The relationship between the physical and pricing measure in credit markets KU Leuven
During the financial and sovereign crisis, governments protected the financial system from a collapse. The transfer of impaired assets to a bad bank, or a guarantee on these assets, is one of the state aid measures applied by governments to preserve financial stability. The transfer price or guaranteed value is crucial in the assessment of state aid. The real challenge is thus to determine the state-aid-compatible value of impaired assets, ...
Advance semiconductor wetting and drying: limitations, defect formation and solutions KU Leuven
Semiconductor device fabrication still follows the Moore’s law to increase the process yield by increasing the number of cleaning steps to minimize the number of surface defects. Process induced defect (PID) is a characterization term defined as the main failure mechanism toward efficient cleaning rinsing and drying process. Source of defects might be extrinsic, which represent all contaminations coming from water, ambient and the surface ...
Hierarchically Structured Porous Bodies from Capillary Suspensions KU Leuven
The combination of ceramic’s intrinsic properties such as chemical resistance, temperature stability, and mechanical properties, with the low density and high permeability of porous materials has been of interest in many industrial applications such as in biomedical, filtration, energy storage, heat exchange, gas adsorption, insulation, as lightweight construction materials or as catalyst monoliths or catalyst supports. The ceramics need to ...
