Energy typical regions

A semiconductor can be described as a material with a Fermi energy, which typically is located within the energy gap region at any temperature. If a semiconductor is brought into electrical contact with a metal, either an ohmic or a rectifying Schouky contact is formed at the interface. The nature of the contact is determined by the workfunction, (the energetic difference between the Fermi level and the vacuum level), of the semiconductor relative to the mclal (if interface effects are neglected - see below) 47J.

In a design one has to identify the mode(s) to suppress. It usually requires a special type of finite element analysis (FEA), called modal analysis. At CSA detailed FE models use MSC.Nastran (MSC.Software, Santa Ana, CA., USA), running on dual processor HP/Linux machines. Dynamic models typically require less detail than static stress models in order to accurately capture the modal shapes. FE results show the vibrations as strain energy identifying regions of high strain energy shows where vibration suppression methods should be applied.

A photochemical reaction is one in which a species (usually a molecule) interacts with radiant energy, typically in the visible or ultraviolet region of the spectrum, to produce very reactive species. These then undergo further reaction. 

One of the critical surface effects of an atmospheric chemical plasma on a given material is determined by the chemistry of the reactions between the surface and the reactive species present in the plasma. At the low exposure energies typically used for surface treatment, the plasma surface Interactions only change the surface of the material the effects are confined to a region only several molecular layers deep and do not change the bulk properties of the substrate. The resulting surface changes depend on the composition of the surface and the gas used.
