Process variation, contributors

These are generally independent and concurrent contributors to the overall variation we observe in measuring the properties of interest. They are thus additive. A time plot and a variogram can help identify and quantify these contributors to the process variation. 

Although this scheme uses materials that are readily available, it suffers from low throughput and significant process complexity. In addition, discrepancy and delay between the second resist pattern and the first HM pattern are significant contributors to process variation. Figure 17.16 shows SEM images of 22-nm dense line and space features obtained with this technique. 

Processing conditions have been implicated as contributors to some variations in physical properties. Possible explanations have been proposed in order to stimulate further research. More... 

Implications of Mass Spectrometric Data for Radiation Chemistry. Apart from the positive identification of the ion-molecule reactions in ethyl chloride, the most significant observation from the mass spectrometric studies which has direct application to the radiolysis of this compound is the fact that at pressures greater than ca. 100 /a, essentially the only stable ion in this system is C4Hi0C1+. Therefore, the neutralization of ions as a potential contributor to radiolysis products will be important only for this ion. Moreover, this will hold true even if there are variations in the extent of primary fragmentation with increasing pressure. The radiolysis studies which will now be described assess the contribution of ionic processes to radiolytic yields and provide some indications as to the mode of neutralization of the stable ionic species in the ethyl chloride system. 

Although the Editors and contributors frequently refer to synthetic and, in some cases, processed natural materials as biomaterials, nothing herein should be taken as either an implied or explicit warrantee of the usefulness, safety or efficacy of any material or any grade or variation of any material in any medical device or surgical implant. Such determinations are an intrinsic part of the design, development, manufacture and clinical evaluation process for any device. Rather, the materials listed here should be considered, on the basis of their intrinsic properties and, in many cases, prior use, to be candidates to serve as biomaterials possibly to become parts of successful devices to evaluate, direct, supplement, or replace the functions of living tissues. 

Experimental Various contributors to the panel discussion stressed the continuing need for relevant experimental data. Sengers pointed out that the prediction of thermodynamic properties and phase behavior in the near-critical region requires information on critical loci and surfaces. Both Schneider and Peters mentioned the need for experimental studies to characterize the systematic variations in phase behavior in selected model systems, and Schneider added to this the importance of all types of experimental information, thermodynamic and transport, for materials processing. Sengers emphasized... 

Rate Theory of chromatography a theory of the dispersive (nonequUibiium) processes occurring in a chromatographic column that lead to peak broadening, usually associated with the name of Van Deemter, but Giddings, Golay and Knox are also important contributors expressed in terms of the variation of H with u.
