Other uses Substrate disambiguation Substrate The substrate of a vivarium refers to the material used on the floor of the enclosure. It can affect humidity levels, filtration as well as the well being of the inhabitants. The appropriate substrate depends on the type of animal in the enclosure. Functions and Considerations Substrate is used in all types of vivarium and holds an important role in the well being of the inhabitants. Although having an aesthetic factor, the substrate is an extremely important factor when keeping animals in a vivarium. Some types of substrate can be used to hold humidity, this is essential when keeping certain types of rainforest dwelling species that require high humidity levels during shedding and food digestion. The substrate may also be used as a drainage system for excess water. Substrate is also useful for burrowing species as they can dig into the substrate as they would in their natural habitat. It is also useful for egg laying species that would naturally bury their eggs in the earth floor.

In an integrated circuit , a signal can couple from one node to another via the substrate. This phenomenon is referred to as substrate coupling or substrate noise coupling . The push for reduced cost, more compact circuit boards, and added customer features has provided incentives for the inclusion of Analogue electronics analog functions on primarily digital MOS integrated circuit s ICs forming Mixed signal integrated circuit mixed signal IC s. In these systems, the speed of digital circuits is constantly increasing, chips are becoming more densely packed, interconnect layers are added, and analog resolution is increased. In addition, recent increase in wireless applications and its growing market are introducing a new set of aggressive design goals for realizing mixed signal systems. Here, the designer integrates radio frequency RF analog and base band digital circuitry on a single chip.

Unreferenced date May 2010 Substrate is a solid substance usually a plane geometry planar one onto which a layer of another substance is applied, and to which that second substance adheres. In solid state electronics , this term refers to a thin slice of material such as silicon , silicon dioxide , aluminum oxide , sapphire , germanium , gallium arsenide GaAs , an alloy of silicon and germanium, or indium phosphide InP are used. These serve as the foundation upon which electronic devices such as transistor s, diode s, and especially integrated circuits ICs , are deposited. Note that a substrate in the field of electronics is either a semiconductor or an insulator electrical electrical insulator , depending on the fabrication process that is being used. In the cases in which an insulator such as silicon oxide or aluminum oxide is used as the substrate, what happens next is the following. On top of the oxide, a thin layer of semiconducting material, usually pure silicon. Next, using the standard photographic processes repeatedly, transistors and diodes are fabricated in the semiconductor. The advantages of this more costly fabrication process is that the oxide layer can provide superior insulation between adjacent transistors. This process is especially used for electronics which must withstand ionizing radiation , such as in space exploration missions through the Van Allen Radiation Belt s in military and naval systems which might have to withstand ionizing radiation nuclear radiation and in instrumentation for nuclear reactor s. In the manufacture of ICs, the substrate material is usually formed into or cut out as thin discs called wafer electronics wafer s, into which the individual electronic device s transistors, etc. are etched, deposited, or otherwise fabricated.

Substrate mapping , also known as wafer mapping is a process in which the performance of semiconductor device fabrication semiconductor devices on a substrate is represented by a map showing the performance as a colour coded grid. The map is a convenient representation of the variation in performance across the substrate, since the distribution of those variations may be a clue as to their cause. The concept also includes the package of data generated by modern wafer testing equipment which can be transmitted to equipment used for subsequent back end manufacturing operations. History Image wafermap.jpg thumb A wafer map different bins are represented by different colours Image stripmap.jpg thumb A strip map this strip map represents five panels on one strip. The lowerleft square around the die on each panel represents a reference die, which is used to align between wafer testing and die attachment The initial process supported by substrate maps was inkless binning. Each tested die is assigned a bin value, depending on the result of the test. For example, a pass die is assigned a bin value of 1 for a good bin, bin 10 for an open circuit, and bin 11 for a short circuit. In the very early days of wafer test, the dies were put in different bins or buckets, depending on the test results. Physical binning may no longer be used, but the analogy is still good. The next step in the process was to mark the failing dies with ink, so that during assembly only uninked dies were used for die attachment and final assembly. The inking step may be skipped if the assembly equipment is able to access the information in the maps generated by the test equipment. Where the substrate map applies to an entire Wafer 28electronics 29 wafer , the term wafer map would be used, substrate map is a more general term, applied to mapping in other areas of the semiconductors process frames, trays and strips ....

Substrate channeling is when the intermediary metabolic product of one enzyme is passed directly to another enzyme or active site without being released into solution.

Print devices without this capability can only print on a single side of paper, sometimes called simplex printing . Consumer and low to medium volume office printers use a duplexing unit that reverses a piece of paper after the first side has been printed. Often, on MFPs, this is combined with a Automatic Document Feeder reversing automatic document feeder RADF to allow for duplex scanning also. Higher volume printers may in essence have two print engines in a single device, and are able to print both sides of the paper in a single pass. Duplex print devices, depending on options, software, and printer settings, can print single sided page to single sided page 1 1 or double sided page to double sided page 2 2 .
