New annealing processes and explanation for novel silicon pn junctions formed by proton implantation

Proton-implanted n-type Si wafers were annealed at 950 degrees C to achieve novel pn junctions. The novel pn junctions are explained by the combined use of four models. The background (e.g. oxygen impurity) of an Si wafer is suggested to play a key role in creating the novel pn junction.

Thermomagnetic behavior and first order magnetization processes of Sm3Fe29-xTx and Sm3Fe29-xTxN4 (T = V and Cr)

A systematic investigation of structure and intrinsic magnetic properties of the compounds Sm3Fe29-xTx (T = V and Cr) and their nitrides has been performed. Nitrogenation resulted in remarkable improvements in the saturation magnetization and anisotropy fields at 4.2 K and room temperature. First order magnetization processes are observed at around 5.7 T for Sm3Fe26.7V2.3 and around 2.8 T for Sm3Fe24.0Cr5.0 and Sm3Fe24.0Cr5.0N4, respectively. The spin reorientation of the easy magnetization direction of Sm3Fe26.7V2.3 is observed at around 230 K. As a preliminary result, the maximum remanence B-r of 0.94 T, the coercivity mu(0)H(C) of 0.75 T, and the maximum energy product (BH) of 108.5 kJ/m(3) for the nitride magnet Sm3Fe26.7V2.3N4 are achieved by ball-milling at 293 K.

The effects of sapphire substrates processes to the LED efficiency - art. no. 68410M

We investigate the relation between the thickness of sapphire substrates and the extraction efficiency of LED. The increasing about 5% was observed in the simulations and experiments when the sapphire thickness changed from 100um to 200um. But the output power increasing is inconspicuous when the thickness is more than 200um. The structure on bottom face of sapphire substrates can enhance the extraction efficiency of GaN-based LED, too. The difference of output power between the flip-chip LED with smooth bottom surface and the LED with roughness bottom surface is about 50%, where only a common sapphire grinding process is used. But for those LEDs grown on patterned sapphire substrate the difference is only about 10%. Another kind of periodic pattern on the bottom of sapphire is fabricated by the dry etch method, and the output of the back-etched LEDs is improved about 50% than a common. case.

pessimistic predicate/transform model for long running business processes

Many business processes in enterprise applications are both long running and transactional in nature. However, no current transaction model can provide full transaction support for such long running business processes. This paper proposes a new transaction model, the pessimistic predicate/transform (PP/T) model, which can provide full transaction support for long running business processes. A framework was proposed on the enterprise JavaBeans platform to implement the PP/T model. The framework enables application developers to focus on the business logic, with the underlying platform providing the required transactional semantics. The development and maintenance effort are therefore greatly reduced. Simulations show that the model has a sound concurrency management ability for long running business processes.
