Noise from any major source, be it major roads, railways, airports or industrial activities in agglomerations, needs to be included in the noise mapping. For road and rail, improved methods will be developed in the 5th framework Harmonise project. These methods will be adopted to develop methods for aircraft and industrial noise in the IMAGINE project proposed here. Noise source databases to be developed in IMAGINE for road and rail sources will allow a quick and easy implementation of the methods in all member states. Measured noise levels can add to the quality of noise maps because they tend to have better credibility than computed levels. In the project proposed here, guidelines for monitoring and measuring noise levels will be developed, that can contribute to a combined product (measurement and computation) that has high quality and high credibility. Noise action plans shall be based on strategic noise maps. The IMAGINE project will develop guidelines for noise mapping that will make it easy and straightforward to assess the efficiency of such action plans. Traffic flow management will be a key element of such action plans, both on a national and a regional level. Noise mapping will be developed into a dynamic process rather than a static presentation of the situation. IMAGINE will provide the link between Harmonise and the practical process of producing noise maps and action plans. It will establish a platform where experts and end users can exchange their experience and views. This platform should continue after the project and provide a basis for exploitation to the IMAGINE results.

NPS will have a wide range of impacts on many aspects of society, in particular on environment, which need to be understood by decision-makers, together with how these impacts affect the likelihood of market take-up. UTOPIA will draw on experiences and previous studies in Europe and the rest of the world, to assess the introductory methods that have been used. The project will analyse how these can best be applied to the specific situations that occur in Europe and provide tools to understand what the effects of this might be. Ongoing demonstration projects such as ZEUS and CENTAUR will be used as case studies and test sites. This will allow the tools and methods developed in UTOPIA to be tested and honed during the project. The project will: - analyse the methods and results of new propulsion system demonstration projects around the world; - develop guidelines on the best ways of introducing such systems based on the findings of this analysis; - develop software to help decision-makers in both comparative testing of different sites where new systems are being introduced, and in finding appropriate technological solutions for specific urban situations. % - State-of-the-art reviews, inventories and databases of new propulsion systems and market-oriented transport concepts based on these systems, recommendations on policy guidelines for fostering the Europe-wide introduction of new systems. - A best practi Source : cordis   Atomic scale properties affecting yield and reliability ASPYR 1996 - 1998 Subjects : Innovation, Technology Transfer, Industrial Manufacture, Information Processing, Information Systems, Electronics, Microelectronics Contract type : Cost-sharing contracts Participants : Inter University Microelectronics Center BELGIQUE-BELGIË Inter University Microelectronics Center Research Kapeldreef 75 3001 BELGIQUE-BELGIË Advanced Semiconductor Materials Europe NEDERLAND Advanced Semiconductor Materials Europe Industry Rembrandstlaan 7-9 3723 NEDERLAND Wacker Siltronic DEUTSCHLAND Wacker Siltronic Industry Johannes-Hess Str. 24 84489 DEUTSCHLAND Wacker Siltronic Germany Wacker Siltronic Industry Johannes-Hess Str. 24 Germany Advanced Semiconductor Materials Europe Netherlands Advanced Semiconductor Materials Europe Industry Rembrandstlaan 7-9 Netherlands Aea Technology United Kingdom Aea Technology Industry Harwell Laboratory B552 OX11 0RA United Kingdom Hide objective The prime objective of this programme is the improvement in reliability and yield of ultra thin oxide layers used for ULSI CMOS gate and bipolar emitter materials. This objective is in accord with the requirements identified in the Semiconductor Industry Association's road map for the achievement of 0.1 µm transistors. To achieve this prime objective we will improve wafer starting material, ex-situ and in-situ wafer cleaning procedures, and cluster tool dielectric fabrication procedures. We will also improve our understanding of the effect of interface roughness on yield, reliability and tunnel current transport in MOS structures. In support of these objectives we will establish new atomic scale diagnostic techniques of dielectric quality based on scanning probe microscopy methods. The overall result of this programme will be improvements in ultra thin dielectric yield, performance and reliability when the dielectric is used in CMOS technology. The approach taken to achieve the prime objective of the programme is the standard process research and development route of establishing correlations of process and materials parameters with the electrical performance of ultra thin dielectric test structures. Although this is a standard approach, the use of ultra clean processing, cluster tool, and atomic scale diagnostics methods gives the programme a cutting-edge technical approach. Such an approach will be needed to achieve the very demanding SIA road map requirements for reduction of dielectric defect density, thickness uniformity, and reproducibility control. Hide achievements The achievement of the programme objectives will have an impact on the ability to fabricate reliable, ultra thin, ULSI CMOS gate and bipolar emitter structures with high yield. This has been identified by the SIA road map as essential if device dimension of 0.1 µm are to be achieved.As the results of the programme are transferred to advanced production environments the impact of the work will be the strengthening of European IC industry competitiveness. In addition results of the programme will improve the quality of wafers, cluster tools and associated processing regimes. New atomic scale measurement equipment may also be developed from the results of this programme. All of these advances will have an impact on maintaining the competitive edge of the consortiums industrial partners in the world marketplace. The industrial partners to this programme (a major wafer manufacturer and a major process equipment manufacturer) will transfer results of this work to their product base. Since both these industrial partners are major suppliers on a world-wide scale this will be a significant exploitation of the results of this programme. The take up of results of the programme will logically flow to the European semiconductor industry via improved products and processes. Clearly a breakthrough to defect densities in line with the SIA road map targets would have a major impact on CMOS scaling and hence provide significant exploitation opportunities for the European semiconductor industry. Technology transfer is a core activity of the two research organisation partners of the consortium and hence clear exploitation channels are available. Where information dissemination does not prejudice exploitation by the industrial partners information will be presented in the open literature to give maximum exploitation opportunities.
