The morphologies and defect structures of TiCr2 in several Ti-Cr alloys have been examined by optical metallography, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in order to explore the room-temperature deformability of the Laves phase TiCr2. The morphology of the Laves phase was found to be dependent upon alloy composition and an...
The steady-state creep deformation behavior of a cast two phase gamma TiAl alloy having the composition Ti---48Al---1Nb (at.%) has been studied. Tension creep tests using the stress increment technique (θθ2θ3) were conducted over the temperature range of 704–850°C at constant initial applied stress level of 103.4–241.3 MPa. The activation energy fo...
This paper discusses and shows applications of optical emission spectroscopy techniques and methods to monitor plasma emissions during semiconductor processing. A brief discussion of the instrumentation that was used and the software to control the instrumentation is presented. Optical emission spectroscopy techniques discussed include chemical spe...
A method and apparatus to control the plasma environment in a semiconductor or thin-film fabrication chamber. The apparatus and method include a means for measuring an optical emission spectrum of the chemical species in the plasma and a library containing a multiplicity of predefined spectral patterns. A processor automatically correlates the spec...
