Modeling the conformality of atomic layer deposition: the effect of sticking probability [PDF]
, 2009 The key advantage of atomic layer deposition (ALD) is undoubtedly the excellent step coverage, which allows for conformal deposition of thin films in high-aspect-ratio structures. In this paper, a model is proposed to predict the deposited film thickness

On Coverage Probability in Uplink NOMA With Instantaneous Signal Power-Based User Ranking [PDF]
IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, 2019 In uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks, the order of decoding at the base station (BS) depends on the received instantaneous signal powers (ISPs). Therefore, the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) coverage probability for an uplink NOMA
