Wei, X. (author), Wachters, A.J.H. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author)We present a three-dimensional model based on the finite-element method for solving the time harmonic Maxwell equation in optics. It applies to isotropic or anisotropic dielectrics and metals and to many configurations such as an isolated scatterer in a multilayer, bi-gratings, and crystals. We discuss the application of the model to near-field...journal article 2007

Wei, H. (author), Nazarov, Y.V. (author)We address continuous weak linear quantum measurement and argue that it is best understood in terms of statistics of the outcomes of the linear detectors measuring a quantum system, for example, a qubit. We mostly concentrate on a setup consisting of a qubit and three independent detectors that simultaneously monitor three noncommuting operator...journal article 2008

Verhaar, T.M. (author), Wei, J. (author), Sarro, P.M. (author)In this paper, a process to realize metal lines on the sidewall of high aspect ratio cavities is developed. As an alternative to conventional photoresist, SU8 is used to define patterns on vertical sidewalls of deep cavities while maintaining compatibility with conventional IC processes. When transferring a pattern onto a 3D structure,...journal article 2009

Wei, J. (author), Chen, Z.L. (author), Liu, Z.W. (author), Sarro, P.M. (author)This paper presents a silicon MEMS capacitive structure to investigate a test methodology for fF-level capacitive sensors’ measurement. The device mimics a capacitive sensor with a changing intermediate layer between the electrodes.

Van Zeijl, H.W. (author), Wei, J. (author), Shen, C. (author), Verhaar, T.M. (author), Maury, P. (author), Sarro, P.M. (author)Lithography for IC device fabrication is a high volume high accuracy production technology. Such production characteristics are also attractive for MEMS and 3 dimensional (3D) integration processes. However, advanced lithography has a strong 2 dimensional (2D) nature and is not optimized to fabricate 3D structures. In this work, 5 exposure and...journal article 2010

Van Zeijl, H.W. (author), Wei, J. (author), Shen, C. (author), Verhaar, T.M. (author), Sarro, P.M. (author)Lithography as developed for IC device fabrication is a high volume high accuracy patterning technology with strong 2 dimensional (2D) characteristics. This 2D nature makes it a challenge to integrate this technology in a 3 dimensional (3D) manufacturing environment. This article addresses the performance of a waferstepper (ASML PAS5000) in...journal article 2010

Wei, J. (author), Magnani, S. (author), Sarro, P.M. (author)This paper presents a submicron suspended piezoresistive silicon-beam structure as a basic sensing element to replace the conventional piezoresistors, so to improve the detection sensitivity. The alternative element benefits from the increase of the induced stress, which is locally concentrated on the suspended submicron beam. This approach...journal article 2011

Weijermars, R. (author), Taylor, P. (author), Bahn, O. (author), Das, S.R. (author), Wei, Y.M. (author)Organizational behavior and stakeholder processes continually influence energy strategy choices and decisions. Although theoretical optimizations can provide guidance for energy mix decisions from a pure physical systems engineering point of view, these solutions might not be optimal from a political or social perspective. Improving the...journal article 2011

Wei, W. (author), Fu, L. (author), Blacquiere, G. (author)A method for the efficient computation of multifrequency focal beams for 3D seismic acquisition geometry analysis has been developed. By computing them for all the frequency components of seismic data, single-frequency focal beams can be extended to multifrequency focal beams. However, this straightforward method involves considerable computer...journal article 2012

(author)In several optical systems, a specific Point Spread Function (PSF) needs to be generated. This can be achieved by shaping the complex field at the pupil. The Extended Nijboer-Zernike (ENZ) theory relates complex Zernike modes on the pupil directly to functions in the focal region. In this paper, we introduce a method to engineer a PSF using the...journal article 2014

(author)The Reynolds number scaling of flow topology in the eigenframe of the strain-rate tensor is investigated for wall-bounded flows, which is motivated by earlier works showing that such topologies appear to be qualitatively universal across turbulent flows. The databases used in the current study are from direct numerical simulations (DNS) of fully...journal article 2014

However, very few feasible practical structures exist at present. Here, we propose a CMOS-compatible hybrid plasmonic slot waveguide (HPSW) with enhanced field confinement. Our simulation results show that the HPSW...journal article 2016
