Changing the potential barrier shape after insertion of the /spl delta/-doped layer influences the diode current only slightly. Significant changes were found for Schottky diodes with /spl delta/-doped layers of opposite type conductivity compared with the base semiconductor. The resulting barriers are higher and depend on both the /spl delta/-doped layer position and the doping concentration.","PeriodicalId":303962,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM 2000. Conference Proceedings.

At present, it is still an open question how E and W change by irradiating the detectors with high-energy particles. This paper deals a thorough investigation on the behavior of E and W before and after irradiation carried out in silicon pin diodes as well as in gallium arsenide Schottky diodes by optical-beam-induced current (OBIC) and Surface Potential (SP) measurements. For both kinds of detectors the results are discussed relating them to the radiation-induced deep levels which have been detected by junction spectroscopy.","PeriodicalId":303962,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM 2000.

The Microsystem consists microcantilever with integrated tip, oscillator, and cantilever deflection sensor. The presented here Microsystem scenario allows for formation of d$\"t systems with the same piezoresistive deflection detector, but particulur tip-sensor for sensing dr3erent physicaUchemical values. In this way we designed and fabricated as a basic element, piezoresistive cantilever, which enables surface topography measurements with resolution of 0. Innr. A conductive tip isolatedfrom the cantilever was introduced to obtain microdevice for scanning capacitance microscopy and scanning tunnelling microscopy. With this microprobe we measured capacitance between the micro-tip and the sut$ace in the range of 10°F. Furthermore, a modification of the piezoresistors placement, permits jabrication of the multipurpose systems for lateral force microscopy, which enables measurements offriction forces with the resolution of InN. Based on the 'bimetallic' principe of actuation occurring by the temperature variations cantilever fenrtocalorimeter for detection of heat energy in the range of SOnW/Hz(-O.S) was developed The calorimeter contains also a thin Jlm metal microheater table. It serves possibility to determine the Infrared Radiation absorbed by the sensor and energy andpg mass changes induced by chemical reactions in the chemical& sensitive coating.","PeriodicalId":303962,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM 2000.

As such, it belongs to the more general category of expert ethics. Due to growing social complexity and interconnectedness in general, and in the realm of science, technology and expertise in particular, the effort needed to identify ethical choices has risen equally. Rather than being immediately identifiable as such, ethical choices often take the form of subliminal enticement. Classical approaches, like deontology, teleology or virtue ethics fail to capture this, because they are not sufficiently equipped, to deal with change and with the possibility of self-deception. For an up to date professional ethics, a broader reflexivity is needed that includes reflection on the social processes in which actors are embedded. Ethics then can be conceived as a form of collective quality control. One of the analytical tools that can be used for this purpose is argumentation analysis. Other tools can be adapted from the systems sciences. Subliminal enticement bares some resemblance to Habermas' colonisation of the life world, but stripped of some of its more problematic connotations.","PeriodicalId":303962,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM 2000.
