One of the key challenges in rapid thermal processing is accurate measurement and control of the wafer temperature. Monitoring the ambient with a thermocouple is not feasible, in that the high temperature ramp rates prevent the wafer from coming to thermal equilibrium with the process chamber.
The premium tax credit is a government subsidy to help make health insurance premiums more affordable for middle and low-income people. The subsidy is only available to people with modified adjusted gross incomes from 100 to 400 percent of federal poverty level.
For example, your 2014 âhousehold incomeâ (defined here) is what will determine the size of the credit for which you are eligible in 2014. What is unique about the premium tax credit, however, is that it can be claimed in advance. The applications for coverage ask for an estimate of your annual income, and if your estimate is such that it would make you eligible for a credit, you can take that credit in advance in the form of lower monthly premiums.
