    摘要: High aspect ratio metal microstructures may be prepared by a method involving (i) forming a layer of a photoresist on a substrate; (ii) exposing the layer to actinic radiation in an imagewise manner and developing the exposed layer to obtain a surface which contains regions having no remaining photoresist and regions covered with photoresist; (iii) metallizing the surface to form a layer of metal on the region of the surface having no remaining photoresist and on the sides of the regions of photoresist remaining on the surface; and (iv) optionally, stripping the photoresist remaining on the surface. Such microstructures are useful as electron emitters, anisotropic high dielectric interconnects, masks for x-ray photolithography, carriers for the controlled release of active agents, and ultramicroelectrode arrays.

    摘要: Sidewalls in a pattern of a refractory metal on a substrate are passivated during plasma etching by introducing water vapor into the etching chamber. This process obtains nearly vertical sidewalls. In one exemplified embodiment, a pattern of tungsten on a chromium etch step layer was reactive ion etched. In that embodiment, the reactive ion etching was intermittently paused. After each pause, the workpiece was warmed from below about 20.degree. C. to about room temperature. Then, water vapor was introduced into the etching chamber housing the workpiece. After the water vapor was introduced, the workpiece was cooled to below about 20.degree. C. and reactive ion etching was resumed. Alternatively, water vapor can be introduced into the etching chamber continuously during plasma etching.

    摘要: Disclosed are two modifications of the Tank-Hopfield circuit, each of which enables the deconvolution of a signal in the presence of noise. In each embodiment, the Tank-Hopfield circuit is modified so that the equation for total circuit energy reduces to one term representing convolution and another information theoretic (or Shannon) entropy. Thus, in finding its global minimum energy state, each modified circuit inherently identifies an optimal estimate of a deconvoluted input signal without noise.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for bonding a layer of coating material onto a subate with minimal bulk heating of the substrate. A pulsed electron beam generator is used to produce high energy electrons at the beginning of the pulse and a larger number of lower energy electrons at the end of the pulse. A thin sacrificial or ablative layer of an easily-vaporized material such as tin is placed on top the coating. The high energy electrons penetrate through the ablative and coating layers. The ablative layer is heated to a molten state, causing it to vaporize. The ablation process generates a force on the coating layer which drives it into the substrate.

    摘要: A fiducial beam monitor includes a patterned diode layer on a semiconducting substrate. An electrical field between the diode (or diodes) on the diode layer and the semiconducting substrate modulates the size of the depletion layer formed by the diode or diode. A high energy beam incident upon a diode on the diode layer produces a greater current than a high energy beam incident upon a non-diodic region of the same layer. In use, the beam monitor is typically fixed to the backside of a workpiece such as a semitransparent membrane being patterned by a focused high energy beam that is translated with respect to workpiece and attached monitor. The changes in current during translation are then correlated with the position of the beam with respect to the pattern on the diode layer.

    摘要: Improvement in resolution in terms of minimum feature sizes and proximity fects in an electronic mask is attained by making the mask using a high voltage electron beam which deflects or blocks backscattered electrons. The novel mask structure comprises a transparent support, an absorber layer disposed on said support, a dielectric layer disposed on said absorber layer, and a resist layer disposed on said dielectric layer. It is the dielectric layer which is credited for improving resolution in said mask which can be used a multiple number of times in printing a pattern for various applications, including electronic devices and integrated circuits.
