We introduce oriented non-radial basis function networks (ONRBF) as a generalization of Radial Basis Function networks (RBF)- wherein the Euclidean distance metric in the exponent of the Gaussian is replaced by a more general polynomial. This permits the definition of more general regions and in particular- hyper-ellipses with orientations. In the case of hyper-surface estimation this scheme requires a smaller number of hidden units and alleviates the "curse of dimensionality" associated kernel type approximators. In the case of an image, the hidden units correspond to features in the image and the parameters associated with each unit correspond to the rotation, scaling and translation properties of that particular "feature". In the context of the ONBF scheme, this means that an image can be represented by a small number of features. Since, transformation of an image by rotation, scaling and translation correspond to identical transformations of the individual features, the ONBF scheme can be used to considerable advantage for the purposes of image recognition and analysis.

The agglomeration of Co silicide films formed on Si substrates processed with different Co film thickness was investigated by TEM, XRD, and four-point-probe measurements. It was found that thermal grooving always accompanies the film formation, while islanding can occur during high temperature thermal stability testing, or during formation of very thin films at moderate temperatures. In addition to whole film agglomeration, partial agglomeration on the top of the film has been observed, which is prominent and important for thin films. A theoretical model of agglomeration for silicide films is presented, which shows that when the ratio of grain size to film thickness is smaller than a critical value, the film will not lose its continuity. Also, grain boundary migration was found to have a suppressing effect on thermal grooving. Both a small grain size and a low grain boundary energy are shown to be favorable for improving the thermal stability.

TiSi2 thin films were formed on crystalline and amorphous silicon substrates obtained by Ge+ and Ge++B+ implantation and optional subsequent annealing. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity analysis revealed that the silicide formed on amorphous Si has more tendency to have a C54 structure rather than the metastable C49 structure. Also, the grain size is smaller and the silicide/silicon interface is smoother for silicides formed on amorphous Si. Comparison between implanted and unimplanted, (100) and (111) Si substrates indicated that the origin of the differences can be attributed to the latent energy stored in amorphous silicon, which favors the silicide with fine grains and promotes the transformation to the C54 phase. Non-random distribution of planar defects in C49 grains has been observed by plan-view TEM. A proposal that these defects are transformation stress induced microtwins is presented.

A description is given of the optimization methodology applied by the PRECISE computer program for the synthesis of analog ASICs. The application of simulation and optimization technology allows engineers to determine easily and automatically the element values and geometries needed to reach desired or measured analog circuit performance. The integration of both technologies to determine the optimum design parameters necessary to reach circuit objectives specified by the designer is described. Optimization in AC, DC, and transient domains can occur simultaneously to account for the interdependencies of the circuit element value in those domains. In addition, the optimization process can take place in discrete and constrained design parameter space so that the technological limits are accounted for and the optimal drawn lengths and widths are manufacturable. The optimization approach can be a powerful tool for the design of analog ASICs.< >

Double Heterojunction Diodes are studied theoretically and experimentally and show improved capacitance ratios typically of the order of 7 over MESFET technology. A monolithic T-phase shifter has been built using this approach and good phase shift characteristics (Δø= 55 degrees, insertion loss = 2 dB, VSWR≤ 1.8) has been demonstrated experimentally at 6 GHz. The design sensitivity on material parameters is presented and the relative merits of the heterostructure approach for monolithic applications are discussed.
