Semiconductors composed of group III and group V elements have a variety of promising applications, such as topological insulators and quantum computers. Among this category of semiconductors, bismuth (Bi)-containing III-V compounds are able to make these applications possible. However, the difficulty was found to alloy Bi atoms into the host lattice. To solve the problem of material fabrication,

For this reason, the study area was divided in a 300x300 meter square grid of points representing the location point

The ever-increasing need for higher performance and more complex functionality pushes the electronics industry to find a faster and more efficient way to test and debug an Integrated Circuit (IC). Currently, the IEEE Std. 1149.1, known as Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) is considered as state of the art by the industry. JTAG is used to perform debugging and testing through Test Access Port (TAP). H
