High energy Urbach characteristic observed for gallium nitride amorphous surface oxide

We have observed an “above band-gap” Urbach like characteristic for gallium nitride films (at the high energy side of the band-edge). A combination of X-ray diffraction, secondary ion mass spectroscopy and optical transmission measurements were taken for gallium nitride samples of different thickness. From this data we demonstrate that the high energy Urbach like characteristic is related to the presence of an amorphous surface oxide. It is shown to dominate the absorption spectra of thin gallium nitride samples, for which the influence of surface oxidation is strongest.     

Development of a low cost microwave mixer using a broad-band substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) coupler

A low cost single-balanced mixer is designed using a newly designed 90/spl deg/ substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) 3-dB coupler, which takes the advantages of low cost, low profile, and high performance. An X-band single-balanced SIW mixer is designed and fabricated with a standard printed circuit board process. Measured conversion loss of 6.8dB and the wide-band response from 8.5 to 12GHz are presented.     

Studies on the corrosion behavior of cerium-implanted zircaloy-4 with GAXRD

In order to study the influence of cerium ion implantation on the aqueous corrosion behavior of zircaloy-4, specimens were implanted by cerium ions with a fluence range from 1×10¹⁶ to 1×10¹⁷ ions/cm² at maximum 150°C, using MEVVA source at an extracted voltage of 40 kV. The valence and elements penetration distribution of the surface layer were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and auger electron spectroscopy (AES) respectively. Glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) was employed to examine the phase transformation due to the cerium ion implantation in the oxide films. Three-sweep potentiodynamic polarization measurement was employed to value the aqueous corrosion resistance of zircaloy-4 in a 1 N H₂SO₄ solution. It was found that a significant improvement in the aqueous corrosion behavior of zircaloy-4 implanted with cerium ions compared with that of the as-received zircaloy-4. The improvement effect will declined with raising the implantation fluence. The bigger is the fluence, the less is the improvement. Finally, the mechanism of the corrosion behavior of the cerium-implanted zircaloy-4 is discussed.     

高层印制线路板正面临的对位挑战

封装工业正在推动着印制线路板技术水平朝着半导体要求的方向发展。高密度印制线路板正广泛用于网络路由器、自动测试设备和服务器领域。高密度要求(>150 IO/cm~2)正成为客户的普通需求。为满足现有的高密度封装要求,由于线宽、线距和通孔孔径正接近传统制作极限,普遍的方法就是不断增加印制线路板的层数。这些特征正驱动着印制线路板在基材、图像转移、蚀刻、电镀、阻焊、测试流程和对位系统的变化。此文主要讲述了印制线路板特性的变化趋势和利用对位模式和雷利分布去预测满足高级对位要求的能力以及印制线路板各流程中有关对准度的控制要点。

海底天然气渗漏地震探测方法的研究进展

海底天然气渗漏可以指示沉积层中的烃类聚集带，渗漏出的大量气体（主要是甲烷）还可能影响全球的气候变化。此外，与海底渗漏相关的浅层气改变了海底沉积物的土工性质，可能对海底工程构成威胁。因此对海底天然气渗漏进行研究意义重大。在海底渗漏探测方面，地震是一种有效的方法，它不仅能反映深部构造，为海底渗漏提供气体来源和运移通道信息；而且还可以直接用来寻找渗漏相关特征，为海底观测和取样提供依据。在地震剖面上，与海底天然气渗漏相关的浅层气表现为声混浊、声空白、亮点、多次波、速度下拉、气烟囱等特征，泥火山、泥底辟表现为隆起的地震透明带，而麻坑则表现为“V”字形截面和半透明状地震混浊。     

YAG：Ce Phosphors for WLED via Nano-Pesudoboehmite Sol-Gel Route

The sub-micron sized YAG ： Ce phosphors were synthesized via a modified sol-gel method by peptizing nano-pesudoboehmite particulate. It is found that YAG phase from the dried gel powders appears at 1000 ℃ then the pure YAG phase exists at a relatively lower sintering temperature of 1400 ℃. The smaller sizes of phosphors in the ranges of 1 - 3 μm are obtained due to the contribution of seeding effects of nano-sized alumina particles to strengthen each step of the processes. Both the excitation and emission spectra of photoluminescence of the phosphor obtained at 1400 ℃ meet well with the spectroscopic requirements of the WLED phosphors.

Flammability and thermal stability studies of ABS/Montmorillonite nanocomposite

Acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS)/montmorillonite nanocomposites have been prepared using a direct melt intercalation technique by blending ABS and organophilic clay of two different particle sizes: OMTa (5 µm) and OMTb (38 µm). Their structure and flammability properties were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, high resolution electronic microscopy (HREM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and cone calorimeter experiments. The results of HREM showed that ABS/5 wt% OMTa nanocomposite was a kind of intercalated–delaminated structure, while ABS/5 wt% OMTb nanocomposite was mainly an intercalated structure. The nanocomposites showed a lower heat release rate peak and higher thermal stability than the original ABS by TGA and cone calorimeter experiments. Also, the intercalated nanocomposite was more effective than an exfoliated–intercalated nanocomposite in fire retardancy. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry
