Synthesis And Characterization Of Poly(Amide-Sulfonamides): New Candidates For Reverse Osmosis Membranes., Thevarak Rochanapruk May 1985

Synthesis And Characterization Of Poly(Amide-Sulfonamides): New Candidates For Reverse Osmosis Membranes., Thevarak Rochanapruk

Theses

Commercially available aromatic diamines such as 4,4'-diamino diphenyl ether and 4,4'-diamino diphenyl methylene were treated with N-acetylsulf anilyl chloride to give the amino-sulf onamido-acetanilide derivatives. These derivatives were treated with 6 M hydrochloric acid to give the diamine monomers containing a preformed sulfonamide linkage. These monomers were polymerized with various diacid chlorides using a low temperature solution technique. Polymerizations using the Yamazaki reaction have also been investigated. The polymers obtained were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.


Optimization Of An Elastic Drive Belt System Using An Algorithm Of Automated Optimal Design, Gerald T. Lioy May 1985

Optimization Of An Elastic Drive Belt System Using An Algorithm Of Automated Optimal Design, Gerald T. Lioy

Theses

In this design project an elastic drive belt system is optimized using an algorithm of automated optional design, AOD. First, some basic background information on AOD and elastic drive belt systems is reviewed. An elastic drive belt system configuration is defined, mathematically formulated, and optimized. The mathematical formulation, including a set of constraints, is completely derived. It is set up to be as general as possible so that it may be applied to a wide variety of different problems. In several places the formulation uses the recommendations of an elastic drive belt manufacturer for a good design. A sample design …


Model Automatic Focusing System For Linewidth Measuring Instruments, John Ingraham May 1985

Model Automatic Focusing System For Linewidth Measuring Instruments, John Ingraham

Theses

This paper discusses research on an automatic focusing system for IC-linewidth measuring instruments. The instrument incorporates a collimated light source, a device to move a sample in small, precise increments, and a charge-coupled device. The autofocusing model would measure the step-height of a dielectric sample and correlate the height to a focus position. Thickness of samples on an enlarged scale were measured to verify the feasibility of this device.

A Comparative Analysis Of Dna Molecular Crosslinking By Dichloro-N-Substituted Azaadamantane Isomers, Harry Robbins May 1985

A Comparative Analysis Of Dna Molecular Crosslinking By Dichloro-N-Substituted Azaadamantane Isomers, Harry Robbins

Theses

A series of anti, anti-dichloro-N-substituted azaadamantanes have been synthesized (Henkel et al, 1981, J. Org. Chem. , 46, 3483) representing conformationally rigid nitrogen mustards incorporated into an adamantyl framework with well defined stereochemistry and fixed separation distances between alkylating centers of 3.6 A (1) and 2.5 X (2,3) (Henkel et al, 1981, J. Org. Chem., 46, 3483) to be used as structurally rigid probes of DNA alkylation and intermolecular crosslink formation leading to cytotoxicity. The aqueous solution stability and the extent of intermolecular DNA crosslink formation for both the N-methyl and N-piperdinoethyl series of isomers have been measured using novel …

The Use Of Edge Gradient Analysis On Chrome And Emulsion Photomasks To Determine Modulation Transfer Functions, Marcy E. Levin Apr 1985

The Use Of Edge Gradient Analysis On Chrome And Emulsion Photomasks To Determine Modulation Transfer Functions, Marcy E. Levin

Theses

Using edge gradient analysis on chrome and emulsion photomasks to determine the modulation transfer function of a mask making system proved to be limited by the method in which the edge gradients were observed. Scanning electron micrographs were taken of the chrome and emulsion edges on various masks, and results showed that chrome photosmasks exhibit steeper gradients and better edge acuity than emulsion images. However, due to the ratio of line size to gradient size on each of the types of masks, it was decided that the gradient would not make a significant contribution to modulation loss in the image.

The Measurement Of Scatter And Absorption Using Three Spectrophotometric Techniques, Christopher Pearson Apr 1985

The Measurement Of Scatter And Absorption Using Three Spectrophotometric Techniques, Christopher Pearson

Theses

Three methods for scattering and absorption measurements were compared for correlation; Kubelka-Munk, 4pi and an in transmission compartment scattering measurement method. The results indicated highest correlation between the 4pi and Kubelka-Munk absorption measurements. The 4pi and Kubelka-Munk scattering measurements had the highest correlation for scattering, and almost no correlation was found between Kubelka-Munk and in transmission compartment scattering measurements.


The Effect Of Cross-Coupling On The Temporal Response Of Ultrasonic Transducer Arrays, David Hadley Apr 1985

The Effect Of Cross-Coupling On The Temporal Response Of Ultrasonic Transducer Arrays, David Hadley

Theses

An investigation was performed examining a possible cause of acoustic cross-coupling in ultrasonic transducer arrays. It was postulated that pulse velocity was decreased due to the physical presence of other ultrasonic pulses in the medium. It was demonstrated that average pulse velocity is independent of the number of opposing waves traveling through an acoustic medium. A description of variable pulse velocity is discussed.

Spectrophotometric Color Formulation Based On Two-Constant Kubelka-Munk Theory, Eric Walowit Apr 1985

Spectrophotometric Color Formulation Based On Two-Constant Kubelka-Munk Theory, Eric Walowit

Theses

A new approach to computer color formulation based on non-linear least-squares techniques has been developed to characterize colorants and predict their behavior in mixtures. This approach allows the optimization of absorption and scattering calculations to characterize these colorants. This same method has been used to directly match the spectral reflectance of a standard with a mixture of colorants that yields nearly the same spectral reflectance as the standard being matched. Several advantages have been gained over more traditional methods: Kubelka-Munk K and S has been determined without primary binary blends, the spectral reflectance of the standard and proposed formulation exhibit …


A Method For Comparison Of Anti-Reflection Coatings For Photoresist Via A Simple Computer Algorithm, Neil Levine Apr 1985

A Method For Comparison Of Anti-Reflection Coatings For Photoresist Via A Simple Computer Algorithm, Neil Levine

Theses

A method was achieved to allow a quantitative and rapid comparison of different anti-reflection coatings (ARC) used under the photoresist layer in semiconductor-device fabrication. The computer algorithm utilizes the spectral irradiance of the source, reflectance of the substrate, absorption of the photoresist and ARC, and the spectral sensitivity of the photoresist to provide a quantitative value of the total system response to reflectance. The algorithm was tested by correlating the resultant value with photoresist resolution on aluminum, polysilicon, and 2nd-oxide process layers, and found to be linear with an R-squared value of 0.99S5 within the region investigated. Subsequent statistical analysis …

The Determination Of Paper Spread Functions And Their Fourier Transforms From Kubelka-Munk Absorption And Scattering Measurements, Brian Pridham Apr 1985

The Determination Of Paper Spread Functions And Their Fourier Transforms From Kubelka-Munk Absorption And Scattering Measurements, Brian Pridham

Theses

In the study of imaging on paper, the effect of the penetration of light into the paper is usually neglected. Measurements show that light does not emerge from the paper sample at the same spot where it entered. The manner in which the light spreads through the paper is described by the spread function of the paper. It was suspected that an estimation of the paper spread function and its Fourier transform could be made based on the Kubelka-Munk absorption (K) and scattering (S) coefficients of the paper using a general diffusion model. The results show that an estimate of …

In-Line Process Monitoring Of Spray Developed Diazoquinone Photoresist, Kenneth Sautter Apr 1985

In-Line Process Monitoring Of Spray Developed Diazoquinone Photoresist, Kenneth Sautter

Theses

As the minimum feature size of IC devices is reduced, the control of linewidth becomes moire and more critical. An in-line process monitor for spray developed diazoquinone-type photoresist has been constructed which enables a spin-developing module to automatically compensate for the numerous variables which can affect linewidths. The development time of a wafer is varied depending on the dissolution rate of the photoresist. Development is monitored by reflecting light from the wafer surface which is sensed by a photodiode. Variable development time has been shown to control linewidths as exposure dose and photoresist coating thickness were changed. The relationship between …
