of SiO₂ and SiN_x layers. It is found that etch stop can occur easily at high temperature. The rate of polymer deposition plays an important role in etch stop. The etching rates were found to be inversely proportional to the wafer temperature. Such a relation indicates a negative activation energy in the rate expression of hardmask etching using fluorocarbon plasma. It also implies that in hardmask etching, complicated gas-surface, but not simple one-step, reactions are involved. Different wafer surface temperature can provide different degree of activation for etching reactions. Analysis of etching rate and optical emission trends indicates that CF_x may contribute more than F does in the etch of SiO₂ and SiN_x, since polymer-rich etching chemistries were used. Based on the temperature-dependent etching rate, we propose a reaction mechanism for the reaction trends observed in hardmask etching.

Smartphone-Assisted Protein to Creatinine Ratio Determination on a Single Paper-Based Analytical Device

Proteinuria is a condition in which an excessive amount of protein is excreted in urine. It is, among others, an indicator of kidney disease or risk of cardiovascular disease. Rapid and reliable diagnosis and monitoring of proteinuria is of great importance for both patients and their physicians. For that reason, a paper-based sensor for proteinuria diagnosis was designed, optimized, and validated utilizing smartphone-assisted signal acquisition. In the first step, a few commonly employed protein assays were optimized and compared in terms of analytical performance on paper matrix. The tetrabromophenol blue method was selected as the one providing a sufficiently low limit of detection (39 mg·L⁻¹) on the one hand and appropriate long-term stability (up to 3 months) on the other hand. The optimized assay was employed for protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR) determination on a single paper-based sensor. For both analytes the linear ranges were within the clinically relevant range. The analytical usefulness of the developed sensors was demonstrated by a PCR recovery study in artificial urine. The obtained PCR recoveries were from ca. 80 to 150%.

Effect of Electrical Contact on the Performance of Bi2S3 Single Nanowire Photodetectors

Bi₂S₃ single‐crystalline nanowires are synthesized through a hydrothermal method and then fabricated into single nanowire photodetectors. Due to the different contact barrier between the gold electrode and Bi₂S₃ nanowires, two kinds of devices with different electrical contacts are obtained and their photoresponsive properties are investigated. The non‐ohmic contact devices show larger photocurrent gains and shorter response times than those of ohmic contact devices. Furthermore, the influence of a focused laser on the barrier height between gold and Bi₂S₃ is explored in both kinds of devices and shows that laser illumination on the Au?Bi₂S₃ interface can greatly affect the barrier height in non‐ohmic contact devices, while keeping it intact in ohmic contact devices. A model based on the surface photovoltage effect is used to explain this phenomenon.

Effect of Electrolytes on Redox Reactivity of Polypyrrole

Doping and dedoping characteristics of polypyrrole (PPy) formed electrochemically have been examined by means of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Dodecylsulfate ions (DS⁻) and perchlorate ions (ClO⁻₄) were embedded simultaneously in PPy when both ions were present on the polymerization of pyrrole. Sequential formation of PPy in the single dopant system allowed PPy/ClO₄ to grow in the bulk of PPy/DS but not vice versa. DS⁻ was embedded not to leave the polymer on reduction but ClO⁻₄ moved in and out of the polymer on redox reaction. Cyclic voltammetry was employed to determine the redox reactivity of PPy in different electrolyte systems. NaClO₄ was a better electrolyte for cyclic redox reaction than LiClO₄ or KClO₄. NaCl was a good electrolyte for cyclic redox reaction but Cl⁻ failed to penetrate in the PPy/DS bulk on reoxidation. The cyclic redox reactivity lasted longest when PPy/DS was redox-cycled sequentially in the NaCl electrolyte system and then in the NaClO₄ system. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of Electropolymerization Condition on Polypyrrole Schottky Barrier

Schottky barriers of some polypyrrole(PPy) nitrate film, which was prepared electro-chemically from ethyl alcohol solution, and poly(N-methylpyrrole) (PNMP) films were observed and investigated by means of measuring the current density (J)-voltage(V) characteristics of Al/PPy/ITO and Al/PNMP/ITO. A strong effect of the film thickness on the rectification ratios was recognized for the PPy films. The Schottky barrier parameters were evaluated from J-V plots.

Effect of Gate Electric Field on Single Organic Molecular Devices (cited: 3)

Based on the first-principles computational method and elastic scattering Green's function theory, we have investigated the effect of gate electric field on electronic transport properties of a series of single organic molecular junctions theoretically. The numerical results show that the molecular junctions that have redox centers and relatively large dipole moments parallel gate direction can respond to the gate electric field remarkably. The current-voltage properties of 2,5-dimethyl-thiophene-dithiol present N-channel-metal-oxide-semiconductor-like characteristics. Its distinct current-voltage properties can be understood from the evo-lution of eigenvalues, coupling energies, and atomic charges with gate electric field.

The Effect of Substrate on the Annealing of Poly(butylene succinate) Single Crystals

The morphological evolution of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) solution‐grown single crystals during annealing was studied using hot‐stage atomic force microscopy. Their morphology changed with increasing temperature and annealing time. The annealing behavior and melting temperature were found to be affected by the substrate. Morphological changes occurred at a much lower temperature on an amorphous carbon film than that on a mica surface. Moreover, the pattern of morphological evolution of the single crystals on a carbon film was different from that on a mica surface. Since the PBS melt had a larger contact angle on the mica surface, these differences in the melting behavior were ascribed to the different interfacial interactions between the chain‐folded surface of the single crystal and the substrate.
