This invention provides a semiconductor device with reduced capacitance between adjacent conductors. A porous dielectric layer 28 is formed on conductors 24. A non-porous dielectric layer 30 is formed on porous layer 28, and a second porous dielectric layer 36 is formed on non-porous layer 30. The porous dielectric layers comprise open-pored networks, preferably formed by an atmospheric pressure aerogel process. The present invention allows the construction of semiconductor devices employing multiple layers of conductors with porous low dielectric constant insulation.

A linerless label and method of production thereof are provided which result in a fully utilizable thermal transfer linerless label. A substrate of label material has first and second faces each having first and second substantially parallel first and second edges, and a coating of thermal transfer material substantially completely covers the first face. First and second adhesive release material patterns, such as strips of UV curable silicone, are disposed substantially along the first and second edges of the first face, and first and second adhesive patterns, such as strips of a permanent hot melt adhesive, are disposed substantially along the first and second edges of the second face in alignment with the silicone strips, the patterns covering less than fifty percent of the label faces. The width of the adhesive strips are less than the silicone strips. Ink registration marks may be imaged on the first face for registration of adhesive release material application, or for registration of perforation lines which may be provided perpendicular to the strips of adhesive and adhesive release material. The labels may be produced from a web more than one label wide, and slit along the adhesive and adhesive release material strips into label webs one label wide. The web may be taken up on a roll.
摘要:
A technique to synthesize complex oxide ceramic powders which offers advantages of both the coprecipitation and sol-gel routes while doing away with the disadvantages is disclosed. Namely, the ability to achieve chemical homogeneity and crystallite size on the namometer length scale at a nonprohibitive cost is provided by the disclosed method. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for the synthesis of a mixed metal oxide powder is provided including (a) combining a liquid absorbent resin with at least one solution selected from the group consisting of solutions containing at least one organo-metallic compound and solutions containing at least one metallic salt compound, such that at least two metals are present in the liquid absorbent resin after the combining is completed; (b) after the combining, allowing the liquid absorbent resin to swell and gel and thereby form a swollen gel; (c) preparing a precursor material by changing at least one of the pH and temperature of the swollen gel; (d) pyrolyzing the precursor material to form a pyrolyzed precursor material; and (e) calcining the pyrolyzed precursor material to form a mixed metal oxide powder.

Embodiments of methods, systems and apparatus for analysis and capture of network data items are described herein. Some embodiments include a receiving module which may receive a network data item from a network and which may then duplicate the network data item into two network data items. A capture module may receive one of the network data items for storage in storage device. A statistics or analysis module may in parallel receive the other network data item and may then perform network analysis on that network data item. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for the rapid cooling of a container and its contents, such as a beverage container. A heat transfer fluid is thermally contacted with the beverage container, where the heat transfer fluid has a temperature of less than 0° C. The heat transfer fluid can be physically separated from the container, such as by flowing the heat transfer fluid through a heat exchanger that surrounds the container. The cooling parameters can be controlled such that the container and its contents are rapidly cooled without freezing of the contents.

A temperature-controlled container utilizing a sorption cooling unit to maintain the temperature within the container. The sorption cooling unit cools the interior of the container and rejects waste heat to the exterior. The sorption cooling unit provides a lightweight and low volume alternative to the traditional gel pack cooling systems that are commonly used in the modern shipping industry for shipping containers.

The present invention is an insulating composite comprising (a) a first thermally reflective layer having a reflective surface and an opposite surface, (b) a second thermally reflective layer having a reflective surface and an opposite surface, and (c) a porous metal oxide film having a thickness of 20 &mgr;m or less that is positioned between the first and second thermally reflective layers such that there is substantially no direct physical contact (thermal bridging) between the first and second thermally reflective layers. The present invention further includes an insulating element in which the insulating composite is disposed within an air-impermeable container.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of treating silica, wherein dry silica is contacted with a reaction medium consisting essentially of concentrated aqueous acid and a hydrophobing agent selected from the group consisting of organosiloxanes and organochlorosilanes. The silica is then reacted with the hydrophobing agent in the reaction medium for about 90 minutes or less at a temperature from about 10° C. to about 40° C. to provide a hydrophobic treated silica. The hydrophobic treated silica then is recovered.

The present invention discloses an adsorbent comprising a densified carbon black. The densified carbon black comprising the adsorbent preferably has an increase in density of from about 100% to about 500% above the undensified form of the adsorbent. The densified carbon black adsorbent has an increase in adsorption capacity per unit volume over the undensified form of the adsorbent in excess of 100%. The densified carbon blacks are particularly useful as adsorbents for gases.
摘要:
A method for forming air gaps 22 between metal leads 16 of a semiconductor device. A metal layer is deposited on a substrate 12. The metal layer is etched to form metal leads 16, exposing portions of the substrate 12. A disposable liquid 18 is deposited on the metal leads 16 and the exposed portions of substrate 12, and a top portion of the disposable liquid 18 is removed to lower the disposable liquid 18 to at least the tops of the leads 16. A porous silica precursor film 20 is deposited on the disposable liquid 18 and over the tops of the leads 16. The porous silica precursor film 20 is gelled to form a low-porosity silica film 24. The disposable liquid 18 is removed through the low-porosity silica film 24 to form air gaps 22 between metal leads 16 beneath the low-porosity silica film 24. The air gaps 22 have a low dielectric constant and result in reduced capacitance between the metal leads and decreased power consumption.
