A technique using the sudden change in the geometrical shape of an Al line is introduced for the effective accumulation of atoms and therefore, the fabricati on of micro materials by electromigration. The effectiveness of the present technique is verified by th e formation of an Al microsphere from a predefined hole According to a finite element analysis of this electrical thermal problem, the physical mechanism governing the observed behavior can be attributed to a decrease in atomic flux along the electron flo w direction , resulting from a sudden change in geometry, in the small region surrounding the predefined hole.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
