A polishing method for single crystal dielectrics such as sapphire and magnesium spinel is disclosed. A single crystal wafer of sapphire or magnesium spinel is immersed in a mixture of sulphuric and phosphoric acid in a range of mixtures of 9 parts sulphuric acid to 1 part phosphoric acid to 1 part sulphuric acid to 9 parts phosphoric acid by volume while the mixture is held at a temperature in the range of 200.degree.-325.degree.C. The rate of polishing as well as the quality of polishing of the wafers of sapphire or magnesium spinel is orientation sensitive and polishing is achieved for magnesium spinel having the orientations (100) and (110). Polishing is achieved for sapphire having the orientations (0001), (1123), (1100), (1124), (1120) and (0112). A wafer to be polished is suspended in the heated solution and may be rotated slowly. Nonpreferential material removal rates of fractions of a micron per minute are obtained. Crystals of both sapphire and spinel having the above-mentioned orientations may be polished in a preferred temperature range of 250.degree.-300.degree.C. The preferred polishing mixture for sapphire is 1 part sulphuric acid to 1 part phosphoric acid by volume at a temperature of 285.degree.C. For magnesium spinel, the preferred mixture is 3 parts sulphuric acid to 1 part phosphoric acid at a temperature of 250.degree.C. The polishing technique of the present invention provides planar, polished surfaces which are free of insoluble residues on the polished surface.

A glass composition comprises a low glass transition temperature glass and a higher glass transition temperature glass, which glasses are uniquely capable of forming together a continuous vitreous phase over their entire compositional range. During thermal cycling, the low glass transition temperature glass flows out and solubilizes the higher glass transition temperature glass to thereby synthesize in situ a new glass. The low glass transition temperature glass is composed of 14.1% SiO.sub.2, 72.8% PbO, 12.5% B.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0.2% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0.1% CaO, 0.2% Na.sub.2 O, and 0.1% MgO, and the higher glass transition temperature glass is composed of 71.11% SiO.sub.2, 2.38% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 7.13% CaO, 14.45% Na.sub.2 O, 3.76% MgO, 0.30% of K.sub.2 O, 0.13% B.sub.2 O.sub.3, and 0.74% PbO.

摘要:
A novel process for the selective deposition of solid-phase materials is disclosed, which process requires only the modulation of a single auxiliary gas within a suitable reactor assembly. According to the disclosed method, selective area deposition can be obtained on any desired microelectronic substrate by the creation of a vapor-phase chemical equilibrium system capable of deposition and etching the material to be deposited. The vapor-phase system is designed around a single reversible reaction wherein the material to be deposited equilibrates between that solid phase and its vapor-phase constituent species. By modulating an auxiliary gas flow into the reactor assembly, alternating deposition and etching processes can be obtained to yield an overall process which results in net overall selective and uniform deposition.

A method and resulting structure is disclosed in which a metal-to-metal bond is formed by heating the surfaces to be bonded in an oxidizing ambient atmosphere until the desired bond is achieved. Heating takes place at 700.degree. C.-1200.degree. C. and bonding may be enhanced by applying pressure between the surfaces while heating.

A heat dissipating system for cooling circuit chips or modules is described. The disclosed system includes circuit chips or modules which are vertically mounted, a gas at an elevated pressure being contained within an encased module for providing an enhanced thermal coupling between the chips or modules contained therein, and the walls of the encased module, whereby heat removal from the chips or modules is increased. This enhanced thermal coupling is combined with a reduction in the temperature of the walls of the encased modules so as to reduce the thermal resistance between the surrounding gas and the chips or modules to be cooled, whereby heat removal from the circuit chips or modules is substantially increased.

There are provided quaternary etchants comprising ethylenediamine, pyrocatechol, water and a diazine as catalyst for the etching of polycrystalline or single crystal silicon over a wide temperature and etch rate range. The etchants provide residue free dissolution, and have etch rates which are essentially unchanged when exposed to oxygen. The etch rate of the etchants can be modulated by the change in concentrations of water and/or pyrocatechol.There is also provided a method for etching polycrystalline or single crystal silicon using the etchants of this invention.

A method of making a microsurgical cutter from a flat planar substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface comprises the steps of (a) forming a photoresist mask layer on the top surface in the pattern of the microsurgical instrument, the mask layer having an edge portion formed in a predetermined pattern therein; and then (b) etching isotropically the top surface of the substrate through the top surface to the bottom surface so that the top surface and bottom surface meet at a cutting edge portion, with the cutting edge portion having a configuration corresponding to the edge portion of the mask layer. The substrates may be formed from semiconductor materials such as silicon, silicon carbide, sapphire and diamond.
