Abstract: Provided is a portable urea sensor which can be used under a flow condition by using a porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane coated with parylene-A, which is parylene functionalized with an amine by vacuum deposition. To produce a specific electrochemical sensor signal from urea, urease, which is an enzyme hydrolyzing urea, is immobilized to a parylene-A-coated PTFE membrane by chemical crosslinking using glutaraldehyde. The urea-immobilized membranes are assembled in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluid chamber, and a screen-printed carbon 3-electrode system is used. The success of the urease immobilization process is confirmed using scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The optimal concentration of urease to be immobilized to the parylene-A-coated PTFE membrane is determined to be 48 mg/mL, and the optimal number of the membranes in the PDMS chamber is determined to be 8.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to methods of depositing thin films and, more particularly, to depositing metal thin films. The methods herein provide a nucleation free conversion (NFC) approach which involves forming an amorphous silicon layer over the dielectric layer, and performing an NFC process which acts to convert the amorphous silicon layer into a thin metal film. In some embodiments, the NFC process is performed multiple times until the resulting thin metal film is continuous. A bulk metal is formed over the thin metal film.

Abstract: A test apparatus may include transceivers and a global de-skew circuit. In a training mode, the transceivers provide first timing information obtained by delaying a first data signal in the range of up to a preset unit interval based on a clock signal and receive second timing information corresponding to timing differences between a slowest transceiver and the remaining transceivers. In an operation mode, the transceivers provide compensation data to a plurality of DUTs (Devices Under Test) substantially simultaneously. The compensation data may be obtained by delaying a second data signal by multiples of the preset unit interval in response to the second timing information. In the training mode, the global de-skew circuit receives the first timing information, calculates, using the first timing information, the timing differences between the slowest transceiver and the remaining transceivers , and provides the second timing information corresponding to the timing differences to the transceivers.
