Electrical characterization of bias temperature instability in MOSFETs with the ultrathin SiON and la-doped HfSiO gate dielectrics by Du, Guoan.

“…The relatively deep level E'γ4 configurations are responsible for slow interfacial trapped charges. The bipolar nature of interfacial trapped charges can be explained physically with E'γ4 configurations, which has three phases, hole traps, neutral dipole, and electron traps.…”

Study of degradation mechanisms in SiON gate dielectric film subjected to negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) stress by Kang, Chun Wei.

“…And, we have shown that stress-induced leakage current shares the same defect origin with the switching hole trap related to NBTI. Gate leakage current remains the same before and after nominal NBTI condition when no transformation of E’ center occurs although interface traps has been significantly generated. …”

Development of human enterovirus 71 nano calcium phosphate adjuvanted candidate vaccine for parenteral and mucosal delivery by Saeed Ahmed, Mohamed Ibrahim

“…The alginate formulations had no effect on the IgA levels, it seems the vaccine epitopes were trapped in the alginate composite. The effect of joint dual immunization parenteral and mucosal routes (nano-CaP-HEV71 killed-virus (ID) and vaccine encapsulated in chitosan through the buccal delivery) to the same animals induced enhanced both types of systemic and mucosal antibody responses, as displayed in serum IgG and salivary IgA antibody levels towards the vaccine. …”
