- Dr. Hong Zhang
Applied Materials, Inc.; San Jose, California
PRECISION TEM SPECIMEN PREPARATION
Dr. Zhang will discuss techniques that he has developed for the
precision preparation of transmission electron microscope specimens
from microelectronic devices. Process development and failure
analysis often call for a particular single feature, which may be
less than one micron in extent, to be included in the
electron-transparent region of a TEM specimen. It is a considerable
challenge to locate such features and include them in TEM specimens
cut from six-inch wafers. Dr. Zhang is a world leader in developing
techniques for reliably solving this problem.

- Effect of Segregation, Eantanglement and Roughness
on Adhesion in Incompatible Polymer Blends
- V. Janarthanan

- Adhesion in incompatible bilayers depend upon the width
of the interface composition at the interface, molecular
weight, entanglement density, and roughness. All of the
above factors affecting adhesion will be discussed in the
polycarbonate/poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) incompatible
bilayer system with results from each one of the factors.
