Charter for Systems Engineer Working Group

This charter establishes the International Space Station Program (ISSP) Mobile Servicing System (MSS) Systems Engineering Working Group (SEWG). The MSS SEWG is established to provide a mechanism for Systems Engineering for the end-to-end MSS function. The MSS end-to-end function includes the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS), the Mobile Remote Servicer (MRS) Base System (MBS), Robotic Work Station (RWS), Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM), Video Signal Converters (VSC), and Operations Control Software (OCS), the Mobile Transporter (MT), and by interfaces between and among these elements, and United States On-Orbit Segment (USOS) distributed systems, and other International Space Station Elements and Payloads, (including the Power Data Grapple Fixtures (PDGFs), MSS Capture Attach System (MCAS) and the Mobile Transporter Capture Latch (MTCL)). This end-to-end function will be supported by the ISS and MSS ground segment facilities. This charter defines the scope and limits of the program authority and document control that is delegated to the SEWG and it also identifies the panel core membership and specific operating policies

Low interface trap density in scaled bilayer gate oxides on 2D materials via nanofog low temperature atomic layer deposition

Al2O3 and Al2O3/HfO2 bilayer gate stacks were directly deposited on the surface of 2D materials via low temperature ALD/CVD of Al2O3 and high temperature ALD of HfO2 without any surface functionalization. The process is self-nucleating even on inert surfaces because a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) component was intentionally produced in the Al2O3 deposition by controlling the purge time between TMA and H2O precursor pulses at 50 °C. The CVD growth component induces formation of sub-1 nm AlOx particles (nanofog) on the surface, providing uniform nucleation centers. The ALD process is consistent with the generation of sub-1 nm gas phase particles which stick to all surfaces and is thus denoted as nanofog ALD. To prove the ALD/CVD Al2O3 nucleation layer has the conformality of a self-limiting process, the nanofog was deposited on a high aspect ratio Si3N4/SiO2/Si pattern surface; conformality of >90% was observed for a sub 2 nm film consistent with a self-limiting process. MoS2 and HOPG (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite) metal oxide semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs) were fabricated with single layer Al2O3 ALD at 50 °C and with the bilayer Al2O3/HfO2 stacks having Cmax of ∼1.1 µF/cm2 and 2.2 µF/cm2 respectively. In addition, Pd/Ti/TiN gates were used to increase Cmax by scavenging oxygen from the oxide layer which demonstrated Cmax of ∼2.7 µF/cm2. This is the highest reported Cmax and Cmax/Leakage of any top gated 2D semiconductor MOSCAP or MOSFET. The gate oxide prepared on a MoS2 substrate results in more than an 80% reduction in Dit compared to a Si0.7Ge0.3(0 0 1) substrate. This is attributed to a Van der Waals interaction between the oxide layer and MoS2 surface instead of a covalent bonding allowing gate oxide deposition without the generation of dangling bonds. © 201
