Abstract We demonstrate that a passive non-contact diagnostic technique, radio emission spectroscopy (RES), provides a sensitive monitor of currents in a low pressure radio frequency (RF) plasma. A near field magnetic loop antenna was used to capture RF emissions from the plasma without perturbing it. The analysis was implemented for a capacitively coupled RF plasma with an RF supply at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. Real-time measurements are captured in scenarios relevant to contemporary challenges faced during semiconductor fabrication (e.g. window coating and wall disturbance). Exploration of the technique for key equipment parameters including applied RF power, chamber pressure, RF bias frequencies and chamber wall cleanliness shows sensitive and repeatable function. In particular, the induced RES signal was found to vary sensitively to pressure changes and we were able to detect pressure and power variations as low as ~2.5 %/mtorr and ~3.5 %/watt, respectively, during the plasma processing during a trial generic plasma process. Finally, we explored the ability of RES to monitor the operation of a multiple frequency low-pressure RF plasma system (f1 = 2 MHz, f2 = 162 MHz) and intermixing products which suggests strongly that the plasma sheaths are the primary source of this non-linear diode mixing effect.

Lecturer attendance record is required by the university to know the presence of lecturers in teaching in class. In general condition, lecturer attendance is recorded on the attendance sheet, or input to web application accessed on a class computer. However, there are some problems in its implementation so that at the end, lecturer presence is carried out using a manual form where the academic staff needs to re-enter the lecturer attendance data into the applications. Based on the above, the authors designed and developed a lecturer attendance information system to record lecturers' attendance using radio frequency identification technology by implementing a near field communication card (NFC Card). The device used to record and read presence data during lectures, by tapping an Mi-fare NFC card to an NFC reader / writer device. The flow of this research method begins with a literature study of NFC card, observe the flow of lecture attendance process and data recorded into lecturer attendance sheet, analyzing the database design, the system design which has compatible with NFC reader and writer devices, designed system interface and continue to develop system. The result is system consists of master data, system attendance, verification and reporting module. The results show that NFC card implementation is more practical for lecturers in conducting lecture attendance and NFC card could be tapped out into an NFC device at a maximum distance up to 7 cm with the reading angle relative to NFC reader/writer with range 00 until 300 can read NFC Card.

Abstract Recently, stretchable electronics combined with wireless technology have been crucial for realizing efficient human-machine interaction. Here, we demonstrate highly stretchable transparent wireless electronics composed of Ag nanofibers coils and functional electronic components for power transfer and information communication. Inspired by natural systems, various patterned Ag nanofibers electrodes with a net structure are fabricated via using lithography and wet etching. The device design is optimized by analyzing the quality factor and radio frequency properties of the coil, considering the effects of strain. Particularly, the wireless transmission efficiency of a five-turn coil drops by approximately only 50% at 10 MHz with the strain of 100%. Moreover, various complex functional wireless electronics are developed using near-field communication and frequency modulation technology for applications in content recognition and long-distance transmission (>1 m), respectively. In summary, the proposed device has considerable potential for applications in artificial electronic skins, human healthcare monitoring and soft robotics.

Further experimental investigations in the microwave field emerging from a composite pupil are reported in order to determine the nature of the wave propagation. The experiments consisted of delay-time measurements as a function of the distance of the detector from the pupil under test, as well as of the phase variation of a radio-frequency signal at 35 MHz that modulated the same microwave carrier at 9.33 GHz. In addition, measurements employing an admittance comparator were made in order to determine the character of the propagation impedance. All results obtained confirmed superluminal behavior in the near field, up to a distance of about 40 cm. These results were then interpreted within the framework of a stochastic model.
