A NEW TYPE OF SILICON-ON-INSULATOR WITH A PERFECT SURFACE SILICON LAYER

A novel silicon structure consisting of a silicon-on-defect layer (SODL), with enhanced surface Hall mobility in the surface layer on a buried defect layer (DL), has been discovered [J. Li, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B59/60 (1991) 1053]. SODL material was formed by using proton implantation and subsequent two-step annealing. The implantation was carried out with a Varian 350D ion implanter. Based on the discovery, a standard measurement method (current-voltage curve method) was adopted to measure the true resistivity value of the DL in order to replace the spreading resistivity measurement by which the true resistivity in seriously defective silicon cannot be obtained. By adopting the current-voltage current method, the true resistivity value of the DL is measured to be 4.2 x 10(9) OMEGA cm. The SODL material was proved to be a silicon-on-insulator substrate.

NEW TYPE OF SILICON MATERIAL WITH VERY HIGH-QUALITY SURFACE-LAYER ON INSULATING DEFECT LAYER

A new-type silicon material, silicon on defect layer (SODL) was proved to have a very high quality surface microstructure which is necessary for commercially feasible high-density very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). The structure of the SODL material was viewed by transmission electron microscopy. The SODL material was also proved to have a buried defect layer with an insulating resistivity of 5.7 x 10(10) OMEGA-cm.

Capillary electrochromatographic separation of enantiomers on chemically bonded type of cellulose derivative chiral stationary phases with a positively charged spacer

Positively charged chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were prepared for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) separation of enantiomers by chemically immobilizing cellulose derivatives onto diethylenetriaminopropylated silica (DEAPS) with tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) as a spacer reagent. Anodic electroosmotic mobility was observed in both nonaqueous and aqueous mobile phases due to the positively charged amines on the surface of the prepared CSPs. For comparison, the traditionally used 3-aminopropyl silica (APS) was also adopted as the base material instead of DEAPS to prepare CSP. It was observed that the EOF on the DEAPS-based CSP was 18%-60% higher than that on the APS-based CSP under nonaqueous mobile phase conditions. Separation of enantiomers in CEC was performed on the positively charged CSPs with the nonaqueous mobile phases of pure ethanol or mixture of hexane-alcohol and the aqueous phases of acetonitrile-water or 95% ethanol. Fast separation of enantiomers was achieved on the newly prepared CSPs.

Reactive compatibilization of LLDPE/PS blends with a new type of Lewis acid as catalyst

The reactive compatibilization of LLDPE/PS (50/50 wt%) was achieved by Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction with a combined Lewis acids (Me3SiCl and InCl3 center dot 4H(2)O) as catalyst. The graft copolymer at the interface was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the morphology of the blends was analysized by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the combined Lewis acids had catalytic effect on Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction between LLDPE and PS, and the catalytic effect was maximal when the molar ratio of InCl3 center dot 4H(2)O to Me3SiCl was 1:5. The graft copolymer LLDPE-g-PS was formed via the F-C reaction and worked as a tailor-made compatibilizer to reduce the interfacial tension. The mechanical properties of reactive blend with combined Lewis acids as catalyst was notably improved compared to that of physical LLDPE/PS blend and serious degradation had been decreased compared to the reactive blend system with AlCl3 as catalyst; we interpreted the above results in term of acidity of combined Lewis acids.

The system Al2O3-B2O3 containing Ce3+ and Tb3+ ions was investigated for the first time. It was found that certain compositions give rise to a new highly efficient green luminescent material.

A new type of polymer-supported metallocene catalyst for ethylene polymerization

A new polymer-supported metallocene catalyst has been prepared, The polymer-supported metallocene displayed considerably high activity in ethylene polymerization, the highest being 3.62x10(7) gPE/molZr.h, the molecular weight of the polyethylene produced was Mn = 1.29x10(5). about 3-4 times those of corresponding homogeneous zirconocenes. The polymer-supported metallocene keeps the characteristics of homogeneous metallocene catalysts, and offers some features, such as adaptable to gas phase and slurry processes: easy to prepare in low cost: relatively high activity and lower MAO/Zr ratio; lower inorganic residues in the polyolefins as compared to cases of SiO2, Al2O3 or MgCl2; unitary active structure, no complex surface as with SiO2; good control of morphology of the resulting polymer.
