摘要:
An aerosol cleaning apparatus for cleaning a substrate includes an aerosol producing means having a nozzle head. The nozzle head is positioned at a selected proximity and orientation to the substrate which is held by a rotatable holder. The aerosol spray dislodges particles from the substrate and the rotation of the substrate further assists in the removal of the loosened particles. A method of aerosol cleaning includes rotating a substrate at a preselected speed and spraying an aerosol jet in conjunction with the rotation to help in the removal of particles from the substrate.
摘要:
A method of coating or cladding existing metallurgical features of a dielectric substrate by sequentially blanket coating the substrate with two discrete levels of diverse metals having differential in melting point and forming a continuous series of alloy solid solutions whose solidus curve lies intermediate the melting points of the two component metals, with the metal having the lower melting point disposed adjacent said substrate, followed by heating of the substrate to a temperature slightly above melting point of the lower melting metal but not exceeding the liquidus temperature of a completely homogenized alloy corresponding to amounts of the metals deposited, with cooling of the substrate to delaminate the metal coatings on the bare surface areas of said substrate, and mechanically removing said delaminated metal coatings to retain a bonded cladding comprised of said metals on said metallurgical features.

A method is provided in which for fabricating a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A plurality of field effect transistors (FETs) are formed, each having a channel region disposed in a common device layer within a single-crystal semiconductor layer of an SOI substrate. A gate of the first FET overlies an upper surface of the common device layer, and a gate of the second FET underlies a lower surface of the common device layer remote from the upper surface. The first and second FETs share a common diffusion region disposed in the common device layer and are conductively interconnected by the common diffusion region. The common diffusion region is operable as at least one of a source region or a drain region of the first FET and is simultaneously operable as at least one of a source region or a drain region of the second FET.

A method and structure for fabricating an electronic device using an SOI technique that results in formation of a buried oxide layer. The method includes fabricating at least one first component of the electronic device and fabricating at least one second component of the electronic device, wherein the first component and the second component are on opposite sides of the buried oxide layer, thereby causing the buried oxide layer to perform a function within the electronic device.Entire circuits can be designed around this technique.
摘要:
A programmable antifuse element comprising adjacent bodies of germanium and aluminum or aluminum allow form a low resistance connection of good mechanical and thermal properties when heated to a temperature where alloying of the aluminum and germanium occurs. Heating for the purpose of programming the antifuse element can be done by electrical resistance heating in the-germanium, which may be doped to achieve a desired resistance value, or by laser irradiation. Due to the high resistance of intrinsic or lightly doped germanium, a resistance change ratio of greater than 10,000:1 is achieved.

An integrated circuit chip including a first and a higher second surface levels with an abrupt sidewall step transition therebetween, and having a first layer of a first conductive material disposed over the first surface level and over the second surface level, but terminating on the first surface level in a first end portion which extends up to but does not touch the sidewall. This end portion comprises a conductive material which has been converted to an insulator. A second layer of a second conductive material is disposed on top of the first conductive layer with essentially no conductive material conversion to insulator therein adjacent to the abrupt sidewall transition. In a preferred embodiment, the conductive material is an alloy of aluminum and the end portion is aluminum oxide.
