Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention consists of a system of small, interconnected cubes, each containing interior walls made from a highly sensitive multi-layer piezoelectric material and each having heavy mass, such as stainless steel, inside the cube interior. An elastic material layer covers the heavy internal mass that is in contact with the piezoelectric cube walls. As the system moves with the water, the heavy mass inside each cube exerts varying inertial forces on the cube walls causing a piezoelectric current to be generated. However, the cell walls may also be constructed using commercially available piezoelectric materials. This approach is a second embodiment of the current invention and includes the same system design as the first embodiment except that the internal cubic cell walls are fabricated in a unique manner using commercially available piezoelectric materials, rather than the non-central symmetric LB poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) multilayer piezoelectric material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the deposition of in particular, crystalline layers on one or several, in particular, equally crystalline substrates, comprising a process chamber, arranged in a reactor housing, which may be charged with the substrates from above, by a reactor housing opening which may be sealed by a cover. The reactor housing opening opens out into a glove box, in particular flushed with highly pure gas and connects electricity, liquid or gas supply lines to the cover. According to the invention, the connection of supply lines for electricity, fluid or gas sources arranged outside the glove box to the cover of the reactor housing arranged within the glove box may be improved, whereby the electricity, fluid or gas supply lines run freely, from outside the glove box, through a flexible tube which is sealed atone end to a flange arrangement rigidly fixed to the cover and sealed at the other end to an opening in the glove box wall.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device aimed at improving reliability of wiring, more particularly, of a via hole when a silicon oxide film formed by a high density plasma CVD process is used as an inter-level dielectric film in an integrated circuit having a multi-level wiring structure. When the multi-level wiring structure is formed on a semiconductor substrate, after underlying wiring is formed, a silicon oxide film is formed on the entire surface of the substrate by a high density plasma CVD process, and heat treated in inert gas or oxygen atmosphere at a temperature of 300.degree. C. or more but 500.degree. C. or less for 10 minutes or more. Excess hygrogen incorporated in the silicon oxide during the CVD process is removed by the above heat treatment. Subsequently, via holes are opened, and upper wiring is formed.
Abstract:
A method for forming a copper interconnect on an integrated circuit (IC) begins by forming a dielectric layer (20) having an opening. A tantalum-based barrier layer (21), such as TaN or TaSiN, is formed within the opening in the layer (20). A copper layer (22) is formed over the barrier layer (21). A first CMP process is used to polish the copper (22) to expose portions of the barrier (21). A second CMP process which is different from the first CMP process is then used to polish exposed portions of the layer (21) faster than the dielectric layer (20) or the copper layer (22). After this two-step CMP process, a copper interconnect having a tantalum-based barrier is formed across the integrated circuit substrate (12).

A semiconductor device appropriate for increased integrity in which occurrence of electrical short-circuit between a conductor for connecting a bit line and a semiconductor substrate and a gate electrode is obtained. In this semiconductor device, a first insulation layer, a second insulation layer, and a third insulation layer are formed between a first interconnection layer on the semiconductor substrate and a second interconnection layer. The etching rates of the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer are lower than the etching rate of the third insulation layer.

Abstract:
A light-emitting diode (LED) is bonded to a pair of metal leads which are attached to a metal lead frame with a plurality of lead pairs, such that its optical axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the leads. The device so formed is encapsulated in two colors of plastic, a clear portion over the diode to transmit light from the diode and a dark portion behind the diode to improve the diode on-off contrast and make a hermetic seal with the leads. After encapsulation individual devices are separated from each other by cutting the leads from the lead frame.
