Quantum computing offers the potential to revolutionize information processing by exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics. Among the diverse quantum bit (qubit) technologies, silicon‐based semiconductor spin qubits have emerged as a promising contender due to their potential scalability and compatibility with existing semiconductor technologies. In this paper, the latest developments of spin...
This paper addresses the problem of choosing the right sources to solicit data from in sensing applications involving broadcast channels, such as those crowdsensing applications where sources share their observations on social media. The goal is to select sources such that expected fusion error is minimized. We assume that soliciting data from a source incurs a cost and that the cost budget is limited...
This work includes design of microwave plasma source, ICP chamber, laser scribing trials, development of the water soluble mask material and DRIE process. Electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma sources are used for a variety of materials processing applications such as semiconductor etching and deposition. ECR sources has several advantages over reactive ion etchers (RIE) commonly used since the...
This paper develops a simplified dependency model for sources on social networks that is shown to improve the quality of fact-finding -- assessing veracity of observations shared on social media. Recent literature developed a mathematical approach for exploiting social networks, such as Twitter, as noisy sensor networks that report observations on the state of the physical world. It was shown that...
A three-dimensional system-in-package (3-D SiP) based on silicon carriers or an interposer is a fast-emerging technology that offers system design flexibility and the integration of heterogeneous technologies. A passive interposer, which is a way to bridge the feature gap between the integrated circuit (IC) and the package substrate, is a key building block for high performance 3-D systems. The need...
The explosive growth in social network content suggests that the largest “sensor network” yet might be human. Extending the participatory sensing model, this paper explores the prospect of utilizing social networks as sensor networks, which gives rise to an interesting reliable sensing problem. In this problem, individuals are represented by sensors (data sources) who occasionally make observations...
This work investigates the formation of arsenic segregated Ytterbium and Nickel silicide using low-temperature microwave annealing. Two types of dopant segregation approaches, implant-before-silicidation and implantation-through-metal, are performed to examine the electrical properties of the microwave annealed silicide. Results of current-voltage curves and dopant distribution profiles are compared...
For the manufacturing of submicron or deep submicron ULSIs, it is important to completely suppress particles and contamination created on the silicon wafer surface. The tradition concept for cleaning need was used chemical content (APM, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide mixtures) to play a major role. Unfortunately, the SC-1 (APM) had negative effect on surface damage. In recent years, it has been modified...
