Article Synopsis
- Nanotwinned Cu (NT-Cu) is being studied as a material for copper redistribution lines (RDLs) in semiconductor devices, but it faces challenges with oxidation that can increase electrical resistance.
- To tackle this issue, researchers applied three different passivation coatings—immersion Ag/Sn and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) SiCN—to NT-Cu at relatively low temperatures.
- Results showed that these coatings effectively prevented oxidation and maintained low electrical resistance during temperature cycling tests, indicating their potential for improving the reliability of NT-Cu RDLs.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare patterns of ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) loss in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and to examine how well GCIPL thickness can distinguish these conditions from normal eyesight.
- A total of 157 eyes from matched subjects were analyzed using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to measure various thickness parameters of GCIPL and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) for diagnostic comparisons.
- Results indicated no significant differences in thickness between NTG and POAG, but certain GCIPL and RNFL parameters were effective at differentiating these glaucoma types from normal subjects, with minimum GCIPL thickness showing the best diagnostic capability.

Objective: To develop a simple method for evaluating the stability of magnetic resonance (MR) scanner during brain function imaging.
Method: A symmetrical water phantom was scanned using the same sequence and parameters as for brain function imaging. The stability of MR scanner was evaluated in view of the signal levels of phantom images.
