Lithography is the process of transferring patterns of geometric shapes in a mask to a radiation sensitive material called resist,which cover the surface of semiconductor wafer.
Lithography is the process of transferring patterns of geometric shapes in a mask to a radiation sensitive material called resist,which cover the surface of semiconductor wafer.
Electron beam lithography (often abbreviated as e-beam lithography or EBL) is the process of transferring a pattern onto the surface of a substrate by first scanning a thin layer of organic film (called resist) on the surface by a tightly focused and precisely controlled electron beam (exposure) and then selectively removing the exposed or nonexposed regions of the resist in a solvent (developing). The process allows patterning of very small features, often with the dimensions of submicrometer down to a few nanometers, either covering the selected areas of the surface by the resist or exposing otherwise resist-covered areas. The exposed areas could be further processed for etching or thin-film deposition while the covered parts are protected during these processes. The advantage of e-beam lithography stems from the shorter wavelength of accelerated electrons compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) light used in photolithography.
In EBL, a resist layer is directly patterned by scanning with an electron beam electronically. Modern EBL systems have very good depth of focus (several hundred nanometres) and are able to correct for large-scale height variations of the wafer (of several hundred microns), and so are able to cope well with the rough surface topology of typical GaN wafers and associated wafer bow. EBL also has the advantage of allowing multiple designs to be fabricated together on one wafer. EBL is, however, a slow and expensive process, which is not practical for production. Substrate charging and proximity error effects must be taken into account to get good quality devices. Charging effects can be overcome by application of a sub-nanoscale removable conductive layer on top of the resist. Proximity error correction effects are overcome using specialised design correction software.
A brief overview of the processes involved in nanolithography & nanopatterning. It mainly discusses the steps, mechanism & instrumentation of the electron beam lithography in detail. It also gives a small view on other technologies as well.

Stellar and laboratory XUV/EUV line ratios in Fe XVIII and Fe XIXAstroAtom
Talk given by E. Träbert, P. Beiersdorfer , J. Clementson at the 17th International Conference on Atomic Processes in Plasmas, Belfast, UK, 19-22 July 2011.
Multiple patterning is a class of technologies for manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs), developed for photolithography to enhance the feature density. The simplest case of multiple patterning is double patterning, where a conventional lithography process is enhanced to produce double the expected number of features. The resolution of a photoresist pattern is believed to blur at around 45 nm half-pitch. For the semiconductor industry, therefore, double patterning was introduced for the 32 nm half-pitch node and below. This presentation gives us an insight of why multiple patterning is an important to give us a better resolution below 32nm.

Best presentation on Germanium based Photovoltaic cell. Photovoltaic cell is also known as Solar cell.
Germanium-based photovoltaic cells use germanium as the semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electricity. Germanium has a wider spectral sensitivity than silicon, allowing it to absorb a broader range of light wavelengths, including infrared. This enables germanium-based cells to generate electricity more efficiently under various environmental conditions. They exhibit higher conversion efficiencies, particularly in low-light or low-temperature scenarios, thanks to germanium's high carrier mobility. These cells find applications in thermophotovoltaic systems for energy harvesting from waste heat. Germanium-based cells can also be integrated into tandem or multi-junction solar cell structures, increasing overall efficiency by capturing a wider spectrum of light. Ongoing research focuses on improving performance, reducing costs, and enhancing material durability. Challenges include the availability and cost of germanium, but these cells show promise for specialized applications such as space-based solar power systems, portable electronics, and wearable devices. Advancements in crystal growth techniques and material engineering contribute to their progress. By addressing these challenges and furthering research, germanium-based photovoltaic cells have the potential to play a significant role in solar energy conversion.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

metal film conductors.
• useful in the pre-production development phase to
alter a circuit that may not be working because of
a design or fabrication error
11. Advantages of using ions
over electrons
Ions are larger than electrons, so less change in
chemical nature of substrate,no x- ray emissions in
the sample.
Ions are heavier than electrons . So ions gain high
momentum.
Ion beam milling depends on the how much ions
needed to remove the material, it is independent of
the material’s chemical nature and material
strength.
