The behaviour of microcracks in silicon during thermal annealing has been studied using
An attractive alternative to bone autografts is the use of autologous mesenchymal progenitor cells (MSCs) in combination with biomaterials. We compared therapeutic potential different sources stem biomaterials a nonunion model. A critical-size defect was created Sprague-Dawley rats. Animals were divided into six groups, depending on treatment be applied: left empty (CTL); treated live allograft (LBA); hrBMP-2 collagen scaffold (CSBMP2 ); acellular polycaprolactone (PCL group); PCL containing...
Biomechanical properties of adipose tissue (AT) are closely involved in the development obesity-associated comorbidities. Bariatric surgery (BS) constitutes most effective option for a sustained weight loss addition to improving metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed determine impact achieved by BS and caloric restriction (CR) on biomechanical AT. but not CR changed epididymal white AT (EWAT) from diet-induced obesity rat model, which were associated with improvements....
High-resolution X-ray diffraction imaging of 200 mm silicon wafers following rapid thermal annealing at a temperature 1270 K has revealed the presence many early stage sources slip associated with wafer edge. Dislocation are primarily extremity, though generated by damage edge bevel incline on surface. A smaller fraction is other regions localized damage, probably relating to protrusions support. The geometry latter similar that dislocation controlled indentation It concluded spike high does...
We show that x-ray diffraction imaging (topography) and finite-element modelling can determine accurately the probability of propagation individual cracks in brittle single crystal materials. The image crack provides a critical parameter for which informs predictive model, enabling us to identify defects lead catastrophic shattering silicon wafers during high temperature thermal processing. Wafers fracture on cooling finite element shows that, cooling, tangential stress at wafer edge is...
The nucleation of dislocations at controlled indents in silicon during rapid thermal annealing has been studied by situ X-ray diffraction imaging (topography). Concentric loops extending over pairs inclined {111} planes were formed, the velocities and parallel segments being almost equal. Following loss screw segment from wafer, velocity doubled, owing to removal line tension segments. acted as obstacles slip band propagation.
Abstract We describe a rapid digital system for X‐ray diffraction imaging and demonstrate its application to the real‐time identification of edge defects in silicon wafer that had been subjected thermal annealing. The situ study slip nucleation at location mechanical defects, indents thermocouple, subsequent dislocation dynamics is presented.
X-ray diffraction imaging of 200 mm diameter (100) oriented double-side polished silicon wafers has revealed that the slip band distribution, following rapid thermal annealing (RTA), a lower symmetry than predicted from material crystallography. Finite element (FE) modelling processes been undertaken and it is found that, in order to predict measured temperature distribution during sequence commercial RTA furnace, an anisotropic heat flux furnace must be included. When such used wafer...
