Diffusion and gettering mechanisms of W and Fe in 300 mm silicon substrates

Metallic contamination is a major reliability issue in CMOS image sensor processing, where recombination-active impurities can increase dark current and pixel defects. In this work, the behavior of tungsten and iron is studied in several 300 mm silicon-based stacks under the same...

Behavioral changes preceded by subthalamic nucleus activity alterations in a progressive macaque model of Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is diagnosed after motor symptoms appear, although non-motor symptoms emerge years earlier. Following years of pharmacological treatment, high-frequency stimulation (HFS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a key hub in goal-directed behaviors, can...
