To determine this matter an aging process can be used, where test samples are exposed to environmental conditions. Objective of this research was analyzing reliability of thin-film resistors based on Ohmega-Ply® technology. Resistive material was a nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) alloy (with sheet resistance 25 ¿/sq or 100 ¿/sq) on FR-4 substrate. A number of variables were considered in this study (sheet resistance, geometry of resistor, type of cladding, laser trimming, pulse stress and environmental conditions). Two different accelerated ageing processes ¿ Ex-Situ (samples exposed to elevated temperature and/or relative humidity but resistance measurements made at room temperature) and In-Situ (resistance of test samples performed directly at the ageing conditions) were carried out to perform long-term behavior analysis. The results revealed a significant influence of thickness of resistor, type of cladding and temperature on stability of investigated structures. Signification of other factors was negligible.","PeriodicalId":261643,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Students and Young Scientists Workshop \"Photonics and Microsystems\"","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131937441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sensor operation in the slow-light regime is assumed. The 2D theoretical model is based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) propagation of the electromagnetic field. Linear-defect 2D photonic crystal structures are considered. Optimization is performed according to the following criteria: maximum light coupling efficiency, maximum light extraction efficiency, and maximum light-gas overlap. In the simulations, output signal collection is performed by means of either an output strip waveguide. Antireflection sections suited for individual PhC geometry types, are applied to prevent excessive reflections resulting from the high group velocity of light propagating in the slow-light regime within the PhC. Configurations with and without antireflection sections are compared. Triangular-lattice 2D PhC types are: line-defect crystals and line-defect crystals featuring an additional row of holes that improve the light-gas overlap.","PeriodicalId":261643,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Students and Young Scientists Workshop \"Photonics and Microsystems\"","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130977530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of etching process are strongly dependent on the process parameters and gas mixture applied. The selected mixture of BCl3/Cl2/Ar provides a good stability of plasma and quality of etched heterostructure mesas. The test structures of AlGaN/GaN for the RIE process were grown on a c-plane sapphire in a vertical flow LP-MOVPE (low pressure Metalorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy) system. The surface morphology and topography of mesa structures were studied using atomic force microscope working in tapping mode and scanning electron microscope. The results of etching process for intended process parameters as well as the correlation between the gas mixture, parameters and obtained mesa structures are discussed in this article.","PeriodicalId":261643,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Students and Young Scientists Workshop \"Photonics and Microsystems\"","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116598651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
