Washout and rainout are the removal processes associated with precipitation and are the most efficient atmospheric cleansing mechanisms. Rainout refers to the process of removal by precipitation from within the cloud while washout is the removal of pollutants from the air layer below clouds by falling precipitation. 5, record 2, English, - washout

The other form [of scavenging] is washout, the below-cloud capture of particulates and gaseous pollutants by falling raindrops. Large particles are most efficiently removed by washout. Small particles (especially those less than 1 m in diameter) more easily follow the airstream flowing around raindrops and generally avoid capture by raindrops except in heavy rain events. 6, record 2, English, - washout

Diffusion process systems are used in the manufacture of solid state devices for discrete as well as integrated circuit components. The end use of these products ranges from a single transistor in a portable radio to semiconductor memory used in computers. In the manufacture of typical integrated circuits, various elevated temperatures and gaseous atmospheres are required. Diffusion furnaces are operated at temperatures between 1000 to 1300 ° C. Thermal uniformity is critical in order to allow insertion of a large number of wafers into the furnace... Deposition systems, of which there are three(liquid, gaseous, solid), are used to deposit impurities on the silicon wafer. 4, record 3, English, - diffusion%20furnace
