Critical thinking about crosscultural differences between Chinese and Americans in English education in Taiwan
This project is designed to teach crosscultural differences in English education in Taiwan employing a strategy-based curriculum. By comparing crosscultural differences between Taiwan and American cultures, students will have a strong desire to learn English in order to know more about American culture
Copper Metal for Semiconductor Interconnects
Resistance-capacitance (RC) delay produced by the interconnects limits the speed of the integrated circuits from 0.25Â mm technology node. Copper (Cu) had been used to replace aluminum (Al) as an interconnecting conductor in order to reduce the resistance. In this chapter, the deposition method of Cu films and the interconnect fabrication with Cu metallization are introduced. The resulting integration and reliability challenges are addressed as well
Probing the A1 to L10 Transformation in FeCuPt Using the First Order Reversal Curve Method
The A1- L10 phase transformation has been investigated in (001) FeCuPt thin
films prepared by atomic-scale multilayer sputtering and rapid thermal
annealing (RTA). Traditional x-ray diffraction is not always applicable in
generating a true order parameter, due to non-ideal crystallinity of the A1
phase. Using the first-order reversal curve (FORC) method, the A1 and L10
phases are deconvoluted into two distinct features in the FORC distribution,
whose relative intensities change with the RTA temperature. The L10 ordering
takes place via a nucleation-and-growth mode. A magnetization-based phase
fraction is extracted, providing a quantitative measure of the L10 phase
homogeneity.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures, 4 page supplementary material (4 figures
