摘要： Fixtures and methods for clamping workpieces in a workplace to enable the optimized exposure thereof to a stream or flow of a supercritical fluid. Provided is a rotatably indexable chuck or locator mounting the workpiece and enabling orientating the latter in specific static pitch position within a high pressure vessel in order to subject the workpiece to a full frontal exposure to the supercritical fluid stream within the vessel. This mounting arrangement facilitates an optimum positioning of the workpiece being processed in the flow path of the supercritical fluid stream while oriented in selectively indexed rotational positions.

摘要： A check valve for micro electro mechanical structure devices (MEMS), and in particular pertains to a check valve which is adapted to be employed in connection with micro electro mechanical structure devices which are intended to be employed with supercritical fluids constituting working fluids. In a preferred embodiment, the check valve is equipped with a bypass channel including a freely moveable plug structure which, in the open position of the valve enables the ingress of supercritical fluids under high superatmospheric pressures, and subsequent to the filling of the system, let down to atmospheric pressure, causes the plug to be moved into a permanent valve-closed position.

摘要： A process of depositing a thin film on a nanometer structure in which a coating, which may be an aerogel material or metallic seed layer, is prepared. The coating is combined with a supercritical composition to form a supercritical coating composition. The supercritical coating composition is deposited upon a nanometer structure under supercritical conditions. Supercritical conditions are removed whereby the supercritical composition is removed and the coating solidifies into a thin solid film.

摘要： A process of providing a semiconductor device with electrical interconnection capability wherein a sacrificial material is introduced into topographical features of the semiconductor device prior to chemical mechanical polishing so that debris formed during chemical mechanical polishing is incapable of falling into topographical features present on the semiconductor device. The sacrificial material is thereupon removed by liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide.

摘要： A composition which includes liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide and an acid having a pKa of less than about 4. The composition is employed in a process of removing residue from a precision surface, such as a semiconductor sample, in which the precision surface is contacted with the composition under thermodynamic conditions consistent with the retention of the liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide in the liquid or supercritical state.
