Hf-doped and NH/sub 3/-nitrided high-K gate dielectric thin film with least drain current degradation and flatband voltage shift

A novel technique to form high-K dielectric of HfSiON by doping base oxide with Hf and nitridation with NH/sub 3/, sequentially, is proposed. The HfSiON gate dielectric demonstrates excellent device performances such as only 10% degradation of saturation drain current and almost 45 times of magnitude reduction in gate leakage compared with conventional SiO/sub 2/ gate at the approximately same equivalent oxide thickness. Additionally, negligible flatband voltage shift is achieved with this technique. Time-dependent dielectric breakdown tests indicate that the lifetime of HfSiON is longer than 10 years at V/sub dd/=2 V.     

Phase behavior,density, and crystallization of polyethylene in n‐pentane and in n‐pentane/CO2 at high pressures

The phase behavior and volumetric properties of polyethylene (PE) in solutions of n‐pentane and n‐pentane/CO₂ were studied in a temperature (T) range of 370–440 K at pressures up to 60 MPa. Measurements were conducted with a variable‐volume view‐cell system equipped with optical sensors to monitor the changes in the transmitted light intensity as the P or the T of the system was changed. Lower‐critical‐solution‐temperature‐type behavior was observed for all of the liquid–liquid (L–L) phase boundaries, which shifted to higher pressures in solutions containing CO₂. The solid–fluid (S–F) phase boundaries were investigated over a P range of 8–54 MPa and took place in a narrow T range, from 374 to 378 K in this P interval. The S–F phase boundary showed a unique feature in that the demixing temperatures showed both increasing and decreasing trends with P depending on the P range. This was observed in both the PE/n‐pentane and PE/n‐pentane/CO₂ mixtures. The density of these solutions were measured as a function of P at selected temperatures or as a function of T at selected pressures that corresponded to the paths followed in approaching the phase boundaries (S–F or L–L) starting from a homogeneous one‐phase condition. The data showed a smooth variation of the overall mixture density along these paths. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 2201–2209, 2003     

Improvement of AlGaInP light emitting diode by sulfide passivation

The brightness of AlGaInP light emitting diodes (LEDs) has been raised by a factor of 1.12 at 20 mA by sulfide passivation. Meanwhile, the sulfide also can decrease leakage current of AlGaInP LEDs at -2 V to nearly one thousandth of that in the as-fabricated device. The possible causes for the brightness increase of AlGaInP LEDs after sulfide treatment including surface roughness, reduction of Fresnel loss, and effective injection of carriers were demonstrated.

Estramustine and estrone analogs rapidly and reversibly inhibit deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis and alter morphology in cultured human glioblastoma cells

Estramustine is an estradiol-based agent that has been shown to accumulate in human glioma cells, resulting in a concentration-dependent alteration in cell size and shape within minutes and an inhibition of proliferation over 3 to 6 days. We evaluated human glioblastoma cultures with [3H]thymidine incorporation assays to determine estramustine's early effects on deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in these tumors. Because estramustine shares a common structural motif with other antimicrotubule drugs, we synthesized four A-ring conjugates of estrone that contained a carbamate moiety but lacked nitrogen mustard. These analogs were examined by [3H]thymidine incorporation and compared with vinblastine. Greater than 70% inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation occurred within 1 hour of treatment with estramustine at 10(-5) mol/L, which increased to 80% inhibition at 4 hours. Ethyl carbamate JE208 was nearly as effective as estramustine in inhibiting deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis, and both were more effective than vinblastine. The inhibitory effects of estramustine and estrone analogs were reversible; vinblastine was not reversible. Although estramustine and JE208 induced similar antiproliferative and morphological changes in glioblastoma cells that persisted for at least 4 days, there was a modest recovery of morphology and thymidine incorporation with JE208 after prolonged treatment. The common findings with estramustine and JE208 suggest that these agents may have a similar mechanism of action and form the basis for the investigation of new agents that may rapidly and reversibly inhibit glioblastoma.     

Clinical study in epidural injection with lappaconitine compound for post-operative analgesia

In this study, the effect and side-effect of epidural injection with lappaconitine compound for post-operative analgesia was observed. One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into 4 groups. Lappaconitine compound (LB) consisted of 12 mg of lappaconitine and 22.5 mg of bupivacaine, was given to group A (the group of observation), and lappaconitine 12 mg, bupivacaine 22.5 mg and morphine 2 mg to group B, C and D respectively for control. All were given by epidural injection with single blind method during post-operative pain of incision operation. Result showed that the initiating of analgesia was quicker in group A and C than that in group B and D, and the efficacy was group D > A > C > B. There was significant difference between group A and B in the above two parameters, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05. The analgisia maintenence time of single injection was D > A > B > C, that of group D was significantly longer than that of group A (P < 0.01). It indicated that the epidural injection with LB was more rapid and potent than that with lappaconitine alone in post-operative analgesia, and the former had no side-effect, it was safer than morphine.
