Received: 2 August 2020; Accepted: 20 August 2020; Published: 24 August 2020 Abstract: A search of the recent literature reveals that there is a continuous growth of scientific publications on the development of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes for silicon carbide (SiC) films and their promising applications in micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) devices. In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to deposit high-quality SiC films on large areas enabling the low-cost fabrication methods of MEMS/NEMS sensors. The relatively high temperatures involved in CVD SiC growth are a drawback and studies have been made to develop low-temperature CVD processes. In this respect, atomic layer deposition (ALD), a modified CVD process promising for nanotechnology fabrication techniques, has attracted attention due to the deposition of thin films at low temperatures and additional benefits, such as excellent uniformity, conformability, good reproducibility, large area, and batch capability. This review article focuses on the recent advances in the strategies for the CVD of SiC films, with a special emphasis on low-temperature processes, as well as ALD. In addition, we summarize the applications of CVD SiC films in MEMS/NEMS devices and prospects for advancement of the CVD SiC technology.

  • Fumigation for Rabbit Control
    Fumigation for rabbit control Introduction: Fumigation is a valuable tool in successful rabbit management programs. It is an effective follow-up technique to poison baiting and warren ripping, and is a particularly useful control method in areas where other techniques cannot be used (eg poison baiting). Fumigation works by replacing the air in warrens with Figure 1: Phostoxin tablets and dry paper are pushed deep lethal gasses, which are in-turn inhaled by rabbits, into the warren entrance. Image: Invasive Animals CRC causing them to suffocate and die. There are two types of fumigation: Fumigants Chloropicrin: Chloropicrin is a colourless, toxic liquid • pressure fumigation - where the fumigant is generated that is currently used in Australia as an insecticide, soil outside the warren and forced into the warren under and warren fumigant, and rodenticide. Chloropicrin pressure, usually from a pump is classified as a dangerous poison (Schedule 7) as • diffusion (or static) fumigation – where tablets are placed it has a high potential to cause harm, even at low in active burrows (Figure 1) and the fumigant generated exposures.

  • Studies on Isotope Separation of Lithium by Electromigration in Fused Lithium Bromide and Potassium Bromide Mixture, (II) Composition of Salt in Anode Compartment
    Journal of NUCLEARSCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY,7 (10), p. 522~526 (October 1970). Studies on Isotope Separation of Lithium by Electromigration in Fused Lithium Bromide and Potassium Bromide Mixture, (II) Composition of Salt in Anode Compartment Yoshinobu YAMAMURA* and Shin SUZUKI* Received May 13, 1970 Accurate knowledge on the salt composition in the anode compartment is indispensable when 6Li is to be highly enriched by electromigration in fused LiBr-KBr mixture. A study was made on the dependence on temperature shown by the salt composition in the anode com- partment. It was observed that sustained electromigration led to a salt composition in the anode compartment that was determined by the prevailing temperature. The composition was observed for various temperatures between 380- and 740-C: In terms of the ratio Li/K in chemical equivalent, the values were 1.31 at 380-C, 1.29 at 420-C, 1.31 at 460-C, 1.41 at 500-C, 1.76 at 540-C, 1.82 at 580-C, 1.95 at 620-C, 2.16 at 680-C and 2.34 at 740-C. These results can be explained by assuming that the fused LiBr-KBr mixture is a system composed of two simple salts and their eutectic, and that at temperatures below 550-C, which is the melting point of LiBr, LiBr and KBr are dissolved in fused eutectic, while KBr is dissolved in the fused eutectic and LiBr at temperatures between 550- and 738-C, which latter is the melting point of KBr.
