Deep anisotropic dry etching of silicon microstructures by high-density plasmas
No full textThis thesis deals with the dry etching of deep anisotropic microstructures in monocrystalline silicon by high-density plasmas. High aspect ratio trenches are necessary in the fabrication of sensitive inertial devices such as accellerometers and gyroscopes. The etching of silicon in fluorine-based plasmas is isotropic. To obtain anisotropy the addition of sidewall passivation is necessary. This is achieved with both oxygen passivation at low temperatures and fluorocarbon passivation at room temperature. A quantitative approach was pursued to explain the etching mechanism. The etch results were analysed using the measured plasma species fluxes and the surface composition. Moreover, the transport of the plasma species in narrow anisotropic structures is a fundamental factor determining the etch rate and the profile evolution. The experimental methods such as the etching equipment, plasma diagnostics, surface analysis and sample preparation are described in chapter 2. Three etching processes were investigated: the cryogenic etching process with oxygen passivation at low temperatures, the Bosch process with fluorocarbon passivation at room temperature and the novel triple pulse process that was developed in our laboratory. The polymer deposition mechanism and the characteristic role of the ions are also explained. The cryogenic etching process is discussed in chapter 3. Fluorine radicals, oxygen radicals and ion bombardment are responsible for the three main sub-processes, that is, etching, sidewall passivation and depassivation of the trench bottom, respectively. Etching experiments with an extremely low ion-to-radical flux ratio were used to reveal the etching mechanism. Crystal orientation dependent etching leading to Si(111) crystal facets is observed in a surface kinetics controlled regime. By varying the plasma conditions it is possible to adjust the etching mechanism from fluorine-limited to ion-limited. Controlled etching is obtained because the etching is tuned from aspect ratio dependent in the fluorine-limited domain to aspect ratio independent in the ion-limited domain. The transport of radicals in high aspect ratio trenches is an important limiting factor and was investigated with special structures. The etch results are described by an analytic model that is based on the surface site balance of fluorine and oxygen radicals. The results are further explained with a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Bosch process is clarified in chapter 4. The anisotropy of the etched structures is controlled by balancing the etching and passivation pulse. However, the maximal obtainable aspect ratio is limited by convergence of the trench sidewalls due to excessive passivation. The maximal obtainable aspect ratio increases if the ion-to-radical flux ratio increases. The transport of ions is an important limiting factor in the depassivation of the bottom of the trench. Divergence of the ion beam leads to a reduction of the ion flux, so that the fluorocarbon passivation is insufficiently removed near the base of the sidewalls. The average ion angle was measured and correlated to the maximal obtainable aspect ratio. The Bosch process was improved at the depassivation side with the triple pulse process and at the passivation side with preferential sidewall deposition. The triple pulse process that is described in chapter 5 has the aim to improve the depassivation in deep trenches. The three main sub-processes are decoupled using a separate depassivation pulse directly after the etching and passivation pulses. The fluorocarbon passivation is efficiently removed with low-pressure, high-density, oxygen-based plasmas. The investigated plasma chemistries include O2, CO2 and SO2. The triple pulse process leads to better profile control with a straight trench bottom. However, the maximal obtainable aspect ratio is comparable to the Bosch process because a larger etch depth and a small lateral etch cancel out. The polymer deposition mechanism is treated in chapter 6 with the aim to understand the fluorocarbon passivation in deep trenches. The deposition on plane surfaces and on special structures was investigated to distinguish between the radical-induced and ion-enhanced components. A simple analytical model, which explains the main deposition characteristics, was developed. Preferential sidewall deposition is obtained for higher ion fluxes and higher bias voltages where sputtering plays an important role. In this case no fluorocarbon passivation has to be removed from the bottom of the trench. The trench profile was optimised in the Bosch process by tuning the bias voltage during etching and passivation independently. It resulted in perfectly anisotropic trenches but the maximal obtainable aspect ratio was still limited by a small lateral etch. The characteristic role of the ions in the etching mechanism is explained in chapter 7. Ion-induced etching of both SiC in a SF6-O2 plasma and Si in a Cl2 plasma were investigated. The impact of the ions on the profile evolution can be examined more explicitly because spontaneous chemical reactions are absent for these plasma-material systems. The etching mechanism varies from fluorine-limited to ion-limited depending on the radical-to-ion flux ratio. Microtrenches are observed for an ion-limited etching mechanism. Fluorine-limited SiC etching is aspect ratio dependent in contrast to ion-limited SiC etching, which is aspect ratio independent. The etching of high aspect ratio SiC structures is limited by the positive sidewall taper. This is presumably caused by insufficient removal of the thin fluorocarbon layer on the surface. Si etching in a Cl2 plasma is always aspect ratio independent in contrast to SiC etching because of the low reaction probability. The conclusions and recommendations of this thesis are given in chapter 8.Applied Science

No full textABSTRAK Fatmawati, Septi. 2017. Femininity of the Main Female Characters of Mona Lisa Smile. Thesis. Department of English, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (1) Dr. Mirjam Anugerahwati, M.A., (2) Dr. M. Misbahul Amri, M.A. Keyword: Mona Lisa Smile, 1950s women, housewives, femininity, women language. Mona Lisa Smile is a movie which was released in 2003. Using the time-setting of the1950s, this movie shows an art history lecture, Katherine Watson, who tries to change the idea of young marriage among the students of Wellesley women’s college. She meets a lot of students who strongly believe and follow the married tradition. The era of the 1950s is the time when femininity and masculinity are two completely opposite ideas. Women have to be feminine while men have to be masculine. So, throughout this movie, the researcher aims to show the portrayal of femininity of the 1950s. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method. The data were taken from Mona Lisa Smile. The researcher collected 29 data, text and figures, of the 1950s femininity. The data are divided into three categories which are fashion, language, and behavior. The findings reveal that femininity for the 1950s women means an ideal image of good housewives. Women who obey their husband and take a good care of their family are the portrayal of feminine women in the 1950s. So they learn the behavior of feminine women; such as smile sweetly, sit elegantly, and talk gently, to complete their character as ideal women. Meanwhile, in terms of fashion; short curled hair, red lipstick, and pearl necklace are the women trend fashion in the 1950s. Those trend fashions are generally found among the 1950s women.

Mona Lisa Smile adalah sebuah film yang dirilis pada tahun 2003. Dengan menggunakan setting waktu pada thun 1950an, film ini mempersembahkan seorang dosen sejarah seni, Katherine Watson, yang berusaha untuk merubah pola pikir mahasiswi di kampus wanita Wellesley tentang pernikahan dini . Katherine berjumpa dengan banyak sekali mahasiswi yang sangat mempercayai dan mengikuti tradisi pernikahan dini tersebut. Era 1950an adalah era dimana feminim dan maskulin menjadi dua hal yang sangat berlawanan. Wanita harus menjadi feminim sedang laki-laki harus menjadi maskulin. Oleh sebab itu, melalui film ini, peneliti bertujuan untuk menjelaskan gambaran tenatng femininity di tahun 1950an. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Semua data diambil dai film Mona Lisa Smile. Penulis telah mengumpulan 29 data, teks dan gambar, tentang karakter feminim di tahun 1050an. Data-data tersebut dikelompokan menjadi tiga kategori yaitu mode, bahasa dan tingkah laku. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bagi wanita di tahun 1950an menjadi feminim adalah menjadi seorang ibuh rumah tangga yang baik. Wanita yang mematuhi perintah suami dan menjaga keluarganya dengan sangat baik adalah potret atau gambaran wanita feminism di era 1950an. Jadi mereka juga mempelajari bertingkah laku secara feminism; seperti berbicara dengan lembut, duduk yang elegan, dan berjalan perlahanlahan, untuk melengkapi karakter mereka sebagai wanita idaman. Disisi lain, di dunia mode; rambut pendek yg keriting, lipstik merah, dan kalung mutiara adalah tren mode dikalangan wanita tahun 1950an. Tren fashion tersebut sangat banyak digunakan oleh wanita di era 1950an
The Absent Presence of Voice in Contemporary Artists Film
No full text‘…what defines the voice as special among the infinite array of acoustic
phenomena, is its inner relationship with meaning. The voice is something which
points towards meaning’(Dolar 2006)
The paper will analyse the potential of voice to be a signifer of narrative and an immersive instrument within contemporary artists film and their construction, utilising my own practice by screening the digital film Spitfire Beach (2010) as a case study.
The notion of the ‘speaking subject’ (Kristeva) will be investigated, through forms of the voiceover that establish an absent presence within the film works. When voice conveys language as it does via the storytelling in the discussed work, it also creates an absent subject within the films. The voiceover becomes informer, performer and vouyeur of events as they unfold
Each of my film works uses a systematic process of narrative construction, involving found lists of words taken from Internet searches. These lists of words are used to multiply associations that suggest stories, reveal themes of nostalgia, journeys and disasters, which are then recast by the recording of the narrative by voiceover artists.
The notion of multiplicity is also used where tangential associations are developed in the writing of the blogs that document the making process of the films. These associations are constructed specifically via nostalgic memory. In the Spitfire Beach blog (2010) the narrative of the blog is structured around the making of the film Spitfire Beach. However, the writing in this form becomes more than documentation, as interwoven narratives unfold and a process of remembering is engaged. The voice present within the blog is that of the artist and this voice merges memory and association in an unrestrained and wandering style

Approximate Personal Name-Matching Through Finite-State Graphs
No full textThis article shows how finite-state methods can be employed in a new and different task: the conflation of personal name variants in standard forms. In bibliographic databases and citation index systems, variant forms create problems of inaccuracy that affect information retrieval, the quality of information from databases, and the citation statistics used for the evaluation of scientists' work. A number of approximate string matching techniques have been developed to validate variant forms, based on similarity and equivalence relations. We classify the personal name variants as nonvalid and valid forms. In establishing an equivalence relation between valid variants and the standard form of its equivalence class, we defend the application of finite-state transducers. The process of variant identification requires the elaboration of: (a) binary matrices and (b) finite-state graphs. This procedure was tested on samples of author names from bibliographic records, selected from the Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) databases. The evaluation involved calculating the measures of precision and recall, based on completeness and accuracy. The results demonstrate the usefulness of this approach, although it should be complemented with methods based on similarity relations for the recognition of spelling variants and misspellings
Hotspot Analysis: an experimental Python plugin to enable LISA mapping into QGIS
No full textThe possibility of linking maps with statistical processes represents one of the meaningful advantages characterizing the latest generation of GIS software. In the last decades, manifold statistical techniques have been adapted as well as designed to enable geographic data analysis. Among these techniques, particularly popular - and widely adopted in many research fields - is the spatial autocorrelation analysis using LISA (Local Indicators for Spatial Association). LISA statistics are currently implemented into different programming libraries (e.g R- spdep https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/spdep, Python-PySAL http://pysal.github.io, etc.), into Free and Open Source spatial statistical Software (eg. GeoDA http://geodacenter.github.io) as well as into proprietary GIS software suites. Within the most famous FOSS GIS, the access to LISA mapping capabilities is currently enabled only through command line while dedicated plugins have not been formally made available yet. We present here the Hotspot Analysis plugin, an experimental QGIS Python plugin aimed both to facilitate the access to to LISA mapping tools for users with no advanced programming skills – exploiting the user-friendly QGIS environment - as well as to contribute to the growth of the mapping capabilities of this FOSS GIS software. The Hotspot Analysis plugin is based mainly on the Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) module of PySAL and PyQGIS, providing a simplified interface to run LISA tools starting from vector layers. The stable version of plugin is available on the QGIS Python Plugins Repository (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/HotspotAnalysis ) while the development version as well as documentation and test data are available on GitHUB (https://github.com/danioxoli/HotSpotAnalysis_Plugin). The main plugin features, including installation requirements and computational procedures, are here described together with an example of the possible applications of the Hotspot analysis
