The fabrication process consisted of two steps. First, to align and attach a bundle of SWNTs between the source and drain, the alternating (AC) voltage was applied to the electrodes. When a bundle of SWNTs was connected between two electrodes, some of metallic nanotubes and semi-conducing nanotubes existed together. The second step is to burn the metallic SWNTS by applying the voltage between two electrodes. With increasing the voltage, more current flowed through the metallic SWNTs, thus, the metallic SWNTs burnt earlier than the semiconducting one. This technique enables to obtain only semi-conducting SWNTs connection in the transistor. Through the 1--V characteristic graph, the moment of metallic SWNTs burning and the characteristic of semi-conducing nanotubes were verified.展开更多

The procedure is difficult per se, especially when a side-viewing duodenoscope is used, and when the patient has altered anatomical features, such as colonic interposition. Currently, there is no consensus on the standard approach for therapeutic ERCP in patients with total esophagectomy and colonic interposition. We describe a novel treatment design that involves the use of a side-viewing duodenoscope to perform therapeutic ERCP in patients with total esophagectomy and colonic interposition. A gastroscope was initially introduced into the interposed colon and a radio-opaque standard guidewire was advanced to a distance beyond the papilla of Vater, before the gastroscope was withdrawn. A sideviewing duodenoscope was then introduced along the guidewire under fluoroscopic guidance. After cannulation into the papilla of Vater, endoscopic retrograde chol-angiography (ERC) revealed a filling defect (maximum diameter: 15 cm) at the distal portion of the common bile duct (CBD). This defect was determined to be a stone, which was successfully retrieved by a Dormia basket after complete sphincterotomy. With this treatment design, it is possible to perform therapeutic ERCP in patients with colonic interposition, thereby precluding the need for percutaneous drainage or surgery.展开更多

P+ implantation into SiGe virtual substrate induces a narrow defect region slightly below the SiGe/Si interface,which gives rise to strongly enhanced strain relaxation of SiGe virtual substrate. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) tests show that the degree of relaxation of SiGe layer is 96% while 85% before implantation. After annealed,the sample appeared free of Threading Dislocation densities (TDs) within the SiGe layer to the limit of Trans-mission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) test of strained Si channel surface shows that Root Mean Square (RMS) is 1.1nm. The Direct Current (DC) characters measured by HP 4155B indicate that the maximum saturated transconductance is twice bigger than that of bulk Si PMOSFET.展开更多
