Abstract In many real-world mixed-integer optimization problems from engineering, the side constraints can be subdivided into two categories: which describe a certain logic to model feasible allocation of resources (such as maximal number available assets, working time requirements, maintenance contractual obligations, etc.), and physical processes related quantities current, pressure, temperature, etc.). While first type often easily stated in terms program (MIP), second part may involve...
In semiconductor manufacturing, the implementation of advanced process control systems has become essential for cost effective manufacturing at high product quality. addition to established methods, new techniques such as virtual metrology, where post-process quality parameters are predicted from and wafer state information need be developed implemented critical steps. This requires a fab-wide approach due objectives VM, which supplement or replace stand-alone in-line metrology operations,...
Thermally grown SiO2 layers were treated by a plasma nitridation process realized in vertical furnace. The combination of pulsed-low frequency and microwave remote with N2/NH3/He feed gas mixture was used to nitride the thermally gate dielectrics MIS structures. Temperature dependency effective masses barrier heights for electrons pure as well nitrided high electric field means Fowler–Nordheim regime determined. It is frequently seen from literature that either electron mass or height...
