Modeling of novel resist technologies

In response to the difficulties posed by the resolution, line edge roughness, sensitivity (RLS) trade-off to traditional chemically amplified resist (CAR) systems used for extreme ultraviolet lithography, a number of novel resist technologies have been proposed. In this paper, the effect of quencher loading on three resist technologies is analyzed via an error propagation-based resist simulator. In order of increasing novelty as well as complexity, they are: Conventional CAR with quencher, CAR with photodecomposable base, and PSCAR 2.0, a CAR system with photodecomposable base as well as an EUV-activated UV-sensitive resist component. Simulation finds the more complicated resist systems trade in an increase in resist stochastics for improved deprotection slopes, yielding a net benefit in terms of line width roughness

Les ressorts psychologiques des " survivants " d'une restructuration : quelques clefs de compréhension pour un " care "management

Actes disponibles sur le site de l'AGRH : http://www.reims-ms.fr/agrh/docs/actes-agrh/pdf-des-actes/2011naulleau.pdfCette communication s'inscrit dans le champ des études sur la relation d'emploi entre une personne et l'institution avec laquelle elle travaille en contexte de restructuration. Elle cherche à comprendre le fonctionnement des ressorts psychologiques qui interviennent dans cette relation à partir d'une étude auprès d'ouvriers d'une entreprise de puériculture qui ont vécu plusieurs restructurations. Nous avons réalisé dans un premier temps une contextualisation de la chronique des restructurations à partir d'une triangulation des données issues des différents entretiens avec 4 managers et l'infirmière de l'entreprise, et, du recueil de documents (bilans sociaux, PSE, revue de presse, etc.). Dans un second temps nous avons réalisé une dizaine d'entretiens semi-directifs auprès de 7 ouvriers et 3 ouvrières présentant une ancienneté moyenne de 15 ans. La communication montre comment la restructuration déclenche un mécanisme psychologique de " besoin de signification " (Lips-Wiersma et Morris, 2009) dont nous éclairons les sources par l'intermédiaire du concept de contrat psychologique (Rousseau, 1995). Nous montrons que la vision trop descriptive et univoque de ce concept échoue à rendre compte de la " dynamique " à l'oeuvre. Grâce à une approche interprétative, la communication revisite et enrichit la compréhension du concept par un retour à ses sources socio-affectives. L'extension des phénomènes de brèche et de violation par le processus du deuil permet ainsi de découvrir la profonde activité psychique et le lien de " sens " qui s'élabore entre la personne et l'entreprise. Notre communication contribue ainsi à une exploration des clés de compréhension de la " signification du travail " à partir de laquelle envisager le management du " care " soucieux de relever les exigences économiques et sociales

A Multicultural Experience Boosted by Specialized European Master: A Real Approach to Internatioanl Project Management

When the Specialized Master in International Project Management started in Madrid in 2009, ESCP Europe, a high-level school of management with international scope, decided to reinforce the European institution and also to foster innovation sustaining a wide international partnership network. Students and executives came from around the world and the school offered them a model of Project Management which prepared them for the multicultural future where geographically dispersed projects teams must collaborate with a common goal. Created in 1988, this Master keeps evolving and is a truly international program with international students and a real methodological revolution in Project Management education including international seminaries and destinations in emerging countries: Either, India and China, or Brazil and Argentina. This Specialized Master makes significant use of inductive teaching methods and interactive activities (project simulations, case studies, business plan development, etc.). This guarantees the skills acquisition needed to work in multidisciplinary, international and multicultural teams. The teaching methods emphasize experimentation and simulation exercises including International Consultancy Projects which requests an intensive use of Information and Communications Technologies in order to enable the international experience

Lateral shearing interferometry for high-NA EUV wavefront metrology

We present a lateral shearing interferometer suitable for high-NA EUV wavefront metrology. In this interferometer, a geometric model is used to accurately characterize and predict systematic errors that come from performing interferometry at high NA. This interferometer is compatible with various optical geometries, including systems where the image plane is tilted with respect to the optical axis, as in the Berkeley MET5. Simulation results show that the systematic errors in tilted geometries can be reduced by aligning the shearing interferometer grating and detector parallel to the image plane. Subsequent residual errors can be removed by linear fitting

Conditions for developing a successful Talent Management Strategy

International audienceThe literature on Talent Management (TM) presupposes an exclusive alignment of TM with the organization's strategy, and the ability of any organization to engage a TM strategy. This article examines these principles by exploring the organizational contingency factors involved in the process of creation / development of TM strategy. We carried out a one-year Action-Research with the business leaders of a French medium-sized company (3 000 employees). We propose a complementary analytical framework to the decision model of Talentship which is focused on a prerequisite diagnosis on organizational capacities in TM strategy implementation

Elaboration d’une stratégie de management du talent : quelques conditions de réussite illustrées par une recherche-action

International audienceLa littérature sur le Management du Talent (TM) présuppose à la fois un alignement exclusif du TM sur la stratégie de l’organisation et une capacité de toute organisation à s’engager dans une stratégie de TM. Cet article interroge ces principes en explorant les facteurs organisationnels de contingence au processus de création / d’élaboration d’une stratégie de TM à partir d’une recherche-action menée pendant un an avec la direction d’une Entreprise de Taille Intermédiaire (3 000 salariés). Il propose un cadre d’analyse complémentaire au modèle décisionnel du talentship orienté sur un diagnostic préalable des capacités organisationnelles à l’implémentation d’une stratégie de TM

Optical signal processing and real world applications

It is common to want to correct signals that have been corrupted by wideband dispersion. If the dispersion is caused by a system whose transfer function has a flat amplitude function and a nonlinear phase function, such as is the case with a ltig periodic antenna, the signal can be corrected via a matched filter. In this paper various optical implementations of the matched filter, including one and two dimensional systems, are investigated. The 2D Fourier Filter, along with several simplifications, demonstrating its power, are simulated. The optical implementations of these systems are also discussed. The problem of phase detection of a spatial signal, which arises when dealing with Fourier transforms, is briefly examined and a system capable of measuring said phase is experimentally implemented. Finally a dual Acousto-Optic matched filter is implemented concentrating on the practical aspects the setup. An exhaustive description of the implementation process is presented including experimental results obtained from each step
