Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Characterization of Al Bond Pad Surface Treatment in Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) DepositionM.K. Md Arshad, A. Jalar, I. Ahmad, G. OmarThis study reports a number of experiments that were designed to characterize aluminum bond pad surfaces prior to electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG). In the ENIG process, aluminum bond pads need special treatment to achieve successful nickel deposition and provide reliable interconnection of under bump metallurgy in advanced packaging. During this treatment process, the aluminum pad was cleaned, activated and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,722 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Transcript Labeling Techniques and Development of a Membrane-based Parallel Gene Expression AssayMark A. Fisher, Bonnie B. Plikaytis, Thomas M. ShinnickAn inexpensive alternative to micro arrays was developed to examine the expression of small sets of genes in parallel and used to compare direct and indirect transcript labeling methods. Psoralen-biotin direct labeling was ~10-fold less sensitive than reverse transcriptase-biotin-dUTP labeling, but the enzymatic method generated higher levels of background noise in miniarray hybridizations. The reproducibility of hybridization intensities was the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,868 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUnderwater Fused Image Classification Using Deep Learning Based Resnet and Hybrid PSO + HHO ModelDevika Sarath, M. SucharithaIn image fusion, multiple images are combined into one with minimal distortion and data loss. Image fusion forms a highly configured image with good results. The image fusion technique is employed in various domains, including remote sensing, robotics, medical applications, and underwater image processing. The focus of this study is on a unique underwater image fusion approach that allows for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 24 Mar 2023 · 5,844 accessesView PDF Cite
