The solubility of water has been measured in several low-dielectric solvents at 25 °C, and the values in the nonpolar solvents are treated by using a modification of the Scatchard–Hildebrand equation. The water–solvent interaction parameter in this equation is represented by a new relationship involving the separate contributions due to dispersion and polar interactions. A new method is given for calculation of the dispersion component of the solubility parameter of a polar species. Formation constants are reported for 1:1 water–solvent complexes in carbon tetrachloride, benzene, toluene, and p-xylene.

AbstractThin films of low dielectric constant (κ) materials such as Xerogel (ĸ=1.76) and SilkTM (ĸ=2.65) were implanted with argon, neon, nitrogen, carbon and helium with 2 x 1015 cm -2 and 1 x 1016 cm -2 dose at energies varying from 50 to 150 keV at room temperature. In this work we discuss the improvement of hardness as well as elasticity of low ĸ dielectric materials by ion implantation. Ultrasonic Force Microscopy (UFM) [6] and Nano indentation technique [5] have been used for qualitative and quantitative measurements respectively. The hardness increased with increasing ion energy and dose of implantation. For a given energy and dose, the hardness improvement varied with ion species. Dramatic improvement of hardness is seen for multi-dose implantation. Among all the implanted ion species (Helium, Carbon, Nitrogen, Neon and Argon), Argon implantation resulted in 5x hardness increase in Xerogel films, sacrificing only a slight increase (∼ 15%) in dielectric constant.

Continuing improvement of microprocessor performance historically involves a decrease in the device size. This allows greater device speed, an increase in device packing density, and an increase in the number of functions that can reside on a single chip. However higher packing density requires a much larger increase in the number of interconnects. This has led to an increase in the number of wiring levels and a reduction in the wiring pitch (sum of the metal line width and the spacing between the metal lines) to increase the wiring density. The problem with this approach is that—as device dimensions shrink to less than 0.25 μm (transistor gate length)—propagation delay, crosstalk noise, and power dissipation due to resistance-capacitance (RC) coupling become significant due to increased wiring capacitance, especially interline capacitance between the metal lines on the same metal level. The smaller line dimensions increase the resistivity (R) of the metal lines, and the narrower interline spacing increases the capacitance (C) between the lines. Thus although the speed of the device will increase as the feature size decreases, the interconnect delay becomes the major fraction of the total delay and limits improvement in device performance.To address these problems, new materials for use as metal lines and interlayer dielectrics (ILD) as well as alternative architectures have been proposed to replace the current Al(Cu) and SiO2 interconnect technology.

Previously, we have reviewed in this journal (Arakawa, T., Kita, Y., Curr. Protein Pept. Sci., 15, 608-620, 2014) the interaction of arginine with proteins and various applications of this solvent additive in the area of protein formulations and downstream processes. In this special issue, we expand the concept of protein-solvent interaction into the analysis of the effects of solvent additives on various column chromatography, including mixed-mode chromatography. Earlier in our research, we have studied the interactions of such a variety of solvent additives as sugars, salts, amino acids, polymers and organic solvents with a variety of proteins, which resulted in mechanistic understanding on their protein stabilization and precipitation effects, the latter known as Hofmeister series. While such a study was then a pure academic research, rapid development of genetic engineering technologies and resultant biotechnologies made it a valuable knowledge in fully utilizing solvent additives in manipulation of protein solution, including column chromatography.
