ABSTRACTPhase formations in Co thin films (200Å in thickness) reacting with atomically clean Si(100), Ge(100), and Si0.80Ge0.20 epitaxial layer (800Å in thickness on Si(100) substrates) in UHV have been investigated. For the Co/Si system, it is found that CoSi (FeSi structure) is formed at 375°C through a very disordered CoSi phase, and the final CoSi2 phase is formed at 575°C. On the other hand, the Co5Ge7 phase was identified for the Co/Ge samples annealed at 300°C and 450°C and the final CoGe2 phase is formed at 600°C. For the Co/Si0.8 Ge0.20 samples annealed from 400°C to 600°C, Co(Si1−yGey) phases with y∼0.10 were detected, and for annealing at 700°C, only the CoSi2 phase was formed. These results indicate a preferential Co- Si reaction when annealing the Co/SiGe structure. It was also found that the sheet resistance of the reacted thin films depend strongly on annealing temperature.

[8-Neopentylglycine]oxytocin (II) and [8-cycloleucine]oxytocin (III) were prepared by a combination of solid-phase synthesis and fragment condensation. Both analogues exhibited decreased uterotonic potency in vitro, each being about 15-30% that of oxytocin. Analogue II also displayed similarly decreased uterotonic potency in vivo and galactogogic potency. On the other hand, analogue III exhibited almost the same potency as oxytocin in the uterotonic assay in vivo and in the galactogogic assay.

An analysis of the uterotonic potencies of all analogs having substituted L- or D-tyrosine or -phenylalanine in position 2 and L-arginine, D-arginine or D-homoarginine in position 8 was made. The series of analogs already published was completed by the solid phase synthesis of ten new analogs having L- or D-Phe, L- or D-Phe(2-Et), L- or D-Phe(2,4,6-triMe) or D-Tyr(Me) in position 2 and either L- or D-arginine in position 8. All newly synthesized analogs were found to be uterotonic inhibitors. Deamination increases both the agonistic and antagonistic potency. In the case of phenylalanine analogs the change of configuration from L to D in position 2 enhances the uterotonic inhibition for more than 1 order of magnitude. The L to D change in position 8 enhances the inhibitory potency negligibly. Prolongation of the side chain of the D-basic amino acid in position 8 seems to decrease slightly the inhibitory potency if there is L-substituted amino acid in position 2. On the other hand there is a tendency to the increase of the inhibitory potency if there is D-substituted amino acid in position 2.

ABSTRACTThin films of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) were deposited by an ionized beam method. The molecular orientation and chemical structure of the films were studied in connection with ionization and ion acceleration conditions. At a low ionization condition, the molecules are oriented in parallel with the substrate, and the crystallinity was improved by an appropriate ion acceleration. At higher ionization conditions, on the other hand, ion acceleration resulted in a loss of crystallinity. Deposited molecules undergo chemical change in such a condition, leading to dissociation of dianhydride groups.

SiC samples implanted at 600°C with 1018, 1019, or 1020 cm-3 of Al to a depth of ~ 0.3 μm and annealed with a (BN)AlN cap at temperatures ranging from 1300 – 1700°C were studied. Some of the samples have been co-implanted with C or Si. They are examined using Hall, sheet resistivity, CL, EPR, RBS, and TEM measurements. In all instances the sheet resistance is larger than a comparably doped epitaxial layer, with the difference being larger for samples doped to higher levels. The results suggest that not all of the damage can be annealed out, as stable defects appear to form, and a greater number or more complex defects form at the higher concentrations. Further, the defects affect the properties of the Al as no EPR peak is detected for implanted Al, and the implanted Al reduces the AlSi peak intensity in bulk SiC. CL measurements show that there is a peak near 2.9941 eV that disappears only at the highest annealing temperature suggesting it is associated with a complex defect. The DI peaks persist at all annealing temperatures, and are possibly associated with a Si terminated partial dislocation. TEM analyses indicate that the defects are stacking faults and/or dislocations, and that these faulted regions can grow during annealing. This is confirmed by RBS measurements.

ABSTRACTThin films of BIT, La-substituted BIT (BLT) and La- and V-cosubstituted BIT(BLTV) were epitaxially grown on SrRuO3//SrTiO3 substrates at 850°C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and their electrical properties were systematically compared. All films on (100), (110) and (111)-oriented substrates were epitaxially grown with (001)-, (104)-/(014)-and (118) –preferred orientations, respectively. The leakage current density of the BLTV film was almost the same with that of the BLT film, but was smaller than that of BIT film, suggesting that the La substitution contributed to the decrease of the leakage current density especially in pseudoperovskite layer. Spontaneous polarization of the BLTV film was estimated to be almost the same with the BLT film but was smaller that that of the BIT film. This is explained by the decrease of Tc with the La substitution, while V did not contribute to the change of the Curie temperature (Tc ). On the other hand, the coercive field (Ec) value of the BLTV was smaller than that of the BIT and the BLT films. As a result, La substitution contributed to the decrease of the leakage current density together with the decrease of the spontaneous polarization due to the decrease of the Tc. On the other hand, V substitution contributes to the decrease of the defects that suppress the domain motion and increases the Ec value. Therefore, each substitution of La and V plays different roles and this contribution is remarkable for the films deposited at lower temperature.

AbstractThe correlation between microstructures of Al and W metal thin films and their respective CMP performance is investigated. It is found that CMP removal rate decreases with increasing grain size. In both cases, the textures of the metal films are altered and their resistivity increased after CMP. The phenomenon is more pronounced for polish under a greater down force. The table speed, on the other hand, has only minimum effects on microstructure and resistivity. The possible underlying mechanisms leading to this phenomenon are proposed and their potential impacts on metallization reliability is discussed.

ABSTRACTA new method to convert 12CaO7Al2O3 (C12A7) thin films to electronic conductor by hot Ar+ ion implantation has been developed and its mechanism is discussed. It was found that hot Ar+ ion implantation extruded free O2- ions in C12A7 films by kick-out effects at fluences higher than 1×1017 cm−2, which left electrons in the cages embedded in C12A7 crystal and produced high concentration F+-like centers (∼1.4×1021 cm−3). The resulting films show coloration and persistent electronic conduction with conductivities up to ∼1 Scm−1. On the other hand, fluences less than 1×1017 cm−2 kept the films transparent and insulating.

Abstract The use of a single internal standard (ephedrine-d5) as the basis for calculations of the concentrations of both the major and the minor alkaloids leads to incorrect results from variabilities in the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of the ephedra alkaloids. Because the SPE column is overloaded by ephedrine, the recovery of the internal standard, which is dependent on the dilution factor, is decreased. On the other hand, the recoveries of the minor alkaloids (methylephedrine, methylpseudoephedrine, norephedrine, and norpseudoephedrine) stay high because these compounds are less concentrated and do not overload the SPE column. Consequently, the recovery factors for the major and minor alkaloids are different, or the results are incorrect if the same recovery factor is used.
