Ohmic contacts to p-type silicon having resistivity of the order of 5 ~-cm and orientation were fabricated by an electroless Ni-B process. It has been found that boron content in the deposit varies from 5-27% using sodium borohydride as the reducing agent. The contact resistance decreases as the boron content in the deposit increases with heat~treatment.

T his paper considers the architectural writings of John Ruskin (1891Ruskin ( -1900. an important architecture, art and social critic in Victorian England and interprets his preoccupation with surface ornament. The paper reveals that, for Ruskin. architecture was a living entity. His idea of life was influenced by Thomas Carlyle's philosophy of clothes, according to which the human soul was more important than the body and it could be expressed only through clothing. Ruskin translated this notion into an architectural theory. He believed that the soul of architecture was contained in the veneer of decoration that concealed the exterior walls. In addition, he argued that the composition of the decorative veneer exhibited qualities of dresses and textiles. This article terms this as Ruskin's theory of the adorned "wall veil." It argues that this was the motivation for his interest in the architectural surface. The article counters the claim that Ruskin's writings were unarchitectural or, in other words, unconcerned with space, structure and function. It argues that the theory of the adorned wall veil attempted to shift the ontological identity of architecture. It also contributed to the nineteenth century debates on architectural ornament and dress.
