Abstract:
Both radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) ablation devices are clinically used for tumor ablation. Several studies report less dependence on vascular mediated cooling of MW compared to RF ablation. We created computer models of a cooled RF needle electrode, and a dipole MW antenna to determine differences in tissue heat transfer. We created Finite Element computer models of a RF electrode (Cooled needle, 17 gauge), and a MW antenna (Dipole, 13 gauge). We simulated RF ablation for 12 min with power controlled to keep maximum tissue temperature at 100 ºC, and MW ablation for 6 min with 75 W of

Abstract:
Multiple ablation technologies are used to treat atrial fibrillation during cardiac operations. All such ablation technologies use locally induced temperature extremes (>50°C or −20°C) to kill tissue and create a lesion pattern in the atria which blocks activation pathways that initiate and sustain atrial fibrillation. The technologies used to heat tissue have included radiofrequency (RF), microwave, high-intensity focused ultrasound, and infrared laser. RF accounts for more than 95% of the heating-based ablation technology used by cardiac surgeons. Energy delivery with RF is easier to cont

ABSTRACTTwo techniques for fabricating through-wafer via holes in 2-4 mil thick GaAs substrates were examined. In the first, Ni or thick photoresist masks were used for patterning 30 μm diameter vias by ECR-rf dry etching using low pressure (10-20 mTorr), low bias (– 150V) BCI3/C12 discharges. Microwave enhancement of these discharges produced faster etch rates but a greater degree of isotropic material removal at a given pressure. Reducing the process pressure produces extremely anisotropic features with high aspect ratio. The BC13-to-C12 ratio must be kept to ≥5:1 to maintain the anisotropy.
