    摘要： Disclosed is a capacitive electrostatic MEMS RF switch comprised of a lower electrode that acts as both a transmission line and as an actuation electrode. Also, there is an array of one or more fixed beams above the lower electrode that is connected to ground. The lower electrode transmits the RF signal when the top beam or beams are up and when the upper beams are actuated and bent down, the transmission line is shunted to ground ending the RF transmission. A high dielectric constant material is used in the capacitive portion of the switch to achieve a high capacitance per unit area thus reducing the required chip area and enhancing the insertion loss characteristics in the non-actuated state. A gap between beam and lower electrode of less than 1 &mgr;m is incorporated in order to minimize the electrostatic potential (pull-in voltage) required to actuate the switch.

    摘要： A means for fabrication of solenoidal inductors integrated in a semiconductor chip is provided. The solenoidal coil is partially embedded in a deep well etched into the chip substrate. The non-embedded part of the coil is fabricated as part of the BEOL metallization layers. This allows for a large cross-sectional area of the solenoid turns, thus reducing the turn-to-turn capacitive coupling. Because the solenoidal coils of this invention have a large diameter cross-section, the coil can be made with a large inductance value and yet occupy a small area of the chip. The fabrication process includes etching of a deep cavity in the substrate after all the FEOL steps are completed; lining said cavity with a dielectric followed by fabrication of the part of the coil that will be embedded by deposition of a conductive material metal through a mask; deposition of dielectric and planarization of same by CMP. After planarization the fabrication of the remaining part of the solenoidal coil is fabricated as part of the metallization in the BEOL (i.e. as line/vias of the BEOL). To further increase the cross section of the solenoidal coil part of it may be built by electrodeposition through a mask on top of the BEOL layers.

    摘要： An X-ray mask pellicle is capable of protecting the X-ray mask from contaminants and the wafer from contact with the X-ray absorber material of the mask. The X-ray mask pellicle is sufficiently thin to allow X-ray exposure at the required mask to wafer gaps yet is sufficiently durable, replaceable, tough and X-ray resistant to be used in X-ray lithography. A thin (organic or inorganic) X-ray mask pellicle to be placed covering the X-ray mask pattern area is fabricated as a thin film and attached to a support ring. A selected area of the pellicle film, tailored to cover the absorber pattern in the X-ray mask, is etched to decrease its thickness to below 2 .mu.m. If the thin film of the pellicle is not itself conductive, a thin conductive film may be coated on both sides. In an alternative embodiment, the separation between the pellicle and the X-ray mask can be achieved by forming the mask with a stepped profile.

    摘要： A plating rate monitor includes a Wheatstone bridge, one branch of which is a monitoring resistor formed on a printed circuit board located in the same environment as an object being plated. The resistor undergoes plating at the same rate as the object. Each time the bridge becomes balanced, another resistor branch of the bridge, which is variable, is incremented by a preselected value to upset the balance. As the monitoring resistor in the plating environment undergoes plating, a change in its resistance causes the bridge to become balanced once again and the time interval for achieving this balance, for a calculated plating thickness change of the monitoring resistor, determines the plating rate.
