Electrical characterization of plasma-enhanced Cvd silicon nitride dielectric on copper
… and hence is termed as the Low-cost-integration (LCI) MIM. The LCI MIM uses copper as the bottom electrode, plasma enhanced silicon nitride as the dielectric, and Tantalum nitride as the top electrode. The target capacitance density is 1.5fF/mum2. The target leakage current is 1e-7A/cm2 at 3.3V at …

LUNG CLEARANCE INDEX: a new biomarker of ventilation inhomogeneity in pediatric respiratory diseases.
… meter. For all tests, the lung clearance index (LCI) is the parameter that is most often used to evaluate ventilatory inhomogeneity. Because it is sufficient to breathe with a normal tidal volume during the examination, this examination is particularly suitable for studying respiratory function, …
