Linearity and enhanced sensitivity of the Shipley AZ-1350B photoresist

The properties of the Shipley AZ-1350B positive photoresist used with the Shipley AZ-303A developer were investigated. It was found that the use of AZ-303A developer results in a significant improvement of the sensitivity and the linearity of the photoresist. The unexposed etch rate of the photoresist was 35 Å ± 5 Å/sec. Gratings of high efficiency have been successfully fabricated using the above combination of photoresist and developer

Mining developer communication data streams

This paper explores the concepts of modelling a software development project as a process that results in the creation of a continuous stream of data. In terms of the Jazz repository used in this research, one aspect of that stream of data would be developer communication. Such data can be used to create an evolving social network characterized by a range of metrics. This paper presents the application of data stream mining techniques to identify the most useful metrics for predicting build outcomes. Results are presented from applying the Hoeffding Tree classification method used in conjunction with the Adaptive Sliding Window (ADWIN) method for detecting concept drift. The results indicate that only a small number of the available metrics considered have any significance for predicting the outcome of a build

Solar energy emplacement developer

A preliminary design was developed for a Lunar Power System (LPS) composed of photovoltaic arrays and microwave reflectors fabricated from lunar materials. The LPS will collect solar energy on the surface of the Moon, transform it into microwave energy, and beam it back to Earth where it will be converted into usable energy. The Solar Energy Emplacement Developer (SEED) proposed will use a similar sort of solar energy collection and dispersement to power the systems that will construct the LPS

Testing Programs That Contain OpenMP Directives

OpenMP is a standard of compiler directives for C and Fortran programs that allow a developer to parallelize existing code. In this master\u27s project, the topic of tests for code that has been parallelized using OpenMP is addressed. How should a developer test a program to make sure that the directives have not modified the expected results of the code
