摘要:
A method of forming a refractory metal silicide pattern on a substrate by (1) forming a blanket layer of SiO.sub.2 on the substrate, (2) depositing a blanket layer of polycrystalline Si over the SiO.sub.2 layer, (3) defining a pattern in the blanket Si layer thereby exposing selected areas of the SiO.sub.2 layer, (4) depositing a blanket layer of refractory metal silicide on the substrate over the SiO.sub.2 and Si layers, (5) heating the substrate in an oxidizing environment to a temperature sufficient to oxidize the metal silicide layer over the Si to form an upper layer of SiO.sub.2 and to convert the metal silicide layer overlying the SiO.sub.2 layer to a metal rich SiO.sub.2 layer, andexposing the oxidized surface to an etchant that selectively etches away the metal rich SiO.sub.2 layer.

A cathode current control system employing a current thief for use in electroplating a wafer is set forth. The current thief comprises a plurality of conductive segments disposed to substantially surround a peripheral region of the wafer. A first plurality of resistance devices are used, each associated with a respective one of the plurality of conductive segments. The resistance devices are used to regulate current through the respective conductive finger during electroplating of the wafer. Various constructions are used for the current thief and further conductive elements, such as fingers, may also be employed in the system. As with the conductive segments, current through the fingers may also be individually controlled. In accordance with one embodiment of the overall system, selection of the resistance of each respective resistance devices is automatically controlled in accordance with predetermined programming.

摘要:
System, method and program determining a network path by which a workstation can send a message to a target network. The workstation accesses a first part of the network path via a network access server. A plurality of other servers by which the workstation can access a second part of the network path leading to the target network are identified. Respective response times to communicate between the workstation or the network access server and each of the other servers are measured. A determination is made which one of the other servers has a shortest response time. The workstation attempts to connect to the one server, before attempting to connect to other of the other servers, to access the second part of the network. The second part of the network can be a virtual private network, and the other servers are entry point servers for respective virtual private networks.

A magnetic induction device having at least one secondary induction assembly including a secondary winding is mounted on a rotary element. A magnetic flux is induced the secondary induction assembly, causing an induced secondary alternating current in the secondary winding of the secondary induction assembly. The secondary alternating current is converting to direct current and is stored in an electrical storage device.

A integral magnetic head and suspension and method for making the same. The integral head and suspension are fabricated completely on silicon (Si) wafers using semiconductor processes. A N+ silicon layer is disposed over a P- silicon wafer. The N+ silicon layer and the P-silicon wafer are thermally oxidized to generate a bottom silicon oxide layer opposite the N+ layer side of the wafer and a top silicon oxide layer on the N+ side of the wafer, and to drive the N+ silicon into the P- silicon wafer. A layer of polysilicon is disposed over the silicon oxide layer on top of the N+ silicon layer and is then patterned to define the head structure and suspension structure as one piece. Then, a magnetic head is disposed on the polysilicon. Finally, the magnetic head and suspension are separated from the wafer by removing the first silicon oxide layer by a chemical etchant and the P- silicon wafer by selective etching. The head and suspension are released from the silicon wafer as a single structure using the above-described semiconductor processes. Accordingly, no grinding or cutting is used to define the dimensions of the head. Further, no processes are required to attach the head to the suspension and the suspension can be made from low mass materials such as silicon (Si) or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.

摘要:
An apparatus for rotary cathode electroplating having a head assembly, a substrate/thief assembly having a thieving ring which includes a number of individually chargeable segments, and a secondary induction assembly including a secondary core and a secondary winding. A motor drives the substrate/thief assembly to rotate relative to the head assembly. A controller directs electrical charge to each of the individually chargeable segments of the thieving ring. An electrical storage device stores electrical energy which is to be supplied to the controller. A charging apparatus induces a magnetic flux which induces an alternating current in the secondary winding of the secondary induction assembly. A converter converts the induced alternating current to direct current, which is then stored on the electrical storage device.
