    Description / Table of Contents: These proceedings describe the current state-of-the-art of ozone research. A wide range of topics is discussed including: emissions, transport and transformation of precursors of ozone and of ozone itself, the distribution of ozone, the deposition of ozone at the earth's surface, and its effects on man and the environment. Attention is also given to the role of stratospheric ozone and the role of the ultraviolet radiation which is transmitted through the ozone layer. Finally it describes in detail present and future policy measures to reduce the ozone in the lower atmosphere and to protect the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Many of the papers describe recent developments and new research results. Research carried out in both in Europe and in the United States is described, as are the policy measures which are being taken by both European and U.S. governments.

    Notes: Background  There are many reports of patients with a severe hydroa vacciniforme (HV)-like eruption in which cutaneous lesions occur in both sun-exposed and non-exposed areas, unlike in true HV. Several patients have died from a malignant haematological neoplasm. In most cases, a latent Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection has been detected in the skin lesions.Objectives  To describe the clinical and laboratory features of six additional patients with an EBV-associated HV-like eruption.Methods  The clinical, histological and immunohistochemical features were reviewed. T-cell receptor γ gene rearrangements were studied using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and heteroduplex analysis. In-situ hybridization was performed to detect mRNA for EBV in skin biopsy specimens. PCR was performed to screen for EBV infection in the skin lesions of three patients and blood of two patients. Photoprovocation with repeated ultraviolet (UV) A exposure was performed in three patients.Results  The severity of the skin lesions and the clinical course varied among the patients. Skin lesions were induced by repeated UVA exposure in three patients and a latent EBV infection was demonstrated in the photoprovoked lesions.Conclusions  Three different clinical courses were found in six patients with an HV-like eruption associated with chronic EBV infection: (i) spontaneous remission; (ii) clearing after photoprotection; and (iii) continuous recurrence irrespective of sun exposure. It is possible that there are two patterns of HV-like eruption associated with chronic EBV infection. One is characterized by recurrent necrotic papulovesicles of the face and the other by nodules and facial swelling. It was demonstrated that the skin lesions could be triggered by repeated UVA exposure in the patients showing recurrent necrotic papulovesicles of the face.

    Notes: The effects of dielectric layers on electromigration failure were studied in situ using a high-voltage scanning electron microscope and at the wafer level using conventional accelerated testing. Several different passivation layers were deposited on wafers with A1 interconnect test structures. Prior to the deposition of the final dielectric, the wafers were processed identically and, whenever possible, simultaneously. Interconnects encapsulated with compliant polymer and very thin (0.1 μm) SiO2 layers demonstrated substantial lifetime extensions over those with more rigid (1 μm thick) SiO2 layers. Unpassivated lines behaved dramatically differently and failed much sooner than those covered with only 0.1 μm of SiO2. As expected, increasing the passivation thickness from 0.5 to 4 μm increased the electromigration lifetime for SiO2 covered specimens. The fabrication of silicon dioxide dielectrics using electron-cyclotron-resonance chemical-vapor deposition (CVD) and silicon nitride dielectrics via plasma-enhanced CVD damaged the interconnects. This damage nearly completely removed the barrier to void nucleation during electromigration. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An apparatus has been constructed to conduct electromigration tests on realistic specimens while simultaneously observing them at relatively high magnification. A scanning transmission electron microscope has been converted into a high-voltage scanning electron microscope (HVSEM) with a large specimen chamber. By imaging with high-energy electrons (120 keV) and detecting backscattered electrons, voids in metal lines can be viewed through passivation layers. The HVSEM has a resolution of 50 nm through 1 μm of passivation. We have constructed instrumentation to heat and pass current through interconnect structures, while they are inside the electron microscope. Presently, the specimen temperature can be as high as 350 °C and is maintained constant to within 0.1 °C. The resistances of interconnects are measured with a precision of 0.05% during an experiment. Testing the lines at moderately accelerated conditions requires great stability of the microscope and instrumentation as well as full automation of the data collection. These requirements have been met, and metallization lines can be tested for several weeks with minimal operator intervention. Digital images of an entire 300-μm-long test structure as well as electrical data are stored automatically every few minutes during a test. The hundreds to thousands of pictures are analyzed using digital image processing techniques to extract void positions and sizes as a function of time. We use this system to characterize electromigration failure in advanced interconnect structures and to test existing theories on electromigration phenomenon. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The electrical properties of thin nitrided oxide (∼100 A(ring)) formed by rapid thermal nitridation (RTN) in pure NH3 have been studied. It is found that the current-voltage characteristic of RTN oxides follows a Fowler–Nordheim tunneling behavior with modifications caused by electron trapping processes at the oxide surface and interface. The trapping density is dependent on the RTN conditions. At the interface, both fixed charge (Nf) and interface state (Dit) densities exhibit turnaround phenomena when the RTN process proceeds. The maximum values of Nf and Dit at the turnaround points are lower for the higher temperature RTN, suggesting a viscous flow related strain relieving mechanism associated with RTN of thin oxides. Films with superior endurance behavior (QBD=20.4 C/cm2 compared with QBD=5.1 C/cm2 of thermal oxide under 10 mA/cm2 constant current stress) have been obtained by RTN at 1000 °C, 10 s.

    Notes: We have fabricated a nematic liquid crystal cell associated with a homogeneously aligned to twisted transition of a liquid crystal director. In the absence of an electric field, the liquid crystal molecule is homogeneously aligned under the crossed polarizers, and thus the cell appears to be black. When a fringe field induced by interdigital electrodes is applied, liquid crystal molecules rotate in plane even above electrodes and thus the cell transmits light. The device exhibits a high transmittance ratio as well as a wide viewing angle, which solves a long standing problem of low transmittance existing in the conventional in-plane switching mode. We show that the distance between electrodes smaller than the width of an electrode and cell gap is required for generating fringe field with applied voltage and rotating molecules above electrodes. We also investigate the mechanism of fringe-field switching and dependence of electro-optic effect on different cell conditions and dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystal. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The atomic layer deposition technique has been applied to the growth of Al2O3 thin films on the substrates of Si(100), 100-nm-thick SiO2 covered Si(100) [SiO2/Si(100)], and 90-nm-thick TiN covered SiO2/Si(100). The growth rate of Al2O3 films was 0.19 nm/cycle and identical for all substrates employed under the surface controlled process. However, the optical properties of Al2O3 films were significantly affected by different substrates. The average interband-oscillator energy and refractive index parameter were determined to be 3.330 eV and 2.992×10−14 eV m2 for Al2O3 film grown on Si(100), while those for the film grown on SiO2/Si(100) were 4.492 eV and 2.074×10−14 eV m2, respectively. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Sr0.25Ba0.75Nb2O6 (SBN) thin films postannealed at 750 °C for 30 min were epitaxially grown in the [00l] direction on p-type (100) Si substrates by the rf magnetron sputtering method. The capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics of Au/SBN/Si capacitors, which depend on postannealing conditions, were measured. The C–V curve of the crystalline SBN film had a hysteresis curve with a clockwise rotation. The memory window and surface charge density calculated from the hysteresis loop are 2.1 V and 85 nC/cm2, respectively. From the data of a deep level transient spectroscopy, the activation energies of major traps in the crystalline SBN film obtained were about Ev+0.26 eV and Ev+0.28 eV, by using the Arrhenius plot. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We studied the photoresponse of Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 (PZT) thin films by measuring the current–voltage (I–V) curve at several ferroelectric polarization states illuminated by a monochromatic 3.5 eV UV light. The photocurrent in Pt/PZT/Pt capacitors was sensitive to the polarization state, and the poling voltage-dependent photocurrent showed very asymmetric hysteresis behavior. The capacitance that is dependent upon the thickness of the samples was first measured. Then, the capacitance of the interfacial layer at a state with no interdiffusion between Pt and PZT film was extrapolated by using an equivalent circuit model. The result of the extrapolation was 28.1 μF/cm2. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
