Improved electrical performance of Erbium silicide Schottky diodes formed by pre-RTA amorphization of Si by Tang, L. J., Tan, Eu Jin, Pey, Kin Leong, Chi, Dong Zhi, Lee, Pooi See

“…Erbium silicide Schottky diodes formed on Si(001) substrate using rapid thermal annealing method show degraded Schottky-barrier height ϕ_Beff and ideality factor due to the presence of silicide-induced microstructural defects which are likely sources of trap states. A method to improve the ϕ_Beff and of the diodes utilizing in situ Ar plasma cleaning to induce a light amorphization of the Si(001) substrate is proposed. …”

A study on the impact of Panama Canal expansion on major stakeholders by Lee, Jin Yan

“…Meanwhile, USEC ports should first expand and improve the port infrastructure to accommodate and handle the mega vessels before considering further benefits that they can tap on from the canal expansion. On the other hand, Caribbean ports which envisioned establishing as transhipment hubs need to find ways to address its weak cargo base, as well as further expand and upgrade the port facilities in order to achieve the status. …”
