A pillar array is printed in positive photoresist using an optical mask (108) having an array of features (310) corresponding to the pillars. The pillars' width/length dimensions are below the exposure wavelength. Superior results can be achieved (less peeling off of the pillars and less overexposure at the center of each pillar) if the mask features (310) are downsized relative to the pillars' target sizes, and the exposure energy is reduced. Negative photoresist (with a dark field mask) can be used, and can provide good results (in terms of pillars peeling-off) if the combined area of the features (410) corresponding to the pillars is smaller than the area between the features (410).

A novel preset necktie comprises an outer tie, and inner tie, a zipper, a zipper slider of unique configuration, and a support body. The outer and the inner ties are both separate individual bodies with the upper portion of the inner tie being connected to form a loop and a zipper being disposed to the inner side of the lower portion thereof to form into the tie loop. With the inner tie having been threaded through the support body and the pull tab of the specially designed slider secured to the inner side of said slider, the size of the tie loop can be adjusted by pushing or pulling said support body. A pressing spring plate is provided on the inner side of the slider so as to keep the shape of the tie loop fixed. The upper portion of the outer tie is secured to the support body by means of a rivet and preset into a regular knot such that the user does not have to set the knot each time when wearing then necktie.

A microwave plasma generating device including a plasma chamber for generating plasma, a reaction chamber having a specimen stage on which a specimen is treated with the plasma, a gas supply for supplying gas to the plasma generating chamber, a microwave generator for generating a microwave electric field in the plasma and reaction chambers and a plurality of axially spaced apart and concentric electromagnet coils for generating a magnetic field in the plasma and reaction chambers. The microwave electric field and the magnetic field have perpendicularly crossing components and the magnetic field has a strength which decreases in the axial direction from the plasma chamber towards the reaction chamber with constant strength magnetic flux density lines lying in planes which are substantially parallel to each other and perpendicular to the axial direction. The magnetic field produces a flat ECR condition wherein the ECR layer extends perpendicularly to the axial direction over at least 50% of the width of the plasma chamber. In a method of using this device, upper and lower electromagnets produce magnetic fields such that the magnetic field produced by the lower electromagnet is weaker than that produced by the first electromagnet. For instance, the upper electromagnet can be supplied a higher amount of current than the lower electromagnet. Alternatively, the upper and lower electromagnets can be supplied the same amount of current but the lower electromagnet can be larger in diameter than the first electromagnet. This allows the ECR layer to be made thicker in the axial direction than an ECR layer produced by a conventional plasma generating device.

The present invention provides a seaman style preset necktie characterized mainly in that the portions of the necktie below the tie knot are bifurated into two branches, there are no inner and outer ties as those with conventional neckties, and that the tie knot is suspended before the wearer's chest instead of being tied adjacent to the neck opening. In the present invention, both ends of the necktie are provided with zippers on the same side and the tie knot is provided with a pair of zipper sliders which are disposed invertedly relative to each other, the upper slider causing the portions of the necktie body to be gathered while the lower one causing them to be separated again, such that the position of the tie knot can be adjusted by sliding the sliders. After proper adjustment, by means of the fastening means on the ends of the outer cover of the tie knot, it is only necessary to fold and press said outer cover of the tie knot to be securely set.

A gas dispersion window for a plasma etching or plasma deposition reactor including a housing having a chamber in which an article can be treated with plasma. The housing includes at least one inlet port connected to an interior of the chamber through which process gas can be supplied to the chamber. A radiofrequency energy source is arranged to pass radiofrequency energy into the chamber and induce plasma in the interior of the chamber by activating, with an electric field induced by the radiofrequency energy source, process gas supplied to the chamber through the inlet port. A dielectric window formed by spaced apart first and second dielectric members has an inner surface thereof forming part of an inner wall of the chamber. Radiofrequency energy passes from the radiofrequency energy source to the interior of the chamber through the dielectric window. The process gas is supplied to the gap between the first and second dielectric members and passes inwardly into the chamber through gas dispersion holes in the second member.

An electrostatic chuck system having an electrostatic chuck for securely holding a wafer on a surface of the electrostatic chuck. The electrostatic chuck system comprises a wafer bias sensor coupled to a first portion of the electrostatic chuck for sensing an alternating current signal at the first portion. The wafer bias sensor outputs, responsive to the alternating current signal, a direct current voltage level representative of a direct current bias level of the wafer. The electrostatic chuck system further comprises a variable electrostatic chuck power supply coupled to the wafer bias sensor. The variable electrostatic chuck power supply provides a first potential level to the first portion of the electrostatic chuck. The first potential level is modified, responsive to the direct current voltage level, to substantially maintain a first predefined potential difference between the first portion of the electrostatic chuck and a first region of the wafer overlaying the first portion irrespective of a magnitude of the direct current bias level of the wafer.
摘要:
A method of plasma treating an article in a housing having a chamber in which the article such as a wafer can be treated with plasma. The housing includes at least one inlet port connected to an interior of the chamber through which process gas can be supplied to the chamber. A radiofrequency energy source is arranged to pass radiofrequency energy into the chamber and induce plasma in the interior of the chamber by activating, with an electric field induced by the radiofrequency energy source, process gas supplied to the chamber through the inlet port. A dielectric window having an inner surface thereof forms part of an inner wall of the chamber. Radiofrequency energy passes from the radiofrequency energy source to the interior of the chamber through the dielectric window. The dielectric window has a thickness which varies at different points along the inner surface thereof such that the thickness is largest at a central portion of the dielectric window. The dielectric window is effective to decrease the induced electric field in the interior of the chamber near the central portion of the dielectric window.

By means of the presence of a pair of leaf springs (622) on the inner body, the position of the tie knot and the zipper slider can be adjusted freely and retained in the position set.
摘要:
An overlay measurement recipe is checked for reliability as follows. A first pair of overlay layers (130, 150) is formed (610), and the recipe is used to obtain alignment measurements for the two layers. Then another pair of overlay layers (130, 150) is obtained (630), possibly using the same masks, but this time at least one of the layers (150) is offset from its previous position. The overlay measurement recipe is used again to obtain alignment measurements (640). The two sets of measurements are checked against the offset of the layers from their previous positions to validate the recipe. Other embodiments are also provided.
