The homeless-looking man you see in that picture is Sharks defenseman Brent Burns.
Some players might come into camp out of shape or overweight after having no hockey action for over six months. That's going to be the case for a bunch of guys this season. But it might be safe to say no other player will be reuniting with his team with a dead bear on his face like Burns did.
Here's Burns in his official team photo, looking like he just crawled out of a hole in the woods he's been living in with little-to-no regard for personal hygiene for the duration of the lockout. Yes, we know hockey players are known for unkempt appearances, what with their scraggly beards and gap-toothed grins. But the DGAF attitude Burns gives off here makes the whole picture more remarkable.
God knows how this man ever got to be named one of the "hottest players in the NHL" this season. Seriously.
Alas, this isn't the first time Burns has had an awkward and weird team photo. Puck Daddy cleverly compiled the "evolution" of Burns and his varying amounts of hair through the years:

GAINESVILLE, Fla. Reduce, recycle and rebuild is as important to the most basic component of the human body, the cell, as it is to the environment.
And a University of Florida study shows just how much the body benefits when it goes green, at least if youre a rat: Cutting calories helps rodents live longer by boosting cells ability to recycle damaged parts so they can maintain efficient energy production.
Caloric restriction is a way to extend life in animals. If you give them less food, the stress of this healthy habit actually makes them live longer, said Christiaan Leeuwenburgh, Ph.D., chief of the division of biology of aging in UFs Institute on Aging.
Understanding how the process works at the cellular level in rodents could help scientists develop drugs that mimic the process in humans, Leeuwenburgh added.
How does it work? During the aging process, free radicals highly reactive byproducts of our cells respiration wreak havoc on our cellular machinery. Mitochondria, the tiny power plants that keep a cell functioning, are especially vulnerable to this type of damage.
The effects can be disastrous if malfunctioning mitochondria arent removed, they begin to spew out suicidal proteins that prompt the entire cell to die. Cell death, on a whole-body scale, is what aging is all about.
Fortunately, younger cells are adept at reducing, recycling and rebuilding.
In this process, damaged mitochondria are quickly swallowed up and degraded. The broken down pieces are then recycled and used to build new mitochondria. However, older cells are less adept at this process, so damaged mitochondria tend to accumulate and contribute to aging.
Cell survival is dependent upon the ability of the cell to reduce and recycle by a mechanism called autophagy, said William Dunn Jr., Ph.D., a professor of anatomy and cell biology in UFs College of Medicine and senior author of the study, which was published

"Starts Strong, Then Wanders"
The Believing Brain starts strong, delivering on its title promise about why people believe such strange things. Then the author begins to wander. By mid-way the book starts becoming a recap of material from other books.
The section on politics particularly wanders. For an extended section it's about the author's own political beliefs, and subtly why those beliefs are rational, implying others' beliefs are not.
From there the book goes on to discuss cognitive biases, the history of science, and the scientific method. All of these topics are much better covered in other books specific to those subjects.
"Really, really interesting stuff."
I was skeptical of this book at first. Then I really got into it. And found myself nodding along as I listened. Perhaps I was merely subdued by my innate confirmation bias... ;-) Good stuff.
"Dr. Shermer is a skeptic's hero!"
Yes, I probably will. There's a lot of information to grasp, and listening to a second time will help me recall the information in discussions on these topics.
Non-fiction, no characters.
A lot of science history is presented (maye a little too much, to be honest).
I enjoyed the part on religion, which is my big personal point of interest.
Dr. Shermer does an excellent job of cutting through the noise and laying out the argument for skepticism. I really enjoyed this book, but here are my few thoughts as to what prevented it from getting five stars:
1. I tend to be more liberal than Dr. Shermer, so his section on politics ruffled my feathers a bit. He didn't work overly hard to present an unbiased view, instead laying out a basic arguement for civil liberarianism. It was still a good section, but I found myself wanting to argue with some of the things that were written there.
2. Dr. Shermer does the *funniest* voices sometimes when he is quoting people, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't realize it. Even when quoting someone he really respects, he does this funny mock impersonation that sounds like he is making fun of them. I actually really enjoyed that, so it didn't ding my rating at all.
3. The book ran a little unneccessarily long at points, especially at the end. I feel like Dr. Shermer could've said everything he wanted to say in half the words, but then some editor came and prodded him into making it longer to maximize profits. I think this book could've almost succeeded better in the micro book format used by Sam Harris.
Overall, still well worth the read! I intend to get more books by Dr. Shermer soon.
"Hello... this is kermit the frog here."
Good book but the Narrator sounds to much like Kermit the frog. Extremely distracting. I will be watching out for books read by him.
"Good Info but petty in some points"
The info is solid but the tone can be petty at times. A professional narrator would have helped smooth over some of those rough edges.
"Balanced & comprehensive within its scope"
I expected this to be somewhat of a diatribe against having a belief in God.
I was impressed by the high degree of professional integrity. He constrained his personal biases primarily to anecdotal and incidental comments. Instead, he employed an abundance of scientific studies regarding how our brains function to deceive us and then deceive us about much we have been deceived.
This book is a worthy read regardless of your personal beliefs about God. If you actually use your brain to think about anything, then you would benefit from this material.
"Enjoyable and Educational"
I really enjoyed listening and plan to now read the actual printed book. Very enlightening made me want to learn more.
"The ending was best"
Unlike The Moral Arc, Shermer gave this a strong ending. Arc went into his "feelings" and "beliefs" about libertarianism at the end, rather than a "purely" scientific realm. Trying to "prove" libertarianism is somewhat farfetched after all the books I've read on both sides. It's not like there is any consensus as there is in the scientific community for Global Warming... I was more excited about science in Believing Brain at the end. Overall it was a good learning experience. RTC
Underhand's chief engineer
"Mostly fair look at why we want to believe"
It's a good listen. Shermer has a great rhythm that keeps almost the entire narration from feeling tedious. The arguments he presents are compelling and based on his decades of research. However, the one chapter he dedicates to political ideology seems a bit too biased. He plainly states his views and after discouraging stereotypes, seems to imply that political leanings are one area where reason can't trump impulse. Indeed, the chapter almost feels like a justification for his own political beliefs.
The main detractor... Despite all of his evidence, he never addressed whether behavioral traits are really inherent or encouraged through social norms.
"Very good...but a few weird mistakes..."
I very much enjoyed this audiobook! There were some odd mistakes and mispronunciations, but it didn't detract from the content too much. Even if one disagrees with Shermer's beliefs or messages, which even I do on occasion, there is plenty to be garnered from this book, and that is due in large part to how accessible Shermer wrote this book to be. I highly recommend it!

Arizona Cardinals
Kurt Warner: 'Very, very difficult' to gauge quarterbacks
Sorry Arizona Cardinals fans, Kurt Warner is not walking through the proverbial door to save the team.
"I could not do anything for you; I've been sitting on the couch doing nothing for three years," Warner told ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike Friday. "Although people remember me on the football field I know I couldn't do any of that right now."
Warner, who now works as an analyst for the NFL Network, threw for 8,336 yards and 56 touchdowns over his final two years with the Cardinals. He led the Cardinals to a pair of NFC West titles as well as Super Bowl XLIII in his final two seasons as a player.
He retired in January of 2010, though, and the team has struggled mightily to replace him ever since.
Matt Leinart, Derek Anderson, Max Hall, Rich Bartel, John Skelton, Kevin Kolb and Ryan Lindley have all gotten an opportunity to be "the guy", but none have succeeded in the role.
Arizona's failed quest to find a quarterback has led to struggles on the field. The Cardinals, who went 24-18 with Warner as a starter under head coach Ken Whisenhunt, boasted one of the NFL's best offenses with him under center. Since he's left the team, the Cardinals have gone just 17-26.
"That's why it's so difficult to replace top quarterbacks when you expect a certain type of play," Warner said. "We've seen it around the league, when Hall of Fame quarterbacks leave it's very difficult to find that next guy.
"I think one of the reasons is because the expectation is always so high."
The team's struggles to replace Warner underscore the challenge a team has in finding a quality passer. The Cardinals have added options through free agency, the draft and trade, but have yet to find an answer.
"It's a very, very difficult position to gauge before you see somebody behind center in a football game," he said. "You can take a guy in a practice or you can evaluate a guy going into the draft and think you're getting something, and when you put him behind center and put him in some different situations they react completely different than what you expected."

The holiday season is all about giving — not only to your family and friends, but also to those who need a little extra help.
That's especially true this year, with the economy still struggling to recover and continued high unemployment rates. Oklahoma has suffered less than many other states, but there are plenty of people in financial need, and contributions to some local charities are down this year.

As an extension of yesterday's post , recall that HPFS is a prospective cohort (read observational) study of 51,529 men followed for 20 years during which 1,818 had their first heart attack. Alcohol consumption was assessed by validated questionnaire every 4 years. After the usual statistical manipulations, the authors noted that consuming anywhere from 0.1-9.9g/day of alcohol as associated w/22% relative risk reduction in all-cause mortality compared to not consuming any alcohol at all. Those who consumed 10-29.9g/d could look forward to 34% relative risk reduction while those who consumed 30g/d or more only received 13% relative risk reduction compared to the teetotalers. Bear in mind that a beer was estimated to have 12.8g alcohol, a glass of wine 11g, and a shot of liquor 14g.
For what it's worth, I noted that smoking appeared to be linked to increase in alcohol consumption. Regardless, 4 out of 5 men were married, average body mass index as overweight at 26+kg/m2, 2 out of 5 had hypertension, 1 in 2 used aspirin, and 1 in 6 used a lipid lowering agent. One final point: before you attempt to apply the results of a study, ask yourself how similar are you to the trial participants. While I could not find age & race details, other articles & analyses have pointed out that most of the men were/are Caucasian who were 40-75yo back in 1986. So if the demographics fit you and you've survived your first heart attack, think about having that V8 (or glass of wine daily).

Historical Traveler Reviews Macdonald Burlington Hotel Birmingham
Okay - but not much else
Stayed here for business reasons and booked a single room. Huge, very comfortable bathroom, but extremely small, crowded bedroom, with small bed. OK for 1 night but not for 3. Room in need of updating - I know other single rooms are much bigger so if you are after a single room, make sure you check what size you will get before booking. Conference facilities okay, but nothing more and there are much better around. I needed to post an urgent letter, which I did at reception, but it never arrived. I have stayed in better hotels for the price and was quite disappointed.
Good location and a cosy hotel
After having had to stay at the quality hotel the week before (NEVER GO THERE)! The Burlington came as a pleasant surprise. I like MacDonald hotels. I have stayed with them in Stratford-upon Avon, Chester and Edinburgh and have not been disappointed.
Like the others I have stayed in the room was very tidy if not a little old fashioned although I understand that some more modern rooms are being developed at an additional cost to stay. It was very clean the only disappointing thing being that where things like the headboard had been moved holes in the wall had not been filled in.
The bed was very comfortable and also absolutely HUGE however it had blankets instead of a quilt, which personally I prefer. The bathroom had excellent toiletries but be warned the non-slip mat is in the shower for a reason. I came a very nasty cropper the first night I was just stopped short from breaking my leg. I don't know what they clean the bath with but whatever it is it beware the bath!
Room service was disappointing. The first evening my chicken came with literally 2 inches of gravy on it and the second night the fish part of my fish and chips was not very nice at all. Breakfast was also in my opinion a little average.
When I was there the bar was mobbed with a conference and the barmaid struggled to serve everyone but she did try hard. The location of the hotel is great right in the city centre on New Street.
All in all it was a fine stay. Nothing spectacular but then again nothing too much to grumble about. So far I have stayed in the Quality, Malmaison and the Hyatt I would probably rank this behind the Hyatt and just a little behind Malmaison although the price is a lot cheaper.
Sophisticated hotel in the Midlands
It was a pleasure to stay here for two weekend nights in early December, 2004. I cashed in some of my Fairfield timeshare points through the ---- website. The professional and friendly staff allowed me to check luggage early in the morning, even though my room was not ready until the regular time in the afternoon. A superb breakfast buffet each morning was included in the deal, with orange juice and coffee included free. This was once an old railway hotel, so it has character and charm. My single bedroom was somewhat small but nicely furnished and the bathroom was excellent. I was using a four day British rail pass to explore England, and this location could not be better. Not only is the hotel directly adjacent to the main "New Street" train station, but service is available to all points. It is a good alternative to base yourself here rather than London if your train pass allows unlimited travel. The fast trains connect to London's Euston Station every 30 minutes and the journey is just over one hour. Birmingham itself is a nice city with scenic restored canals and fine shopping.
Not exactly inspiring!
Stayed in this hotel in December overnight whilst attending a Christmas party. The hotel itself isn't one I would particularly stay in again - it was a little "rough around the edges" and the internal decor was a little lacking. Also, I stayed in a non-smoking room which needed the window opening for several hours to get rid of the smell of smoke! To make matters worse there was an ashtray left outside of the room for someone to collect. On arrival at the hotel with 2 large suitcases none of the door staff made any attempt to help me. I cannot fault the receptionists on both checking in and out - they were very polite and helpful. The breakfast was average for a hotel. Not a great hotel and I would not recommend staying there - you are better off at Malmaison.
Burlington in Birmingham is fantastic!!
We went for dinner into the the city center.
After a great evening in the city we don't wanted to drive home so we ask for a double room in Burlington Hotel.
I can tell you this hotel is fantastic!
The room was so nice and you feel like in a dream.
I enjoyed to stay there for this night.
The room and also the bathroom are very big.
Breakfast in the morning was delicious.
A good start for discover the city!!
We also stayed in a hotel in Sutton Coldfield which has also 4 Stars. But you can't compare it!!
Only if you can't find a park bench!
Used to stay here a couple years ago, may be it's changed recently.
Although cheap for a city centre hotel, I paid �70/night, this is a seriously substandard hotel, in poor decorative order, many rooms are very small, shower was faulty, TV broken, staff with a bad attitude.
Worst thing is sometimes the above average la a carte resturant switch to producing carvery style self-service of meals that remind me of school dinners. I guess the chef has a day off or they are busy catering large parties.
Left my heart in the Burlington
i thought the Burlington would be expensive compared to the Briar Rose - it is but the customer service is the best I have had and the Executive rooms are superb with a good eye for detail. The Restaurant is good but the Sommelier needs to know about some cheaper wines !! I feel it is worth the extra bob or two to have a room here as you do feel valued.
Mixed feelings
I stayed at the Burlington for a weekend in December. Its a splendid building and the dining room is particularly impressive. The breakfast (Buffet style) is excellent. However I found the staff somewhat unhelpful and it is difficult to have a meal in the evening without going to the rather expensive restaurant. A word of warning do not make any phonecalls from the hotel rooms....very expensive!.
Fantastic, Made My Weekend
We went to Birmingham on Thursday and checked into another hotel (Fawlty Towers eat your heart out!). We decided to move from this hotel over to the Burlington which was the same price but a totally different experience.
The hotel is situated in a small arcade of boutiques which gives it an exclusive feel. The hotel reception is large, bright and the staff are very welcoming.We checked in and were offered help with our bags. I think that there was some problem with our booking so we were upgraded from a double to a triple, I don't know what the problem was because the staff sorted it out without causing us any hassle.
We went up to our rooms (one triple, one single) which were bright and airy. The triple room was huge with a table, two big armchairs and masses of storage space. The bathroom was huge and the shower was a powerful one. The complimentary items were refilled daily and if you required anything, you only had to ask. The staff were so nice and always greeted you in passing. If you asked any questions, they were willing to go and find out for you if they didn't know.
The breakfasts was buffet style and they also catered for individual tastes (I'm a veggie) all you had to do was ask. The restaurant was very reasonable (they gave us money off vouchers too when checking in which covered the wine!)
The hotel is situated in the middle of the shopping area and everything is within walking distance which was handy for dropping off your shopping a few times a day!!!!!!
All in all this hotel was a fabulous hotel, exceptionally clean, convenient and a pleasure to stay in. It was exceptionally reasonable and I would recommend this hotel in second.
The Burlington, New Street, Birmingham
What a splendid hotel with 112 rooms it reeks of quality and grandure.. Although built in victorian times it was fully refurbished in 1995. It is privatelty owned and with 4 stars offers the finest quality and service. It has also got a purpose built conference suite able to have about 450 delegates. The Berlioz restaurant has fine cuisine. There is a leisure centre on the top floor.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a hybrid solar cell that could increase the maximum efficiency of solar panels by 25% or more. The research detailing these potential energy gains was published today in Nano Letters.
Traditional solar cells are only capable of capturing part of the light from the sun and much of the energy of the absorbed light, particularly of the blue photons, is lost as heat. This inability to extract the full energy of all of the different colors of light at once means that traditional solar cells are incapable of converting more than 34% of the available sunlight into electrical power.
The hybrid cell can absorb red light and uses the energy of blue light to boost the electrical current. Typically, a solar cell generates a single electron for each photon captured. However, by adding pentacene, an organic semiconductor, the solar cells can generate two electrons for every photon from the blue light spectrum. This could enable the cells to capture 44% of the incoming solar energy.
Bruno Ehrler, the lead author on the paper, says: "Organic and hybrid solar cells have an advantage over current silicon-based technology because they can be produced in large quantities at low cost by roll-to-roll printing. However, much of the cost of a solar power plant is in the land, labor, and installation hardware. As a result, even if organic solar panels are less expensive, we need to improve their efficiency to make them competitive. Otherwise, it'd be like buying a cheap painting, only to find out you need an expensive frame."

I have spent about 80 nights in Residence Inns since 2001.
This was by far the least comfortable stay I have had in one.
House keeping is not cleaning:
1) No less than 15 spiders in small webs in every corner of the room.
2) Walked barefoot on the carpet and got black feet.
3) Open/Close Curtains and got a face full of dust and dirt.
The bed was the very mushy, not just soft but mushy. below average pillows as well.
Pool has a safety issue. You need key card to get in and out. If there is some emergency and you don't have key card handy, you are locked in. The fence has a crash bar that is chained closed.
Breakfast was good
Staff was friendly and professional
Prepay price was great

Article: -WiNoC: Exploring Scalable Wireless On-Chip Micronetworks for Heterogeneous Embedded Many-Core SoCs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Modern embedded SoC design uses a rapidly increasing number of processing units for ubiquitous computing, forming the so called embedded many-core SoCs (McSoC). Such McSoC devices allow superior performance gains while side-stepping the power and heat dissipation limitations of clock frequency scaling. The main advantage lies in the exploitation of parallelism, distributively and massively. Consequently, the on-chip communication fabric becomes the performance determinant. To bridge the widening gap between computation requirements and communication efficiency faced by gigascale McSoCs in the upcoming billion-transistor era, a new on-chip communication system, dubbed Wireless Network-on-Chip (WiNoC), has been proposed by using the recently developed RF interconnect technology. With the high data-rate, low power and ultra-short range interconnection provided by UWB technology, the WiNoC design paradigm calls for effective solutions to overhaul the on-chip communication infrastructure of gigascale McSoCs.
Conference Paper: Effect of ozone radical treatment for high-performance poly-Si TFTs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High-performance low-temperature poly-Si thin film transistor (LTPS-TFT) with one-dimensionally elongated long crystal grains have been developed. In the LTPS TFTs, the carrier mobility is enhanced, however the off-leakage current also increase. This is because, grain boundary become longer, and bridge the distance between source and drain, and the grain boundary bridge become a current-leakage path. In this paper, we suggest a novel ozone radical treatment for reducing the off-leakage current.2014 21st International Workshop on Active-Matrix Flatpanel Displays and Devices (AM-FPD); 07/2014
Article: 5-Gb/s and 10-GHz Center-Frequency Gaussian Monocycle Pulse Transmission Using 65-nm Logic CMOS With On-Chip Dipole Antenna and High- (kappa ) Interposer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Interchip data transmission was demonstrated using impulse radio ultrawideband complementary metal-oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) transmitter integrate circuits withon-chip dipole antennas. A differential pseudorandom binary sequence of (2^{7}) data of Gaussian monocycle pulse (GMP) was formed by 65-nm CMOS logic circuits using up- and down-pulses with certain gate delays. The CMOS transmitter generated 5-Gb/s GMP with the center frequency of 10 GHz. To improve transmission gains, an interposer with the high dielectric constant ( (varepsilon _{textrm r} =38)) and optimized thickness was inserted under the CMOS chips as a dielectric slab waveguide. 2-Gb/s GMP signals were transmitted and received in the distance of 10 mm by use of the CMOS on-chip antennas and the high- (kappa ) interposer.IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology 07/2014; 4(7):1193-1200.

ABSTRACT: The variability in measurements of complex permittivities of tumor tissues between multiple samples could be attributed to the volume fraction of cancer cells in the excised tumor tissue. By the use of a digital photomicrograph image and hematoxylin-eosin staining, it was found that the malignant tumor tissue was not fully occupied by the cancer cells, but the cells were distributed locally in the stroma cells depending on the growth of cancer. The results showed that the volume fraction of cancer cells in the tumor tissue had a correlation to the measured conductivity and dielectric constant in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 6 GHz. It introduces a method to understand and gauge variability in measurements between different tumors.Applied Physics Letters 06/2014; 104(25):253702-253702-5.

Article: Three-dimensional Confocal imaging for breast cancer detection using CMOS Gaussian monocycle pulse transmitter and 4 × 4 ultra wideband antenna array with impedance matching layer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A time-domain reflectometry breast cancer detection system was developed, which was composed of a Gaussian monocycle pulse (GMP) transmitter circuit fabricated by complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 65 nm technology and an ultra wide-band (UWB) planar slot antenna array. The center frequency and bandwidth of the antenna were 6 and 9.2 GHz, respectively. The GMP train having the pulse width of 160 ps was generated by the 65 nm CMOS logic circuit with a core area of 0.0017 mm2 and was emitted by the 4 × 4 planar slot antenna array. The fabricated planar 4 × 4 antenna array with the matching layer could resolve the two separate 5 × 5 × 5 mm3 breast tumor phantoms, which were located at the depth of 22 mm with the spacing of 8 mm.Japanese Journal of Applied Physics 03/2014; 53(4S):04EL03.

Conference Paper: Low resistance Ohmic Contact Formation of Ni Silicide on Partially Si Ion Implanted n(+) 4H-SiC[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this research, a partial amorphization is introduced to form a Nickel suicide ohmic contact for a 4H-SiC bottom electrode. In a conventional Nickel suicide electrode, a carbon agglomeration at the silicide/SiC interface occurs, and constant resistance between Ni silicide and SiC substrate becomes larger. To reduce the contact resistance, a partial amorphization of the surface of SiC substrate was introduced. By this partial amorphization, the space position of the carbon agglomeration is controlled, and contact resistance can be reduced. As a result, with an amorphous 100 nm line pattern, a reliable contact resistance of 1.9x10(-3) Omega cm(2) is realized.15th International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials; 01/2014
Article: Improved beamforming algorithm for imaging reconstruction for early breast cancer detection by UWB[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ultra-wide band (UWB) microwave imaging is a promising method for the breast cancer detection based on the large contrast of electric parameters between the malignant tumor and its surrounded normal organisms. In this paper, a two-dimensional model of the breast organisms is numerically carried by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The dispersion characteristics of the breast media are taken into account by single pole Debye model to approach the actual properties of the breast organism. In this method, a tumor is assumed in the model with two cases. The standard Capon beamforming (SCB) and doubly constrained robust Capon beamforming (DCRCB) algorithm performed to reconstruct the image is described in detail. The tumor can be detected and localized using the proposed algorithm and the result demonstrates a good stability of DCRCB algorithm.Journal of Circuits System and Computers 01/2014; 22(10).

ABSTRACT: This paper describes scaling limitations and challenges of Self-Aligned STI cell (SA-STI cell) over 2X–0X nm generations for NAND flash memories. The scaling challenges are categorized to (1) narrow Read Window Margin (RWM) problem, (2) structural challenge, and (3) high field (5–10 MV/cm) problem. First, (1) the narrow RWM is investigated by extrapolating physical phenomena of FG–FG coupling interference, Electron Injection Spread (EIS), Back Pattern Dependence (BPD), and Random Telegraph Noise (RTN). The RWM is degraded not only by increasing programmed Vt distribution width, but also by increasing Vt of erase state mainly due to large FG–FG coupling interference. However, RWM is still positive in 1Z nm (10 nm) generation with 60% reduction of FG–FG coupling by air-gap process. For (2) structural challenge, the Control Gate (CG) fabrication margin between Floating Gates (FGs) is becoming much severer beyond 1X nm generation. Very narrow 5 nm FG width/space has to be controlled. For (3) high field problem, high field between CGs (word lines; WLs) is critical during program. By using WL air-gap, high field problem can be mitigated, and 1Y/1Z nm generation seems to be realized. Therefore, the SA-STI cell is expected to be able to scale down to 1Z nm (10 nm) generation, with the air gap of 60% reduced FG–FG coupling interference and an accurate control of FG/CG formation process.Solid-State Electronics 04/2013; 82:54–62.

ABSTRACT: For application to an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) portable breast cancer detection system, a 102.4 GS/s sampling circuit is developed. The high sampling rate is realized by an equivalent-time sampling technique and a low-power multi-clock generation circuit using a phase interpolator. The phase interpolator achieved a minimum phase resolution 9.8 ps. Using the sampling circuit, a tumor phantom buried by a breast phantom was detected.

ABSTRACT: Advanced dual control gate with surrounding floating gate (DC-SF) cell process and operation schemes are successfully developed for 3-D nand flash memories. To improve performance and reliability of DC-SF cell, new metal control gate last (MCGL) process is developed. The MCGL process can realize a low resistive tungsten (W) metal wordline, a low damage on tunnel oxide/inter-poly dielectric (IPD), and a preferable floating gate (FG) shape. Also, new read and program operation schemes are developed. In the new read operation, the higher and lower Vpass-read are alternately applied to unselected control gates to compensate lowering FG potential to be a pass transistor. In the new program scheme, the optimized Vpass are applied to neighbor WL of selected WL to prevent program disturb and charge loss through IPD. Thus, by using the MCGL process and new read/program schemes, the high performance and reliability of the DC-SF cell can be realized for 3-D nand flash memories.IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices 04/2013; 60(4):1327-1333.

Article: Finite Element Model of Surface Acoustic Wave Method for Mechanical Characterization of Patterned Thin Films of the Ultra-Large Scaled Integrated Interconnect[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) technique is a promising method to determine the mechanical properties of thin low dielectric constant (low-k) dielectrics by matching the experimental dispersion curve with the theoretical dispersion curves. However, it is difficult to calculate the dispersion curves when SAWs propagate along patterned structure. In this paper, finite element method (FEM) is applied to obtain the numerical dispersion results of SAWs propagating on patterned film. Periodic boundary condition and plane-strain model is used to improve the computation speed. Four structures of bulk silicon, single layered low-k film, two layered Cu and SiO2 film, and patterned film, are simulated in this paper. The dispersion curves of single low-k films derived from the FEM simulation agree very well with those calculated by traditional method, which verifies the correct employment of the FEM approach. Dispersion curves of two patterned film structure of Cu and SiO2 with difference metal wire width are obtained. Effective Young's moduli are achieved by fitting the FEM simulated results with those of traditional theoretical calculation through least square error method.Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 02/2013; 13(2):1602-6.

Article: Low-k Mesoporous Pure Silica Zeolite with High Elastic Modulus Using 1,3,5,7-Tetra-Methyl-Cyclo-Tetra-Siloxane and Ultraviolet Treatments[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A low-k pure silica zeolite film with high-elastic modulus was obtained by hydrothermal synthesis. A two-step hydrothermal synthesis method was used for spin-coated zeolite suspension, followed by nitrogen (N-2) annealing at 400 degrees C. 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (TMCTS) silylation treatment and ultraviolet (UV) light (lambda = 172 nm) irradiation was then carried out to promote wear. The effects of the zeolite suspension grain size formed by hydrothermal synthesis on electrical performance and elastic modulus are investigated. Both a high elastic modulus of 5.7 GPa and a low dielectric constant (k = 1.9) were achieved. Moreover, a leakage current density of 10(-9) A/cm(2) at 2 MV/cm was attained.01/2013; 2(4):N89-N92.

ABSTRACT: The loop-to-loop pulsed electromagnetic field wireless signal transfer is investigated with a view on its application in microelectronic systems and devices. The transmitting loop is excited with a monocycle pulse electric current. Closed-form expressions are derived for the emitted magnetic field and for the open-circuit voltage of the receiving loop in dependence on the mutual orientation of the loops and the parameters of the feeding pulse. Numerical results are given for some configurations that are representative for microelectronic wireless signal transfer. They are indicative for the potentialities of the pulsed-field wireless signal transfer concerning the received signal characteristics and the compliance with regulatory specifications on Electro Magnetic Emission.Antennas and Propagation (EUCAP), 2012 6th European Conference on; 01/2012
