新型高k栅介质材料研究进展

随着半导体技术的不断发展，MOSFET（metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor）的特征尺寸不断缩小，栅介质等效氧化物厚度已小至nm数量级。这时电子的直接隧穿效应将非常显著，将严重影响器件的稳定性和可靠性。因此需要寻找新型高k介质材料，能够在保持和增大栅极电容的同时，使介质层仍保持足够的物理厚度来限制隧穿效应的影响。本文综述了研究高k栅介质材料的意义；MOS栅介质的要求；主要新型高k栅介质材料的最新研究动态；展望了高k介质材料今后发展的主要趋势和需要解决的问题。     

Soluble and conductive polypyrrole copolymers containing silicone tegomers

Soluble and processable conductive copolymers of silicone tegomers and pyrrole were developed. This was easily accomplished by the oxidative polymerization of pyrrole monomer by Ce(IV) salt in the presence of silicone tegomers with hydroxyl chain ends. The resulting copolymers were soluble in dimethylformamide. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H‐NMR, and four‐point probe conductivity, and their surface properties were investigated with contact‐angle measurements. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A preliminary study on boron removal from Kizildere/Turkey geothermal waste water

A study is made of boron removal from Kizildere/Turkey geothermal waste water using the boron selective resin Amberlite IRA 743. The resin in salt form has no boron removal capacity if the solution is unable to neutralize the released acid during the exhaustion period. In the case of Kizildere waste water, with a pH value of 8.9 and high HCO₃⁻ content, single stage regeneration is feasible and the exhausted resin can be regenerated economically. According to a preliminary estimate, the electricity production cost would rise by 1 ¢/kWh.     

Investigation of the Effects of some Parameters in the Production of Chromate from Chromite Ores in Iskenderun Region

The conversion of chromite ore from iskenderun region into chromate was investigated. Firstly, the chromite ore was analysed using conventional chemical methods. Then, the effect of some parameters such as roasting time, temperature and the amount of additives on the conversion efficiency to the chromate was examined. The optimum roasting conditions were determined as 300°C, 2 hours, 10 times the stoichiometrically required amounts of NaClO₃ and 6 times the stoichiometrically required amounts of KOH. Under these conditions, the maximum recovery of chromate was found to be 100%. The product obtained from the roasting process was leached with water to produce a clean chromate solution. The effect of temperature and solid/liquid (S/L) ratio was investigated in the water leaching experiments. The optimum experimental results obtained were 100% at a 1:5 solid to water ratio at 25°C and 20 min leaching period. The chromate solution was purified using conventional purification processes.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly(N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone) grafted sodium alginate hydrogel beads for the controlled release of indomethacin

Graft copolymers of sodium alginate (NaAlg) with N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone were prepared using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. The graft copolymers (NaAlg‐g‐PVP) were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Polymeric hydrogel beads of NaAlg and NaAlg‐g‐PVP were prepared by crosslinking method using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinker in the hydrochloric acid catalyst (HCl) and these beads were used to deliver anti‐inflammatory drug, indomethacin (IM). Chemical stability of the IM after encapsulation into beads was confirmed by FTIR. Preparation conditions of the NaAlg‐g‐PVP beads were optimized by considering the percentage entrapment efficiency, particle size, swelling capacity and their release data. In vitro release studies were performed in simulated gastric fluid (pH 1.2) for the initial 2 h, followed by simulated intestinal fluid (pH 7.4) for 4 h. Effects of GA concentration, exposure time to GA, drug/polymer (d/p) ratio, and concentration of HCl on the release of IM were discussed. It was observed that IM release from the beads decreased with increasing GA concentration and exposure time. IM release also decreases with increasing d/p ratio and HCl concentration. The highest IM release was obtained to be 77% for beads crosslinked with 0.027M GA. Swelling experiments were also performed to compute molecular mass between crosslinks of the beads. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

A histopathologic study of direct pulp-capping with adhesive resins

The concentration of heat-shock proteins of 70 kD (HSP70) in heart tissue has been shown to increase during transient myocardial ischaemia and to persist during several hours of reperfusion. In this study the relationship between the local myocardial HSP70 concentration and blood flow was addressed for control physiological conditions and acute myocardial ischaemia. A specific aim of this study was to address the question of whether low flow areas under control physiological conditions have undergone a transient ischaemia during the preceding hours and thus may be in a state of hibernation or stunning. In 12 anaesthetized, open-chest beagle dogs (6 control and 6 with 60-min coronary artery stenosis) heart rate, mean aortic pressure, mean arterial partial pressure of O2 and partial pressure of CO2 averaged 85+/-16 beats/min, 94+/-14 mmHg, 102+/-17 mmHg and 39+/-6 mmHg, respectively. Regional HSP70 and myocardial blood flow (RMBF) were measured using an HSP70-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the tracer microsphere technique, respectively, in samples of 250 mg wet mass. In the control group the mean RMBF was 1.06+/-0.59 ml.min-1.g-1 and the local HSP70 concentration was 7.08+/-1.03 microg/mg cytosolic protein. Myocardial HSP70 showed a blood flow-independent regional biological heterogeneity, equivalent to a coefficient of variation of 0.31. Local HSP70 concentrations did not differ (P>0.05) between control low and high flow samples, 6.16+/-1.0 vs 6.08+/-0.75 microg/mg cytosolic protein, respectively. However, after 60 min of coronary artery occlusion the local HSP70 concentration increased from 7.08 +/-1.03 to 13.43+/-3.19 microg/mg cytosolic protein (P<0. 001). There was a significant inverse relationship between the percent reduction of local blood flow and HSP70 (r=-0.56, P<0.001). From these results it is concluded that: (1) low flow samples under control physiological conditions are unlikely to be in a state of hibernation or stunning since their HSP70 concentration is normal and (2) the increase in the local HSP70 concentration during myocardial ischaemia reflects the degree of impairment of O2 delivery.     

An experimental study on air window collector having a vertical blind for active solar heating

In this study, an air window collector having vertical black blinds was investigated experimentally under actual outdoor conditions. The vertical blind was installed between two 120 × 80 cm glass panes. It can rotate about the vertical axis. The fully open position makes a 90° angle with the vertical plane. A commercially available blind made of cloth and coated with black paint was tested. The air circulation in the system is provided by a fan parallel to blinds. Various parameters were measured and recorded using a data acquisition system. The effect of these parameters on the thermal performance of the system were determined experimentally.     

Corrosion morphologies on magnesium alloy AZ 91

Initiation and early propagation of pitting and filiform corrosion on bare alloy AZ91 (9% Al, 1% Zn) are investigated by natural immersion corrosion tests, electrochemical measurements and microanalytical studies. Initiation sites are few. Corrosion spreads from these sites first in the form of filiform corrosion for a limited period of time and pitting which later develops into a cellular type of etching. The important factors affecting filiform corrosion are temperature, material structure and degree of polarization at the anodic sites. Filiform attack on AZ91, unlike the classical mechanisms of filiform corrosion on coated metals, is driven by hydrogen evolution reaction on the cathodic sites of the surface, occurs under significant anodic control, propagates at a high, constant speed independent of degree of polarization along preferential paths determined by compositional and crystallographic factors, and is a temporary phenomenon under open circuit conditions. Pitting corrosion is more predominant with decreasing anodic polarization.
