Low-κ dielectricIn semiconductor manufacturing, a low-κ is a material with a small relative dielectric constant (κ, kappa) relative to silicon dioxide. Low-κ dielectric material implementation is one of several strategies used to allow continued scaling of microelectronic devices, colloquially referred to as extending Moore's law. In digital circuits, insulating dielectrics separate the conducting parts (wire interconnects and transistors) from one another.
ParameterA parameter (), generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc. Parameter has more specific meanings within various disciplines, including mathematics, computer programming, engineering, statistics, logic, linguistics, and electronic musical composition.
Acoustique musicaleL'acoustique musicale est le domaine de l'acoustique consacré à l'étude des sons musicaux et leur mode de production par les instruments de musique et la voix. Née du souci de relier la tradition musicale, principalement de la musique savante, à l'esprit scientifique, l'acoustique musicale fut l'un des premiers champs d'investigation de l'acoustique.
