Particles detection and analysis of hard disk substrate after cleaning of post chemical mechanical polishing

Scrub, ultrasonic and megasonic are widely used in industry as post-CMP (chemical mechanical polishing/planarization) cleaning procedure. In this paper experiments and results are described to analyze the particle contaminations of hard disk substrate after each process of post-CMP cleaning. A scatter spot method has been exploited to detect the location and characteristics of the particles. SEM with EDX is used to observe and analyze the particles’ shape and size as well as the elements. The results indicate that brush scrub process can remove 99% contaminations after CMP but not that efficient for submicron particle. Megasonic is a refined method for cleaning nano-particles. However, contaminations like metallic particles and bacteria from the equipment may cause pollution. The abrasive particles embedded in the plating pits cannot be removed by mechanical force. Pollution in the dryer is also discussed.     

Effect of sputtering process on magnetic properties and crystal structure of Sm2Fe17Nx thin films

Hard magnetic Sm₂Fe₁₇N_x thin films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering and subsequent nitrogenation process. The results show that the sputtering parameters determine the film composition, which determines the crystal structure and magnetic properties. When the gas pressure varies from 1.2 to 2.1 Pa and power varies from 40 to 60 W, higher Sm content (>11.3 at%) is obtained, giving rise to improved coercivity H_C and remanence ratio M_R/M_S. The optimal H_C of 2127.8 Oe and M_R/M_S of 0.53 are obtained when the gas pressure and power reach 1.2 Pa and 50 W, respectively. In addition, it is found that the pure single Sm₂Fe₁₇ phase can be observed when the ratio of Fe/Sm exceeds 7.1 by controlling the sputtering parameters to adjust the composition.

上海深部硬土渗透特性试验研究

上海深部硬土层的沉降显著滞后于水位变化, 本文通过一系列渗透试验进行了相关问题的研究, 包括初始水力坡度, 结核对渗透性的影响, 压力对渗透性的作用, 以及孔隙比与渗透系数之间规律的研究。结果表明硬土的渗透速率与水力坡度之间符合良好的线性关系, 满足达西定律; 大量的致密结核对渗透性影响微弱; 应力增加导致渗透性降低, 渗透系数与孔隙比呈指数规律变化。基于试验成果评价了1989～2007年天然硬土的渗透性变化, 此期间硬土层边界水位下降了近30m, 硬土层的沉降造成了该层渗透性的降低, 但土层的平均渗透系数改变不大。     

Bandwidths studied as a function of temperature in ammonium halides near Tlambda

This study gives our analysis of the Raman bandwidths using the soft mode-hard mode coupling model applied to ammonium halides. The temperature dependence of our observed bandwidths for the nu5(174 cm-1) Raman mode of NH4Cl and nu5(177 cm-1) Raman mode of NH4Br, is analyzed close to phase transitions. From our analysis, we obtain beta=0.13 as the values of the critical exponent for the order parameter in the first order phase region for the ammonium halides.     

Magnetization curves of hard superconductor samples with non-zero demagnetization factor

We present exact solutions of Bean’s critical state model for some sample shapes having non-zero demagnetization factorN. Virgin and hysteresis magnetization curves are obtained for samples in the shape of (i) a sphere (ii) a spheroid (iii) a cylinder of circular cross-section with its axis perpendicular to the field and (iv) a cylinder of elliptical cross section with its axis perpendicular to the field. Some interesting features seen in these first solutions forN ≠ 0 are discussed.     

Hard and soft constraints for reasoning about qualitative conditional preferences

Many real life optimization problems are defined in terms of both hard and soft constraints, and qualitative conditional preferences. However, there is as yet no single framework for combined reasoning about these three kinds of information. In this paper we study how to exploit classical and soft constraint solvers for handling qualitative preference statements such as those captured by the CP-nets model. In particular, we show how hard constraints are sufficient to model the optimal outcomes of a possibly cyclic CP-net, and how soft constraints can faithfully approximate the semantics of acyclic conditional preference statements whilst improving the computational efficiency of reasoning about these statements.
