Traditionally, the semiconductor manufacturing industry has been driven by continuous technological advancement of the underlying production processes. Yet, as the industry matures, mere technology development is no longer suf®cient. The effective deployment and exploitation of the system production capacity and operational capability become critical for competitive success. Hence, currently, t...

300 mm semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities, like conventional semiconductor fabs, contain many different types of tools. In this paper we discuss a realistic way of representing cluster tools in a simulation model of the entire line. A more realistic representation of cluster tools results in greater accuracy in the output of the simulation model.

MCM-D has been the solution for integrated high density packaging due to its superior line resolution and higher I/O density compared to MCM-C and MCM-L technologies. However, the consumer demand for high performance products at reduced costs is ever increasing, and this trend is expected to continue in the 21st Century. In order to find a low-cost solution for future MCM-D packaging, a novel p...

BACKGROUND In cases where the acetabular labrum is severely damaged and irreparable, labral reconstructions are becoming an increasingly preferred means of preserving the fluid seal effect of the labrum. However, the graft that most closely replicates the biomechanical properties of the native labrum remains undetermined. PURPOSE To characterize the tensile properties and geometry of the labr...

The effect of particle size on shear strength of granular materials are investigated using direct shear tests. Small direct shear test (60 mm by 60 mm by 24 mm deep) were conducted for particles passing the sieves with opening size of 2.36 mm. Meanwhile, particles passing the standard 20 mm sieves were tested using large direct shear test (300 mm by 300 mm by 200 mm deep). The large direct shea...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect variations in diameter and number nozzles on power efficiency Pelton turbine. research method is experimentally using a miniature turbine installation with 3 nozzles. Variations nozzle diameters 4 mm, 5 6 mm distance 80 90 100 rotation from 300 700 rpm. results showed that blade produced maximum efficiency, namely 30.00 watts 34.79%, respect...

Prolonged neutropenia after dose-dense chemotherapy with pegfilgrastim In the dose-dense (DD) chemotherapy trial result reported by Piedbois et al. [1], they found more hematological toxicity leading to treatment discontinuation in the pegfilgrastim supported DD chemotherapy arm. The manufacturer's product information for pegfilgrastim indicates that it should be used once per chemotherapy cycl...

This study investigated the effects of high temperature exposure on the compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths of concrete containing glass fiber. A total of 108 cubic specimens (150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm), cylindrical specimens (300 mm × 150 mm), and prismatic specimens (500 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm) were prepared for compressive, tensile, and flexural strength testing, respectively. The spec...
