LONG ACTING G-CSF PROTEINS FOR TREATING NEUTROPENIA

Not Available Military and more recently commercial electronic systems have greatly benefited from superior performance of Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE)grown devices for two-way paging, satellite communication, cellular communication, millimiter and microwave radar, defense electronic and infrared imaging (IR) applications. The challenge faced by the MBE industry has been to offer highly reliable cost-effective epiwafers to justify the insertion of MBE-based devices into commercial wireless communication and sensor applications over other GaAs and Si/SiC solutions as well as reduce production costs for DoD platforms. This proposal addresses a DoD and industry identified need for closed loop composition and thickness control for viable cost-effective production yield and reliability requirements. Foster-Miller will develop an in-situ real-time imaging flux monitor for MBE growth processes. The diagnostic sensor based on Doppler Resolved Laser Induced Fluorescence (DOPLIF) measurements extends the current art of in-situ monitoring by providing real-time position and velocity distribution of atomic species over the wafer growth substrate. Phase I will provide the proof-of-concept for the ability to obtain real-time deposition and composition information from 2-D fluorescence images. The Phase II will include the complete functionality of the DOPLIF monitor to the imaging monitor and validate performance on a commercial Gen-II MBE reactor.
