Some people use peak flow meters to monitor changes in asthma. Peak flow readings show how well a child's lungs are working. This calculator shows the predicted peak flow in children. With your child's height, you can find his or her predicted peak flow. Predicted peak flow is how much air a child of a certain height is expected to breathe out (exhale) after taking a deep breath.
An even more important number is your child's personal best peak flow. This number helps monitor your child's asthma. Changes from your child's personal best help you see how well your child's asthma is controlled. These changes also can let you know when your child needs medicine and when your child needs medical care.

A purchase by the county will allow residents and their families to enjoy the beauty of one lake for generations to come.
Mud Lake, in the town of Roxbury, will be a part of Dane County. And that means, more residents can go out and experience one of the largest lakes still undeveloped in the county.
Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk says, "Well, you can't improve on perfection, and if there is a prettier view in our county it would be hard to find, and that is why we are purchasing here for the public to use forever, 72 acres around this wonderful lake called Mud Lake."
Mud Lake spans 216 acres and is a popular fishing spot. The county's $561,000 purchase will increase the public's access, as well as protect the surrounding 72 acres of shore land from development.
A resolution approving the purchase will be introduced to the county board later this week.

"The GOP Won't Stop Suppressing Our Votes": Access To The Ballot Has Become A Feverishly Partisan Issue
For me, voting rights aren't a partisan matter. They are a fundamental right that all adult citizens should enjoy without restriction. I don't even think there should be such a thing as "getting out the vote" because I think all citizens should be required to participate, even if it is just to express their lack of endorsement for any candidates, initiatives, or referendums. People should get themselves to the polls and political parties should focus exclusively on winning over their support. That's how I feel, but I recognize that access to the ballot has become a feverishly partisan issue. And, I wonder if restricting ballot access was actually successful enough in these midterms that it changed the outcome of some elections. Perhaps in North Carolina?
Voters in fourteen states faced new voting restrictions at the polls for first time in 2014—in the first election in nearly fifty years without the full protections of the Voting Rights Act. The number of voters impacted by the new restrictions exceeded the margin of victory in close races for senate and governor in North Carolina, Kansas, Virginia and Florida, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
In the North Carolina senate race, Republican Thom Tillis, who as speaker of the North Carolina General Assembly oversaw the state's new voting law, defeated Democrat Kay Hagan by 50,000 votes. Nearly five times as many voters in 2010 used the voting reforms eliminated by the North Carolina GOP—200,000 voted during the now-eliminated first week of early voting, 20,000 used same-day registration and 7,000 cast out-of-precinct ballots.
The intention in placing these new roadblocks to voting was to change the outcome of elections. Only the worst dupe in the world thinks that the intent was to increase the integrity of the count. Even if these restrictions didn't change any actual outcomes, the perception that they did in Republican circles assures that they will keep at it since they think it's a winning strategy.
And it probably is.

"Don't Let Them Silence You: Vote, Dammit": The Way We All Become Equal On Election Day Is That We Cast That Ballot
Our country's oldest and longest struggle has been to enlarge democracy by making it possible for more and more people to be treated equally at the polls. The right to participate in choosing our representatives – to vote — is the very right that inflamed the American colonies and marched us toward revolution and independence.
So it's unbelievable and frankly outrageous that in the last four years, close to half the states in this country have passed laws to make it harder for people to vote. But it's true.
But don't stop there. Engage, and start the conversation of democracy where you live — in your apartment complex, on your block, in your neighborhood. There is always at least one kindred spirit within reach to launch the conversation. Build on it.
As this country began, only white men of property could vote, but over time and with agitation and conflict, the franchise spread regardless of income, color or gender. In the seventies, we managed to lower the voting age to 18. Yet a new nationwide effort to suppress the vote, nurtured by fear and fierce resistance to inevitable demographic change, has hammered the United States.
And this must be said, because it's true: While it once was Democrats who used the poll tax, literacy tests and outright intimidation to keep Black people from voting, today, in state after state, it is the Republican Party working the levers of suppression. It's as if their DNA demands it. Here's what Paul Weyrich, one of the founding fathers of the conservative movement, said back in 1980: "I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."
So the right has become relentless, trying every trick to keep certain people from voting. And conservative control of the Supreme Court gives them a leg up. Last year's decision – Shelby County v. Holder – revoked an essential provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and that has only upped the ante, encouraging many Republican state legislators to impose restrictive voter ID laws, as well as work further to gerrymander Congressional districts and limit voting hours and registration. In the past few weeks, the Supreme Court has dealt with voting rights cases in Texas, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Ohio and upheld suppression in three of them, denying the vote to hundreds of thousands of Americans. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in opposition, "The greatest threat to public confidence… is the prospect of enforcing a purposefully discriminating law."
The right's rationale is that people — those people — are manipulating the system to cheat and throw elections. But rarely – meaning almost never — can they offer any proof of anyone, anywhere, showing up at the polling place and trying illegally to cast a ballot. Their argument was knocked further on its head just recently when one of the most respected conservative judges on the bench, Richard Posner of the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, wrote a blistering dissent on the legality of a Wisconsin voter ID law. "As there is no evidence that voter-impersonation fraud is a problem," Posner declared, "how can the fact that a legislature says it's a problem turn it into one? If the Wisconsin legislature says witches are a problem, shall Wisconsin courts be permitted to conduct witch trials?"
The real reason for the laws is to lower turnout, to hold onto power by keeping those who are in opposition from exercising their solemn right — to make it hard for minorities, poor folks, and students, among others, to participate in democracy's most cherished act.
And you wonder why so many feel disconnected and disaffected? Forces in this country don't want people to vote at the precise moment when turnout already is at a low, when what we really should be doing is making certain that young people are handed their voter registration card the moment they get a driver's license, graduate from high school, arrive at college or register at Selective Service.
In a conversation for this week's edition of Moyers & Company, The Nation magazine's Ari Berman put it this way: "This is an example of trying to give the most powerful people in the country, the wealthiest, the most connected people, more power. Because the more people that vote, the less power the special interests have. If you can restrict the number of people who participate, it's a lot easier to rig the political system." And Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, noted, "For people who don't have the power to engage in terms of money in the political process, the way we all become equal on Election Day is that we cast that ballot… [So] it's not just about corporate interests. It is about power. And it is about trying to suppress the voice of those who are the most marginalized."
So vote, dammit. It is, as President Lyndon Johnson said when he signed the Voting Rights Act, "the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice." But don't stop there. Engage, and start the conversation of democracy where you live — in your apartment complex, on your block, in your neighborhood. There is always at least one kindred spirit within reach to launch the conversation. Build on it. Like the founders, launch a Committee of Correspondence and keep it active. Show up when your elected officials hold town meetings. Make a noise and don't stop howling. Robert LaFollette said democracy is a life, and involves constant struggle. So be it.

"Confused Voter Or Disenfranchised Voter?": In Texas, You Can Vote With A Concealed Handgun License—But Not A Student ID
Texans casting a ballot on Monday, when early voting begins, will need to show one of seven forms of photo ID. A concealed handgun license is okay, but a student ID isn't. The Supreme Court on Saturday allowed Texas to go forward with this controversial voter ID law. A federal judge had previously struck down the law, arguing that it could disenfranchise 600,000 voters or a full 4.5 percent of registered voters, many of them black and Latino.
Critics say voter ID laws, especially the one in Texas, amount to voter suppression, because it can be both difficult and costly to get the required identification. In a powerfully worded dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, joined by Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagen, wrote, "The greatest threat to public confidence in elections in this case is the prospect of enforcing a purposefully discriminatory law, one that likely imposes an unconstitutional poll tax and risks denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters."
Saturday's decision marks the third time this season that the Supreme Court has allowed a controversial voter law to take effect. The other two were about measures in Ohio and North Carolina. This may not seem surprising, given that the Roberts Court has struck down a key section of the Voting Rights Act, but the rationale for this (and the other decisions) may have been more about timing than substance—in particular, observing the precedent of Purcell v. Gonzalez, in which the Court has blocked last-minute changes in voting laws in order to avoid confusion. Still, what's worse? A confused voter or a disenfranchised one? The latter, Ian Millhiser argued at ThinkProgress: "If a confused voter brings an ID to the polls that they do not need to have, they will still get to cast a ballot. But if the same voter mistakenly forgets their ID (or fails to obtain one) because they were confused and believed that their state's voter ID law was not in effect, then they will be disenfranchised."
Actual voter fraud, which is the problem that Republican legislation supposedly addresses, is difficult to find. Ginsburg noted that there were "only two in-person voter fraud cases prosecuted to conviction" in Texas in almost a decade. The consequences of voter ID laws, on the other hand, are much easier to track. According to the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office, existing ID requirements reduced turnout in some states during the last presidential election, particularly among young and black voters. Now, imagine the impact is even larger, because it is spread over the 33 states that now require some form of photo ID to vote. The same report found that the costs of acquiring the needed ID ranged between $14.50 to $58.50 for 17 of the states.

"A Purposefully Discriminatory Law": Ruth Bader Ginsburg Pens Scathing Dissent On Texas Voter ID Law
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued a six-page dissent early Saturday morning, blasting the court's decision to allow Texas to use its new voter ID law in the November elections. She was joined in the dissent by Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
"The greatest threat to public confidence in elections in this case is the prospect of enforcing a purposefully discriminatory law, one that likely imposes an unconstitutional poll tax and risks denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters," Ginsburg wrote.
Ginsburg disputed the Fifth Circuit court of appeals' argument that is was too close to the November election to stop the law. Early voting begins on Monday in Texas.
"In any event, there is little risk that the District Court's injunction will in fact disrupt Texas' electoral process," she wrote. "Texas need only reinstate the voter identification procedures it employed for ten years (from 2003 to 2013) and in five federal general elections."
Ginsburg argued that the Fifth Circuit was remiss to ignore the findings of a full trial in district court, which found that the law was "enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose and would yield a prohibited disriminatory result."
District Court Judge Nelva Gonzalez Ramos struck down the law earlier this month on the grounds that it would serve as a deterrent to a large number of registered voters, most of them black or Hispanic. "Based on the testimony and numerous statistical analyses provided at trial, this Court finds that approximately 608,470 registered voters in Texas, representing approximately 4.5% of all registered voters, lack qualified SB 14 ID and of these, 534,512 voters do not qualify for a disability exemption," Gonzalez Ramos wrote.
Ginsburg echoed these findings in her dissent, though Texas officials dispute these figures. "The potential magnitude of racially discriminatory voter disenfranchisement counseled hesitation before disturbing the District Court's findings and final judgment," Ginsburg wrote. "Senate Bill 14 may prevent more than 600,000 registered Texas voters (about 4.5% of all registered voters) from voting in person for lack of compliant identification. A sharply disproportionate percentage of those voters are African-American or Hispanic."

"Obligations To Justice": Eric Holder And Robert F. Kennedy's Legacy
When he announced his leave-taking last week, Attorney General Eric Holder spoke of Robert F. Kennedy as his inspiration for believing that the Justice Department "can — and must — always be a force for that which is right."
There are many reasons our nation's first African American attorney general might see Kennedy as his guide, but this one may be the most important: If ever a public figure was exempt from Holder's much contested depiction of our country as a "nation of cowards" on race, it was RFK, a man who was in constant struggle with his demons and his conscience.
Few white men were as searing as Kennedy in describing how the world looked to a young black man in the late 1960s. "He is told that the Negro is making progress," Kennedy wrote, following the racial etiquette of his time. "But what does that mean to him? He cannot experience the progress of others, nor should we seriously expect him to feel grateful because he is no longer a slave, or because he can vote or eat at some lunch counters."
"How overwhelming must be the frustration of this young man — this young American," Kennedy continued, "who, desperately wanting to believe and half believing, finds himself locked in the slums, his education second-rate, unable to get a job, confronted by the open prejudice and subtle hostilities of a white world, and seemingly powerless to change his condition or shape his future."
Yet Kennedy was never one to let individuals escape responsibility for their own fates. So he also spoke of others who would tell this young black man "to work his way up, as other minorities have done; and so he must. For he knows, and we know, that only by his efforts and his own labor will the Negro come to full equality."
Holder and his friend President Obama have lived both halves of Kennedy's parable. Like social reformers in every time, they strived to balance their own determination to succeed with their obligations to justice. Doing this is never easy. It can't be.
Kennedy was not alone among Americans in being tormented by how much racism has scarred our national story. That's why I was one of many who bristled back in 2009 when Holder called us all cowards. For all our flaws, few nations have faced up to a history of racial subjugation as regularly and comprehensively as we have. And Holder and Obama have both testified to our progress.
Yet rereading Kennedy is to understand why Holder spoke as he did. That the young man Kennedy described is still so present and recognizable tells us that complacency remains a subtle but corrosive sin. One of Holder's finest hours as attorney general was his visit to Ferguson, Mo., after the killing of Michael Brown. Many young black men still fear they will be shot, a sign that the "open prejudice and subtle hostilities of a white world" have not gone away. We have moved forward, yet we still must overcome.
Holder leaves two big legacies in this area from which his successors must not turn away. In the face of a regressive Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act, he has found other ways to press against renewed efforts to disenfranchise minority voters. And it is a beacon of hope that sentencing reform and over-incarceration, central Holder concerns, are matters now engaging conservatives, libertarians and liberals alike.
The New York Times' Matt Apuzzo captured the irony of Holder's tenure with the observation that his time as attorney general "is unique in that his biggest supporters are also among his loudest critics." Many progressives have been troubled by his record on civil liberties in the battle against terrorism, his aggressive pursuit of journalists' e-mails and phone records in leak investigations, and his reluctance to prosecute individual Wall Street malefactors.
That these issues will long be debated is a reminder that Holder was first a lawyer and public servant, most of whose work had nothing to do with race. That he singled out Kennedy as his hero shows that none of us need be imprisoned by race. That Holder cajoled and provoked us on the need "to confront our racial past, and our racial present" is itself an achievement that transcends the color line.
Kennedy, who spoke of those who braved "the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society," would understand the risks that Holder ran.

Mary J. Blige - Stay Down
Artist: Mary J. Blige
Producer: Bryan-Michael Cox
Album: Growing Pains
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 32 votes )
This past Saturday evening, Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z kicked off their two-month "Heart of the City" tour in Miami, Florida. Joining them at American Airlines Arena for opening night were Kanye West, Young Jeezy and The-Dream, as well as most of the R.O.C. roster. Using the tour as her main promotional tool through the end of April, Blige has released Stay Down as the next single off her recently released platinum-selling album, Growing Pains. The Bryan-Michael Cox-produced selection is a fitting choice as the LP's third single, considering its theme is dedication and long-lasting support; both topics of discussion on the tour's unofficial theme song, You're Welcome. Look for Blige (along with Mr. Carter) in a city near you very soon.

Israel's Troubling Tilt Toward Apartheid
From the Archive: Though it remains risky in U.S. media and political circles to criticize Israel, there is a growing alarm even at the New York Times about the extremist trends of Israel's ultra-Orthodox who are demanding segregation by sex, ethnicity and religious practices, as Robert Parry noted in this 2010 article.
The Gulag That Is Gitmo
Still under powerful neocon influence – and fearing the old "soft on terror" label – Congress has blocked President Obama's efforts to close "the gulag at Guantánamo," forcing Obama to retreat from his promise to Americans and an outraged world, as Marjorie Cohn notes.
Silencing Donahue and Anti-War Voices
Amid the war fever over Iraq in 2002, legendary talk show host Phil Donahue returned to television with an MSNBC program that allowed antiwar voices to speak – but his corporate chieftains soon pulled the plug, a shameful moment in U.S. journalism explored in this interview with Dennis J.

Article: Time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) distribution in n-MOSFET with HfSiON gate dielectrics under DC and AC stressing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper discusses time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) in n-FETs with HfSiON gate stacks under various stress conditions. It was found that the slope of Weibull distribution of Tbd, Weibull β, changes with stress conditions, namely, DC stress, unipolar AC stress and bipolar AC stresses. On the other hand, the time evolution component of stress-induced leakage current (SILC) was not changed by these stresses. These experimental results indicate that the modulation of electron trapping/de-trapping and hole trapping/de-trapping by stress condition changes the defect size in high-k gate dielectrics. Therefore, the control of injected carrier and the characteristics of trapping can provide the steep Weibull distribution of Tbd, leading to long-term reliability in scaled CMOS devices with high-k gate stacks.Microelectronics Reliability 12/2013; 53(12):1868–1874. · 1.14 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Experimental study of channel doping concentration impacts on random telegraph signal noise and successful noise suppression by strain induced mobility enhancement[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Impacts of channel doping concentration on single-trap and multiple-trap random telegraph signal (RTS) noise are studied comprehensively in this work, including trap time constants, current fluctuation (ΔId/Id), and threshold voltage shift (ΔVth_rts). It is found that, higher channel doping not only degrades ΔId/Id and ΔVth_rts, but also enhances couplings between gate bias and trap time constants, which is experimentally observed for the first time. Moreover, aiming at RTS suppression in devices with inevitable channel doping, strain effects on RTS are studied. It is found that, RTS noise (Svg) as well as fluctuation amplitudes (ΔId/Id, ΔVth_rts) can be largely suppressed in strained pFETs with higher hole mobility. Underlying physical mechanisms are discussed and guidelines to decrease RTS noise are proposed.VLSI Technology (VLSIT), 2013 Symposium on; 01/2013

ABSTRACT: The roles of electrons and holes in the dielectric breakdown of HfSiON have been investigated by controlling the numbers of injected hot electrons and hot holes separately by the substrate hot-carrier injection technique. It has been clarified that carrier flux has the strongest effect on the dielectric breakdown of HfSiON rather than carrier energy and the electric field across dielectrics. The amount of electron flux leading to the dielectric breakdown of HfSiON is about twice as large as that of hole flux.Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 04/2012; 51(4):1105-. · 1.07 Impact Factor
Article: Characteristics of Defect Generation and Breakdown in SiO2 for Polycrystalline Silicon Channel Field-Effect Transistor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, the defect generation and breakdown characteristics of a polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) channel field-effect transistor (FET) have been investigated in detail from the channel area scaling point of view. In the case of a sufficiently larger channel area than the grain size of poly-Si, it was found that defects in SiO2 on a poly-Si channel are more easily created than those on a Si(100) channel and a smaller Weibull slope of charge to breakdown (Qbd) for the poly-Si channel than that for the Si(100) channel was observed, resulting in poor reliabilities. When the channel area is reduced to a similar size to that of the grains, the Weibull slope of Qbd for the poly-Si channel FETs becomes steeper and close to that for the Si(100) channel. Grain size control and surface orientation engineering of the poly-Si channel are required to improve the reliability for further scaled poly-Si channel devices.Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 04/2012; 51(4). · 1.07 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Comprehensive investigations on neutral and attractive traps in random telegraph signal noise phenomena using (100)- and (110)-orientated CMOSFETs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Neutral traps and attractive traps in random telegraph noise (RTN), on both (100)- and (110)-orientated CMOSFETs, are well distinguished and systematically studied for the first time, including both electron and hole traps. It is found that neutral traps energy distributions are higher than attractive traps and, most importantly, neutral traps caused much larger threshold voltage shifts (ΔVth_RTN) than attractive traps do, especially in (110)-nMOSFETs. Furthermore, based on obtained ΔVth_RTN in CMOSFETs on surface of various orientations, 3D structure optimizations are discussed in view of ΔVth_RTN suppression.VLSI Technology (VLSIT), 2012 Symposium on; 01/2012
Article: Degradation of High-k/Interface Layer Structures by H Atoms and Interface Engineering with O Atom Manipulation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: With regard to the growing numbers of H atoms in high-k/SiO2/Si systems, it is revealed through first principles calculations that degradation of high-k/interface layer structures has been found to occur from the interface layers by H atoms, even if the interface defects are terminated with H atoms by forming gas annealing. O termination is proposed to prevent this degradation. The effects of H and O atoms are verified by experimental analyses.12/2011;
Article: Atomic-scale theory on degradation of HfSiON gate stacks by atomic hydrogen accompanied by its interaction with oxygen vacancy and substitutional nitrogen[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An atomic-scale model for the degradation of Hf silicates (HfSiON) gate stacks triggered by atomic hydrogen strongly influencing oxygen vacancy (VO) generation in HfSiON and its interfacial layer is proposed based on first-principles calculations. We found that the atomic hydrogen is always negatively charged in the high-k stacks and diffuses fast as interstitials with very low energy barriers along electric fields irrespective of the Fermi level of the whole system. These characteristics of the atomic hydrogen induce bias-polarity dependent degradations of the high-k stacked dielectrics. It agrees well with the experimental results, especially evident in high-kp-FETs. We also found that although both oxygen vacancies and substitutional nitrogen atoms at the oxygen sites (NO) attract each other and stabilize the atomic hydrogen, substitutional nitrogens have also possibility to act as preserving a puckered configuration of the VO2+ accompanied by a hydrogen interstitial under a hole existence. These H atom complexes accompanied by VOs and NOs may also enhance the degradation of the high-k stacks.Microelectronic Engineering 11/2011; 88(7):1457-1460. · 1.22 Impact Factor
Article: Method of Decoupling the Bias Temperature Instability Component from Hot Carrier Degradation in Ultrathin High-k MetalOxideSemiconductor Field-Effect Transistors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hot-carrier (HC) degradation becomes more critical as the channel length is reduced. Furthermore, both positive and negative bias temperature instabilities (PBTI and NBTI, respectively) are significant in high-k devices. Under HC stress, BTI caused by the vertical electric field is unavoidable. The decoupling of the BTI component from HC degradation is necessary to predict device lifetime more accurately. In this study, a new decoupling method of HC degradation is proposed. By using the relation between Delta Vth and Jg, the BTI component can be decoupled from the degradation under Vg=Vd stress. The application of our method to HfSiON metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is demonstrated. The channel length dependence of each component shows the improvement resulting from the decoupling method. Furthermore, the activation energy of the NBTI component in HC degradation coincides with that of NBTI.Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 01/2010; 49. · 1.07 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB) in p-FETs with HfSiON/SiO2 gate stacks under negative bias stress has been studied. It is shown that the shape parameter of Weibull distribution of Tbd, β, is very small value independent of gate electrode materials. This small β seems to arise from the interface layer (I.L.) breakdown. Further experimental result reveals the existence of additional interface layer degradation mechanisms due to hydrogen in HfSiON. The reduction of hydrogen amount in high-k dielectrics leads to the longer-term reliability in metal-gate/high-k gate stacks.01/2010;
Conference Paper: Impact of metal gate electrode on Weibull distribution of TDDB in HfSiON gate dielectrics[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The slope parameter of Weibull plot of Tbd, beta, strongly depends on gate electrode material for metalgate/HfSiON gate stacks in n-FETs. Furthermore beta of Tbd under bipolar stress is larger than that under DC stress. From these results, it is found that the balance of injected carriers is strongly related to beta in terms of the origin of large beta for metal-gate/high-k.Reliability Physics Symposium, 2009 IEEE International; 05/2009
Article: Atomic-scale theory on current-assisted thermochemical degradation mode and its field acceleration via charge trapping of O vacancy in HfSiO 4[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An atomic-scale model for current-assisted field-accelerated thermochemical degradation via charge capturing by O vacancy (VO) is proposed based on first-principles calculations. We found that the electron current enhances the VO formation around the VO itself and the hole current makes the VO transform into the puckered structure. The calculated activation enthalpy for breakdown and the effective dipole moment agree well with the experimental values. We also found that the subordinate carriers in the generated subordinate carrier injection (GSCI) model play critical roles through a disproportion reaction of positively charged VOs.Microelectronic Engineering - MICROELECTRON ENG. 01/2009; 86(7):1901-1904.

ABSTRACT: The influence of traps and current on the degradation in HfSiON has been studied. Different characteristics of activation energy for TDDB between thick and thin HfSiON, where the Poole Frenkel (PF) and tunnel currents mainly flow, respectively, were observed in the same temperature range. It was indicated that the current could promote the breakdown in HfSiON. Furthermore, we investigated the correlation between pre-existing traps and trap generation in HfSiON/SiO2 stacks with fluorine incorporation. It was found that the nature of generated traps correspond to that of pre-existing traps. From these results, it was considered that the interaction between traps and carriers causes the degradation in HfSiON.IEEE Transactions on Device and Materials Reliability - IEEE TRANS DEVICE MATER RELIA. 01/2009; 9(2):163-170.
Article: Dual nature of metal gate electrode effects on BTI and dielectric breakdown in TaC/HfSiON MISFETs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated bias temperature instability (BTI) and time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) in TaCx/HfSiON MOSFETs in terms of the effects of TaCx metal gate electrode, using various Ta composition and TaCx thickness. We find a dual nature of TaCx metal gate electrode effects on the reliability. The gate electrode has both positive and negative influence on BTI and TDDB. Though various TaCx layers were deposited on the same HfSiON layer, high composition of Ta in the TaCx layer and thick TaCx layer improve BTI and mobility, while they deteriorate time to breakdown (Tbd) because of the effects of metal gate induced defects.01/2009;
Conference Paper: Influence of pre-existing and generated traps on reliability in HfSiON/SiO 2 stacks with fluorine incorporation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we investigate the correlation between traps and the degradation of reliability in HfSiON/SiO2 stacks with F incorporation. It was found that the nature of generated traps corresponds to that of pre-existing traps. Namely new traps cannot be generated if there is no seeds traps which can be eliminate by F incorporation. The controlling pre-existing electron traps which work as seeds traps is effective for suppression of degradation. As TDDB and BTI lifetime strongly depends on trap characteristics, such as positions and their levels, the dominant traps concerning the degradations differ for each reliability characteristic, and also depending on stress polarities in FETs.Reliability Physics Symposium, 2008.

Article: Impact of Polarity of Gate Bias and Hf Concentration on Breakdown of HfSiON/ Gate Dielectrics[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have investigated the impact of polarity of gate bias and Hf concentration on HfSiON/SiO2 gate dielectric breakdown (DB) with time-zero DB (TZDB) and time-dependent DB (TDDB). At TZDB, the gate leakage currents at breakdown (BD) under negative bias are much smaller than those with positive bias without regard to accumulation or inversion states. Since the electric fields at BD are not all the same, the BD mechanism cannot be explained with a simple thermochemical model for all types of stress for HfSiON gate dielectric. With TDDB, the electric-field acceleration constant is dependent on the Hf concentration. Calculated active dipole moments in HfSiON have been shown to be similar to theoretical values for nMOS but not pMOS. Thermochemic BD of HfSiON, itself (not interface SiO2), is adequate to describe nMOS in the inversion state. On the other hand, the BD of pMOS in the inversion state is affected by the carrier currents and not the electric fields as the TZDB. The BD mechanisms are strongly dependent on both the polarity of the gate bias and the Hf concentration.IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices 10/2007; · 2.06 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Breakdown Voltage Prediction of Ultra-Thin Gate Insulator in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Based on Anode Hole Injection Model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A prediction model for the breakdown voltage of ultra-thin gate insulator in electrostatic discharge (ESD) is proposed. The time-dependent-dielectric-breakdown characteristics under DC stress successfully predicts ESD oriented dielectric breakdown on the basis of the modified anode hole injection model. The proposed model redistributes experimental breakdown voltages and number of pulses to breakdown in extensive gate voltages and gate insulator thicknesses. In conclusion, the present model is quite effective for the prediction of ESD reliability in highly scaled ULSI devicesReliability Physics Symposium Proceedings, 2006. 44th Annual., IEEE International; 04/2006
Article: Effects of Nitrogen Concentration and Post-treatment on Reliability of HfSiON Gate Dielectrics in Inversion States[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have studied the effects of nitrogen concentration ([N]=N/(Hf+Si+O+N)) in HfSiON films and post-nitridation annealing (PNA) conditions on the reliability of metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) with HfSiON gate dielectrics in inversion states with constant voltage stress. In nMOS case, higher [N] and lower PNA temperatures are effective to reduce stress induced leakage current (SILC). SILC is related to crystallinity in HfSiON films. On the other hand, only small SILCs were observed in pMOSs, and the currents were independent of [N] and PNA temperatures without regard to crystallinity in the HfSiON films. Differences in SILC behavior between nMOS and pMOS are related to the electron transport mechanism. It is thought that SILC was generated by increasing positive oxygen vacancies whose energy level is near the conduction band edge of HfSiON. Since electrons in pMOS move through the deep trap level, their transit is independent of positive oxygen vacancies. For highly reliable HfSiON gate films, it is important to form homogeneous and amorphous HfSiON films.Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 01/2006; 45:2949-2953. · 1.07 Impact Factor

Conference Paper: Significant role of cold carriers for dielectric breakdown in HfSiON[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dielectric breakdown mechanisms in HfSiON were thoroughly investigated by utilizing the substrate hot carrier injection. It was found that the total hole fluence (Qp) dose not dominate the breakdown in HfSiON. Furthermore, it was experimentally clarified that the injected electrons into HfSiON have the significant role for the breakdown, irrespective of their potential energy. This result strongly suggests that the roles of injected cold electrons in HfSiON are remarkably different from those in SiO2 and SiON.VLSI Technology, 2004.

Friends and Family Pay Tribute to the Late Robin Williams
As we struggle to make sense of the death of Robin Williams, we've spent some time here remembering him as a person and his work. We're obviously just a few of the many, many people Robin Williams touched during his lifetime. Among them are the many people he worked with over the years, from his days as a guest star on 'Happy Days' to his upcoming role in 'Night at the Museum 3.' Below are some thoughts, prayers and remembrances from friends and family who had the pleasure of knowing him both on- and off-screen.
RIP Robin Williams: A Look Back at the Late Actor's Best Work
Robin Williams' death is shocking and heartbreaking and touches us in a way usually reserved for close friends. Maybe that's because we're of a generation that grew up on Robin Williams. He's been making us laugh and cheering us up since we were kids; like a big-screen father figure. That he died suffering from severe depression, makes the news all the more tragic. As director Garry Marshall, who first cast Williams in 'Happy Days' and later 'Mork and Mindy,' said today, "He could make everybody happy but himself."
He made everyone happy and in that spirit, we'd like to celebrate his work, and we asked a few of our writers to look back at their favorite moments of his career.

Sarah Palin Goes Rogue, Scribbles Out John McCain's Name on Blue Visorby Free Britney at . Comments
Is Sarah Palin going rogue? You betcha, and with a permanent marker this time! Check out what she just did to a nice John McCain 2008 campaign visor!
The former governor and last year's failed V.P. nominee is on vacation with her son Trig, her daughter Piper and her heterosexual spouse Todd in Hawaii.
Sarah chose to wear a visor from the '08 campaign, and for whatever reason, decided she didn't want to advertise the Republican on top of the ticket.
Check out her vote against John McCain ... scrawled with black ink:
Sarah Palin had no other visors around, but did have a marker.
In addition to the odd political non-statement emblazoned on her dome, Palin's t-shirt read "If you don't love America, then why don't you get the hell out."
Spoken like a true ambassador.
We apologize for a little good-natured ribbing at Sarah's expense. But even her supporters have to see the humor in (or at least scratch their heads at) this.
Do you like Sarah Palin?
She is an idiot
How accurate is any of this reporting? I thought it was her husband who wore the t shirt. I admire Sarah Palin's conservative financial values, especially when in office in Wassilla and then as governor. Woud I vote for her as president? We've done a lot worse. Now that we have George Bush 4 in the White House, I yearn for the days of Ronald Reagan and even Jimmy Carter!
I don't care at all about the visor, but what person wanting to be president wears a shirt that says that? Does she get to decide what it means to "love America" for me?
Sarah rocks!!
This is certainly gossip.
I think this fame wh*re has done this to keep the publicity going. If not, all the gift shops have visors. They even have them for the baby. Do we get the sunburn pix tomorrow?
I can't believe the fear the media has for this lovely woman. Oh by the way, I'm heterosexual also, whatever that has to do with anything.
I am given to understand that there was some rather snarky writing in this article. In my case, it was effectively drowned out by the volume of Awesome pouring out of the two pictures of the 45th President of the United States at the top of the page. Oh...what's a John McCain? Never mind, can't be important.
I'd scratch his out name too. LOVE SARAH!!!

Trojan Women.
(photo credit:AVIRAM SHAHINO)
Starting December 29, the Cameri Theater presents Euripides's timeless masterpiece The Trojan Women, co-produced with the Metropolitan Theater of Tokyo and staged by prominent Japanese theater and film director Yukio Ninagawa.The Trojan Women is Euripides's third tragedy in a cycle. The ancient Greek play follows the fate of the women of Troy after their city has been sacked, their husbands killed and, as their remaining families are about to be taken away as slaves, they are to be married to the enemy.Taking part in this unique co-production are Japanese and Israeli (Jewish and Arab) actors. The Japanese premiere took place about a month ago and was a great success. Earlier this year Ninagawa, together with a team of his colleagues, came to Israel for a brief visit, during which he held auditions in Tel Aviv.Ninagawa, who is famous for his productions of Japanese drama and – mostly – for his renditions of Shakespearean and Greek tragedies, started his theater career as an actor."I became an actor because I failed the entry exams for the university and I did not have anything much to do," he admits with a smile.In the mid-1960s, New Wave Theater came into being in Japan, and Ninagawa felt he wasn't suited to be an actor anymore. "There was a small underground theater movement in Japan. For me it was like revelation, and I decided to become a director," he says.Ninagawa recalls that before that, everybody in Japan tried to copy European theater. "But in the 1960s, totally unknown young people came to theater, and they wanted to change things. This was the time of student revolutions, and you could see the riot police in the streets and on stage. That was a kind of social theater," he says Ninagawa created and disbanded several acting troupes before becoming a theater director who works in Japan and Europe. His name is mostly associated with European repertoire performed in Japanese. His productions are both famous and controversial. Some people accept his work and some oppose it – but no one is left indifferent.In his work, Ninagawa has moved away from copying the European language and has introduced elements of the national Kabuki theater, which he also uses in his European plays. He says that for the Japanese culture, it is characteristic to preserve its own tradition and to absorb everything from Europe: "All this coexists within Japanese culture," he says.Why did Ninagawa want to participate in this project? "We have worked in many theaters in Europe but not in the Middle East.This is a new experience for us. We are learning about this way of making theater and also learning more about our own culture and to respect each other more," he says.Asked about his impressions of Israeli actors, both Jews and Arabs, the director responds, "They are very expressive and very fierce, far more than in Japan. We in Japan do not have the kind of conflict you have here. And also, by nature, we don't like to break order. If it goes well, we want to keep it. That is the Japanese mentality."What about the Israeli mentality? "It is a very fighting spirit, very fierce.For me, it will be hard work to stage the play with Israeli actors," he says.Why did he choose this particular play? "The play is about the conqueror and the conquered. But also here – conqueror and the conquered go together on stage."In regard to the difference between Jewish and Arab actors, Ninagawa says, "The Jews are calmer. That said, they both are far fiercer than us."As for how he chose the actors during the auditions, he says, "I do not understand the language, so for me the only criterion was their ability to express feelings. That is all."So how will he put together fierce Israeli actors with their introverted and conservative Japanese counterparts? "That will be quite a task, and an interesting one!" laughs the director.From December 29, The Trojan Women will be performed at the Cameri Theater in Tel Aviv.Follow @JPost_Lifestyle
