TEM/CBED determination of strain in silicon-based submicrometric electronic devices

The convergent beam electron diffraction technique (CBED) of the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been employed to determine the strain distribution along a cutline parallel to the padoxide/Si interface in a 0.80 micron wide recessed-LOCOS structure. The values of the components of the strain tensor so obtained have been compared with those computed by two simulator codes. It has been found that both the LOCOS morphology and the strain distribution deduced from TEM images and TEM/CBED patterns, respectively, were in agreement with the simulation results, if some oxidation-related parameters were modified.

Dynamical simulation of LACBED patterns in cross-sectioned heterostructures

The Large Angle Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (LACBED) technique has been applied to determination of the tetragonal mismatch in coherent Si/Si1-xGex/Si heterostructures. Two-dimensional (2D) dynamical simulation of the LACBED patterns has been performed and compared with the corresponding experimental ones. A good agreement is found in the whole simulated area, particularly as regards the splitting of the Bragg contours, due to the strain field present in the TEM cross-sections.

[Use of semisynthetic human insulin in juvenile insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].

A study was conducted on 28 paediatric patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), followed up for 2 years from onset of the disease. In this group, 14 were treated with semisynthetic human insulin, 14 with monocomponent porcine insulin. No statistically significant difference was found between the clinical and metabolic parameters examined in the two groups.

[Wolfram's syndrome. Presentation of a case].

The association of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and progressive optic atrophy, occasionally associated with other disorders, is known as Wolfram syndrome. Here is reported the case history of a 14 years old girl who presented IDDM, progressive optic atrophy, hearing loss, disturbed colour vision, hemeralopia and retarded sexual maturation.
