description: Two dimensional (2D) integration has been the traditional approach for IC integration. Due to increasing demands for providing electronic devices with superior performance and functionality in more efficient and compact packages, has driven the semiconductor industry to develop more advanced packaging technologies. Three-dimensional (3D) approaches address both miniaturization and integration required for advanced and portable electronic products. Vertical integration proved to be essential in achieving a greater integration flexibility of disparate technologies, reason for which a general trend of transition from 2D to 3D integration is currently being observed in the industry. 3D chip integration using through silicon via (TSV) copper is considered one of the most advanced technologies among all different types of 3D packaging technologies. Copper electrodeposition is one of technologies that enable the formation of TSV structures. Because of its well-known application for copper damascene, it was believed that its transfer to filling TSV vias would be easily adopted. However, as any new technology at its beginning, there are several challenges that need to be addressed and resolved before becoming a fully mature technology. This paper will address the TSV fill processes using copper electrodeposition, the advantages as well as difficulties associated with this technology and approaches taken to overcome them. Electrochemical characterization of the organics behavior and their effect on via filling will be presented. The effect of wafer design on process performance and throughput, including necessary process optimizations that are required for achieving void-free via filling while reducing the processing time, will be discussed.

description: When applying a statistical method in practice it often occurs that some observations deviate from the usual assumptions. However, many classical methods are sensitive to outliers. The goal of robust statistics is to develop methods that are robust against the possibility that one or several unannounced outliers may occur anywhere in the data. These methods then allow to detect outlying observations by their residuals from a robust fit. We focus on high-breakdown methods, which can deal with a substantial fraction of outliers in the data. We give an overview of recent high-breakdown robust methods for multivariate settings such as covariance estimation, multiple and multivariate regression, discriminant analysis, principal components and multivariate calibration.

description: 3D-Integration is a promising technology towards higher interconnect densities and shorter wiring lengths between multiple chip stacks, thus achieving a very high performance level combined with low power consumption. This technology also offers the possibility to build up systems with high complexity just by combining devices of different technologies. For ultra thin silicon is the base of this integration technology, the fundamental processing steps will be described, as well as appropriate handling concepts. Three main concepts for 3D integration have been developed at IZM. The approach with the greatest flexibility called Inter Chip Via - Solid Liquid Interdiffusion (ICV-SLID) is introduced. This is a chip-to-wafer stacking technology which combines the advantages of the Inter Chip Via (ICV) process and the solid-liquid-interdiffusion technique (SLID) of copper and tin. The fully modular ICV-SLID concept allows the formation of multiple device stacks. A test chip was designed and the total process sequence of the ICV-SLID technology for the realization of a three-layer chip-to-wafer stack was demonstrated. The proposed wafer-level 3D integration concept has the potential for low cost fabrication of multi-layer high-performance 3D-SoCs and is well suited as a replacement for embedded technologies based on monolithic integration. To address yield issues a wafer-level chip-scale handling is presented as well, to select known-good dies and work on them with wafer-level process sequences before joining them to integrated stacks.

ESR spin probe and spin labelled studies of cardiolipin
Creators: name: Yip, Louie Foon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The phospholipid, diphosphatidylglycerol (cardiolipin) forms liquid-crystalline phases having lamellar and hexagonal structures depending on the amount of water, the temperature and the presence of cations. ESR studies of cardiolipin in the lamellar and.the hexagonal phases using the 5-doxyl stearic acid spin probe were repeated to resolve a discrepency in the results reported in the literature. The spin probe was further used to follow the lamellar to hexagonal phase transition of cardiolipin as the Ca²⁺ concentration is increased from 0.0 to 50 mole % of Ca²⁺. Cardiolipin has been spin labelled at the polar head group by reaction with (2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline-1-oxyl-3-carboxyl)-p-toluenesulfonate. The spin labelled cardiolipin (SLCL) was characterized using TLC and ESR. The SLCL was used in the ESR study of cardiolipin in the various phases. The results from this work indicate with the use of spin probes and spin labels, it is possible to distinguish the different phases of cardiolipin. Furthermore the results suggest that non-bilayer structures exist between 9 to 29 mole % of Ca²⁺. The data can be interpreted in terms of a temperature induced lateral phase separation of inverted micelles.

description: We show how it is possible to more than double the on-site interaction energy of neutral atoms in optical potentials by the technique of radio-frequency (rf) dressing, while maintaining interwell dynamics. We calculate Bose-Hubbard parameters for rf dressed optical lattices and arrays of rf dressed dipole traps. We show that decreasing the distance between wells, by the interpolation of wells confining different m_F states, increases the interaction energy more than decreasing the height of the classically forbidden region between existing wells. The schemes we propose have negligible Landau-Zener losses caused by atomic motion; this was a dominant effect in the first experimental demonstration of the modification of an optical potential by radio-frequency dressing.

description: Emerging 3D chips stacking and MEMS/Sensors packaging technologies are using DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) to etch through-silicon via (TSV) for advanced interconnections. The interconnection step can be done prior to or post CMOS manufacturing, each requiring different etch process performances. A review of the DRIE capability in terms of etching profile, etch rate, etch depth has been carried out. Excellent tool flexibility allows a wide range of basic and complex profiles to be achieved. Unlike other techniques, DRIE has the capability to etch feature sizes ranging from sub-micron to millimeter width. The main specificity of the DRIE is that etch rate is sensitive to the total exposed area and the aspect ratio. For the TSV applications, where the total exposed area is lower than 10%, high etch rates are achievable. A study has also been done to highlight the importance of via profile for the success of the refilling step. In addition, due to the high flexibility of DRIE, we also explore the capability of using this technique for wafer thinning and plasma die separation.

description: This paper presents the study of an original closed-loop conditioning approach for fully-integrated convective inertial sensors. The method is applied to an accelerometer manufactured on a standard CMOS technology using an auto-aligned bulk etching step. Using the thermal behavior of the sensor as a summing function, a first order sigma-delta modulator is built. This "electro-physical" modulator realizes an analog-to-digital conversion of the signal. Besides the feedback scheme should improve the sensor performance.

description: © 2019 Wang, Yu, Li, Wang, Tang, Liu, Liu, Xie and Jin. The amendment of crop residues produced under elevated CO2 (eCO2) may alter soil microbial community structure and their functions on residue decomposition and carbon (C) cycling in soil. The key to understanding this process is to elucidate the structure of prokaryotic communities that metabolize crop residues derived from eCO2. A soil incubation experiment was conducted to explore the response of soil microbial community to the amendment of13 C-labeled soybean residues produced under ambient CO2 (aCO2) and eCO2. The residues were applied to a Mollisol, followed by13 C-DNA stable isotope probing (SIP) and Illumina sequencing on soil prokaryotic community over time. The structure of residue-metabolizing community differed in response to the amendment of eCO2-and aCO2-derived residues after 28 days of incubation. In particular, genera Actinomadura, Nocardia, Non-omuraea, and Shimazuella were the dominant members of the residue-metabolizing bacteria, which contributed to this difference. The relative abundances of genera Actinomadura, Nocardia and Shimazuella were 118–144%, 71–113%, and 2–4-fold higher in the Mollisol amended with aCO2-derived than eCO2-derived residue. In contrast, the relative abundance of Non-omuraea was 87–90% greater in the eCO2-residue treatment. However, during the incubation period, there was no difference between the two residue treatments in the community structure as a whole without SIP. These results implied that a pioneering prokaryotic community metabolized the residue initially prior to the entire community. Those bacteria genera being inhibited with the amendment of the eCO2-derived residue, compared to aCO2-derived residue, were likely preferential to metabolize recalcitrant C, which might be associated with changes of chemical composition of the residue under eCO2.

description: The aminated hydrous stannic oxide-polyacrylonitrile (Am-HSO-PAN) composite beads were developed for the efficient removal of arsenic species from contaminated water. These beads exhibited high adsorption capacities for both As(III) and As(V), with the amination of PAN significantly enhancing the adsorption of As(V). Adsorption experiments revealed that the beads maintained high efficiency within pHeq ranges of 2–9 for As(III) and 5–7 for As(V) and even in the presence of competing anions. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics indicated that As(III) and As(V) adsorption occurred through different mechanisms, with the beads showing maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of 33.0 mg/g for As(III) and 92.6 mg/g for As(V). Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous. The beads also showed stable performance over multiple regeneration cycles, demonstrating their potential as a cost-effective and efficient adsorbent for arsenic removal.

description: Following the trend of other safety-critical industries like automotive and avionics, the space domain is witnessing an increase in the on-board computing performance demands. This raise in performance needs comes from both control and payload parts of the spacecraft and calls for advanced electronics systems able to provide high computational power under the constraints of the harsh space environment. On the non-technical side, for strategic reasons it is mandatory to get European independence on the used computing technology. In this project, we study the applicability of embedded GPUs in space, which have shown a dramatic improvement of their performance per-watt ratio coming from their proliferation in consumer markets based on competitive European technology. To that end, we perform an analysis of the existing space application domains to identify which software domains can benefit from their use. Moreover, we survey the embedded GPU domain in order to assess whether embedded GPUs can provide the required computational power and identify the challenges which need to be addressed for their adoption in space. In this paper, we describe the steps followed in the project, as well as a summary of results obtained from our analyses so far in the project.

description: The interactions between porphyrins and related tetrapyrrolic macrocycles play many varied and important biological functions. In many of these systems the tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, whilst not covalently linked, are closely associated and the proximity and relative orientations are of critical importance. This thesis describes the synthesis of a covalently bislinked dimeric porphyrin. Our approach consists of constructing a single link first, and building a porphyrin onto either end, simultaneously, in symmetrical fashion via an a,c-biladiene. A variety of methenes were produced to enable the synthesis of porphyrins with reactive side-chains diagonally opposed to the first link. Singly linked porphyrins with C₆, C₈ and C₁₀ chains were produced. The porphyrin side chains were then modified to produce a terminal acetylene diagonally opposed to the first link. The second link was then achieved by an oxidative coupling and catalytic hydrogenation to yield a bislinked porphyrin dimer with two hydrocarbon chains. A model reaction is also described in which a mono-meric porphyrin was dimerised to assess the feasibility of the side chain modification and the final oxidative coupling reaction to produce the singly linked dimer.

description: Is a philosophical cosmology still possible today? It is not only possible, but even necessary, as we live in the global age and need to explain what “world” and “cosmopolitanism” deeply mean.  Sketching these issues, the paper illustrates some crucial aspects of Scheler’s Weltoffenheit, a formula which both helps to renew the paradigm of Great Chain of Being and to understand our dramatic worldness. In this context emerges the key role of the Person in his “cosmogonic” commitment to improve our coexistence on the Earth.

description: A unique cognitive capability of humans consists in their ability to acquire new knowledge and skills from a sequence of experiences. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence systems are good at learning only the last given task without being able to remember the databases learnt in the past. We propose a novel lifelong learning methodology by employing a Teacher-Student network framework. While the Student module is trained with a new given database, the Teacher module would remind the Student about the information learnt in the past. The Teacher, implemented by a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), is trained to preserve and replay past knowledge corresponding to the probabilistic representations of previously learn databases. Meanwhile, the Student module is implemented by a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) which infers its latent variable representation from both the output of the Teacher module as well as from the newly available database. Moreover, the Student module is trained to capture both continuous and discrete underlying data representations across different domains. The proposed lifelong learning framework is applied in supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised training. The code is available~: \url{https://github.com/dtuzi123/Lifelong-Teacher-Student-Network-Learning}

description: Part of a collection of letters from award-winning British poet and scholar Kathleen Raine to Percy Jarrett, owner of the dealership Philobiblion which specialized in literary books and manuscripts. Most of the letters discuss the negotiation of sales of Raine’s manuscript material (of which Irvine Library at the University of California was the primary buyer), the periodical Temenos, that Raine co-founded; and Jarret’s son-in law Robin Skelton, who was a poet and Professor of English Literature at the University of Victoria. In this letter, Raine has second thoughts about accepting an offer to buy her manuscripts materials because it is a lower sum than expected.
Studies directed towards the synthesis of (±)-stemodin, a tetracyclic diterpenoid
Creators: name: Abeysekera, Brian Frederick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis describes studies directed toward the synthesis of a new class of tetracyclic diterpenoids represented by aphidicolin 7 and stemodin 8. A feasible route to stemodin is established, while the similar route planned for aphidicolin 7 is shown to be non-viable. Well established procedures were utilized to convert the Wleland -Miescher ketone 101 into the bicyclic ketal ketone 57. This was converted into the key intermediate, the tricyclic enone 56, using a new cyclopentenone annulating sequence which compared quite favourably with procedures presently available. This sequence was as follows: the readily available keto phosphonate 75 was converted into its enol ether 79, and allylic bromination with N-bromosuccinimide afforded the bromo compound 81, an excellent alkylating agent. This material was used to alkylate the enolate anions of various ketones, including 57. The sequence is illustrated for cyclohexanone 82, the enolate anion of which on treatment with 81 gave 83. Acid hydrolysis of the enol ether moiety in 83 gave the diketo phosphonate 93 which was cyclized to the enone 97 using the Horner - Emmons reaction. The photoaddition of allene to the enone 56 was previously studied in this laboratory and was reported to yield two photoadducts. While the work described in this thesis supports the structure previously assigned to one of the photoadducts (61), a new structure (109) is proposed for the other. This proposal is based on the conversion of both photoadducts by ozonolysis and subsequent sodium methoxide treatment into the same keto ester 55. The keto ester 55 was subsequently elaborated into the tetracyclic dione 132 in a number of steps, the key reaction in this sequence being a Thorpe-Ziegler condensation. [See thesis for diagrams].

description: We discuss an asymmetric energy model (AEM) introduced by Giardina et al. in \cite{7}. This model is expected to belong to the KPZ class. We obtain lower bounds for the diffusion coefficient. In particular, the diffusion coefficient is diverging in dimension one and two as it is expected in the KPZ picture.

description: Graphene has many unique properties which make it an attractive material for fundamental study as well as for potential applications. In this paper, we report the first experimental study of process-induced defects and stress in graphene using Raman spectroscopy and imaging. While defects lead to the observation of defect-related Raman bands, stress causes shift in phonon frequency. A compressive stress (as high as 2.1 GPa) was induced in graphene by depositing a 5 nm SiO2 followed by annealing, whereas a tensile stress (~ 0.7 GPa) was obtained by depositing a thin silicon capping layer. In the former case, both the magnitude of the compressive stress and number of graphene layers can be controlled or modified by the annealing temperature. As both the stress and thickness affect the physical properties of graphene, this study may open up the possibility of utilizing thickness and stress engineering to improve the performance of graphene-based devices. Local heating techniques may be used to either induce the stress or reduce the thickness selectively.

description: We consider a stochastic heat conduction model for solids composed by N interacting atoms. The system is in contact with two heat baths at different temperature $T_\ell$ and $T_r$. The bulk dynamics conserve two quantities: the energy and the deformation between atoms. If $T_\ell \neq T_r$, a heat flux takes place in the system. For large $N$, the system adopts a linear temperature profile between $T_\ell$ and $T_r$. We establish the hydrodynamic limit for the two conserved quantities. We introduce the fluctuations field of the energy and of the deformation in the non-equilibrium steady state. As $N$ goes to infinity, we show that this field converges to a Gaussian field and we compute the limiting covariance matrix. The main contribution of the paper is the study of large deviations for the temperature profile in the non-equilibrium stationary state. A variational formula for the rate function is derived following the recent macroscopic fluctuation theory of Bertini et al.

description: The Through Silicon Via (TSV) process developed by Silex provides down to 30 micrometers pitch for through wafer connections in up to 600 micrometers thick substrates. Integrated with MEMS designs it enables significantly reduced die size and true "Wafer Level Packaging" - features that are particularly important in consumer market applications. The TSV technology also enables integration of advanced interconnect functions in optical MEMS, sensors and microfluidic devices. In addition the Via technology opens for very interesting possibilities considering integration with CMOS processing. With several companies using the process already today, qualified volume manufacturing in place and a line-up of potential users, the process is becoming a standard in the MEMS industry. We provide a introduction to the via formation process and also present some on the novel solutions made available by the technology.

Pairing symmetry and properties of iron-based high temperature superconductors

description: Pairing symmetry is important to indentify the pairing mechanism. The analysis becomes particularly timely and important for the newly discovered iron-based multi-orbital superconductors. From group theory point of view we classified all pairing matrices (in the orbital space) that carry irreducible representations of the system. The quasiparticle gap falls into three categories: full, nodal and gapless. The nodal-gap states show conventional Volovik effect even for on-site pairing. The gapless states are odd in orbital space, have a negative superfluid density and are therefore unstable. In connection to experiments we proposed possible pairing states and implications for the pairing mechanism.

Rejection of Power Supply Noise in Wheatstone Bridges : Application to Piezoresistive MEMS

description: This paper deals with the design of MEMS using piezoresistivity as transduction principle. It is demonstrated that when the sensor topology doesn't allow a perfect matching of strain gauges, the resolution is limited by the ability of the conditioning circuit (typically a Wheatstone bridge) to reject power supply noise. As this ability is strongly reduced when an offset voltage is present at the output of the bridge, the proposed architecture implements a feedback loop to control MOS transistors inserted in the Wheatstone bridge to compensate resistor mismatches. This feedback exhibits a very good offset cancellation and therefore a better resolution is achieved.

Hot Subdwarfs in Binaries as the Source of the Far-UV Excess in Elliptical Galaxies

description: The excess of far-ultraviolet (far-UV) radiation in elliptical galaxies has remained one of their most enduring puzzles. In contrast, the origin of old blue stars in the Milky Way, hot subdwarfs, is now reasonably well understood: they are hot stars that have lost their hydrogen envelopes by various binary interactions. Here, we review the main evolutionary channels that produce hot subdwarfs in the Galaxy and present the results of binary population synthesis simulations that reproduce the main properties of the Galactic hot-subdwarf population. Applying the same model to elliptical galaxies, we show how this model can explain the main observational properties of the far-UV excess, including the far-UV spectrum, without the need to invoke ad hoc physical processes. The model implies that the UV excess is not a sign of age, as has been postulated previously, and predicts that it should not be strongly dependent on the metallicity of the population.

description: In this paper we present the latest version of the TCAD environment BICEP'S (Braunschweigs Integrated CAD-Environment for Product Planning and Process Simulation). By using a central process database, which allows the exchange of all relevant process data it is able to overcome many of the mentioned obstacles. The database and process planning tool can be used by process developers to document changes in process settings and the influence of such changes on the process result. This information can then be used by the designers to set-up a simulation file for a detailed analysis of the impact of such parameter changes on the requested design. This will be shown by the example of silicon etching using an atomistic etch simulator.

Electric field induced injection and shift currents in zigzag graphene nanoribbons

description: We theoretically investigate the one-color injection currents and shift currents in zigzag graphene nanoribbons with applying a static electric field across the ribbon, which breaks the inversion symmetry to generate nonzero second order optical responses by dipole interaction. These two types of currents can be separately excited by specific light polarization, circularly polarized lights for injection currents and linearly polarized lights for shift currents. Based on a tight binding model formed by carbon 2p$_z$ orbitals, we numerically calculate the spectra of injection coefficients and shift conductivities, as well as their dependence on the static field strength and ribbon width. The spectra show many peaks associated with the optical transition between different subbands, and the positions and amplitudes of these peaks can be effectively controlled by the static electric field. By constructing a simple two band model, the static electric fields are found to modify the edge states in a nonperturbative way, and their associated optical transitions dominate the current generation at low photon energies. For typical parameters, such as a static field 10$^6$ V/m and light intensity 0.1 GW/cm$^2$, the magnitude of the injection and shift currents for a ribbon with width 5 nm can be as large as the order of 1 $μ$A. Our results provide a physical basis for realizing passive optoelectronic devices based on graphene nanoribbons.
