LA ICP-MS in microelectronics failure analysis

To keep up with the trend of integrating more functionality within lighter and smaller consumer electronics devices, the dimensions of components keep shrinking. Technologies such as high density interconnection, 3-D interconnection, system in package (SIP), and flexible circuit are becoming more commonly used. The smaller dimensions of the conductors and insulators (spacing) used in these technologies make them more sensitive to chemical contamination. Trace amounts of chemical contamination introduced during the manufacturing process or in the field can cause device failures. The failure mechanisms include inversion-induced leakage current, corrosion, and electro-chemical migration, to name a few. The complexity of materials used in a highly integrated system also poses new challenges for fault isolation and chemical characterization in failure analysis. This paper calls attention to the selection of appropriate analytical techniques in terms of spatial resolution and sensitivity, sample preparation complexity, throughput, and detection limitations. We present two failure analysis cases in which LA-ICP MS, in conjunction with other analytical techniques, was successfully used to identify the source of chemical contamination and the root cause.

Depuration of Mytilus galloprovincialis experimentally contaminated with hepatitis A virus

Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were contaminated with known amounts of laboratory strains of hepatitis A virus and Poliovirus 1 and the effectiveness of a self-cleansing mechanism was studied using a pilot depuration system. Both viruses were rapidly bioaccumulated by mussels and the maximal concentration of about 10(4) TCID50/ml was reached within 1.5 hours. Depuration was carried out up to 24 h; infectivity titer decreased to 10(2) TCID50/ml and 10(3.2) TCID50/ml within 6 h in hepatitis A virus and Poliovirus 1 contaminated mussels, respectively, but only a very slight further decrease was obtained after 24 h. E. coli was used as a control; within 24 h the concentration decreased from 40 to 2 bacteria/ml of mussel (MPN). The elimination of bacteria is not a reliable parameter to control the effectiveness of viral depuration.

Stable multiwavelength dispersion-tuned actively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber ring laser using nonlinear polarization rotation

We demonstrate a stable multiwavelength actively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser at 10 GHz based on a dispersion cavity and nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) effect. The dispersion cavity allows simultaneous multiple wavelengths to satisfy the round-trip condition and smooth wavelength tuning, while the NPR ensures the stable operation and supermode noise suppression. A simple model is developed to explore the optimal setting of the cavity. Simultaneous dual- and five-wavelength operation is experimentally investigated.     

Large-scale biomedical image analysis in grid environments

This paper presents the application of a component-based Grid middleware system for processing extremely large images obtained from digital microscopy devices. We have developed parallel, out-of-core techniques for different classes of data processing operations employed on images from confocal microscopy scanners. These techniques are combined into a data preprocessing and analysis pipeline using the component-based middleware system. The experimental results show that: 1) our implementation achieves good performance and can handle very large datasets on high-performance Grid nodes, consisting of computation and/or storage clusters and 2) it can take advantage of Grid nodes connected over high-bandwidth wide-area networks by combining task and data parallelism.
