For some reason the combination of 160K and my Mitutoyo 100x/0.90 objective means that as the last bits of ILD begin to etch away, substrate features become *less* visible.
I expected to see strong contrast at edges of substrate features when the ILD was etched away despite poly, STI trenches, and diffusion areas all being the same material (silicon).
But that's not what I'm seeing.
Going back to my archives, though, most of my good full die 100x shots are with the …

Scripps tells staff a Sinclair takeover is unlikely despite surprise stock purchase - Poynter
A memo to staff from CEO Adam Symson downplayed Sinclair’s intentions, even as Scripps shares surged nearly 40%

Dissipativity-Based Data-Driven Decentralized Control of Interconnected Systems
We propose data-driven decentralized control algorithms for stabilizing interconnected systems. We first derive a data-driven condition to synthesize a local controller that ensures the dissipativity of the local subsystems. Then, we propose data-driven decentralized stability conditions for the global system based on the dissipativity of each local system. Since both conditions take the form of linear matrix inequalities and are based on dissipativity theory, this yields a unified pipeline, re…

Dissipation in Open Holography
We exploit the holographic realization of a conformal theory coupled to an external bath realized via a double trace deformation and its gravity dual in terms of transparent boundary conditions in order to map out some basic dissipative properties of this simple open holographic system. In particular, we determine the energy transmission coefficient across the boundary, discover a novel duality relating weak and strong coupling to the external bath, and quantify the dissipation in the system by…

Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back.
The recall shows a few things:
-Reactionary politics is inherently unsustainable; the recall-loving, pro-car base that engardio relied on to win in '22 immediately turned on him the minute he did his only visionary act
-Initia…
