Furthermore, a confinement structure in the vertical direction is also important in the 2-dimensional (2D) PCs.

The direct detection of underivatized DNA is advantageous for the analysis of very small amounts of sample, where contamination is a major concern. DNA probes can be attached in microchannels present on the chip via a biotin/avidin linkage. The sample is then introduced into the channel where an appropriate DNA target hybridizes with its complementary probe. Following hybridization of the target, an alkaline buffer is introduced to the channel to dehybridize the double-stranded DNA and flush the target downstream to a copper electrode. The dehybridized DNA is then detected electrochemically. The elution time can be used to identify the particular DNA target since the DNA probes are spatially segregated in the channel. Integrating the detector and the sensing probes on the microfluidic chip allows for an inexpensive and easily fabricated biosensor device for the precise recognition and subsequent detection of a specific complimentary DNA target for diagnosis and genetic screening.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

Adhesion improvement of micro resist patterns has been recognized as an important problem to be solved because of pattern collapse during the development process. A great deal of effort has been made on monitoring the adhesion property, mainly by conventional methods such as SEM observation and peel tests. What seems to be lacking, however, is quantitative and direct analysis. In this regard, we have already proposed the principle of direct analysis for resist pattern adhesion, that is, direct peeling with an AFM tip (DPAT). The purpose of this study is to prove the validity of this novel analysis method experimentally. Concretely, we focus on shape dependency of resist pattern collapse in 170nm size.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

When the laser beam is apart from the pinhole and incident on the photodiode cells placed around it, the relative position of the laser spot from the pinhole can be found by comparing the photocurrents obtained from four photodiode cells. Using this signal as the input of the feedback control, actuators move the pinhole so that the laser beam can pass through the pinhole. In our previous study (1998), a one dimensional version of the automatic alignment was achieved using a Si micromachined pinhole and shape memory alloy actuators. In this study, two dimensional automatic alignment is described.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

Recently, several different MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) devices, which were designed for use in inkjet printers, capacitive pressure sensors, drug delivery devices, chemical reactors, and other similar applications, have included narrow gaps and small holes. We have found a novel technique to fabricate narrow gaps or small holes based on the high boron diffusion etch stop technique. This technique utilizes a boron diffusion anomaly in a narrow space. Such an anomaly has not been reported before and the fabricated structures are very different to what would be expected. In addition, the data from the investigation of these structures serve to point out some interesting new assumptions and suggest a mechanism and method to simulate boron diffusion profiles over a variety of surfaces. This paper describes this new boron diffusion simulator that can predict boron diffusion profiles and details the success of the simulations.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

Accuracy and precision were investigated with the emphasis on improving both dynamic and static precision. Algorithm evaluation was focused at improving the confidence in the measurement, and its correlation with the on-wafer CD. Linearity was compared to known standards as well as absolute pitch values written by an advanced e-beam lithography tool. Another concern that was addressed was contamination due to the beam/sample interaction. Most notably comprised of elemental carbon, the dose/contamination relationship was investigated. Utilizing a KLA-Tencor starlight inspection tool, the dose required to register a surface defect was determined. Subsequent printing of the mask to a wafer, and examination of the same regions on the wafer by the CD-SEM, looked for variations in measured CD to determine whether the contamination affected the printed wafer.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.
