The resonant frequencies and vibration mode shapes of the transducer were computed using finite element method (FEM) and were compared with the experimental resonant frequencies and displacement distributions. Good agreements between the computed and experimental results were obtained. The desirable second axial mode was found and proven to be the dominant mode of the transduces that facilitates the bonding process. Characteristics of the transducer under different input power were also studied. Results show that its performance is good and high quality bonds can be formed.","PeriodicalId":183235,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.

A study of S/sub V/(f) as a function of the biasing condition was conducted in detail and was found to vary as V/sub G//sup 2//(V/sub G/-V/sub T/)/sup /spl beta// where /spl beta/ is a function of temperature. Analyses of the data showed that the noise originated from thermal activation of carriers to localized states in the channel area. The experimental data indicated that number fluctuations were not a major factor in the observed noise. However, more work is needed to determine if surface mobility fluctuations played a key role in the 1/f noise.","PeriodicalId":183235,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.

The intermixed structures created by both impurity induced and impurity free or vacancy promoted processes have recently attracted high attention. The interdiffusion mechanism is no longer confined to a single phase diffusion for two constituent atoms, but it can now consist of two or multiple phases and/or multiple species, such as three cations interdiffusion and two pairs of cation-anion interdiffusion. A review on the impact of intermixing on device physics is presented with many interesting features. For instance, both compressive or tensile strain materials and both blue or red shifts in the bandgap can be achieved depending on the types of intermixing. The recent advancement in intermixing modified optical properties, such as absorption, refractive index as well as electro-optic effects are discussed. In addition, this paper places a strong emphasis on the device application of the intermixing technology. The advantage of being able to tune the material provides a way to improve the performance of photodetectors and modulators. Attractive distributed-feedback and vertical cavity laser dynamics have been shown due to some unique device physics of the quantum well intermixing. Several state-of-the-art results will be summarized with an emphasis on its future development and directions.","PeriodicalId":183235,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 Hong Kong Electron Devices Meeting (Cat.
