摘要:
The disclosure pertains to compositions and methods for modifying or refining the surface of a wafer suited for semiconductor fabrication. The compositions include working liquids useful in modifying a surface of a wafer suited for fabrication of a semiconductor device. In some embodiments, the working liquids are aqueous solutions of initial components substantially free of loose abrasive particles, the components including water, a surfactant, and a pH buffer exhibiting at least one pKa greater than 7. In certain embodiments, the pH buffer includes a basic pH adjusting agent and an acidic complexing agent, and the working liquid exhibits a pH from about 7 to about 12. In further embodiments, the disclosure provides a fixed abrasive article comprising a surfactant suitable for modifying the surface of a wafer, and a method of making the fixed abrasive article. Additional embodiments describe methods that may be used to modify a wafer surface.
摘要:
This invention pertains to a method of modifying or refining a surface of a wafer suited for semiconductor fabrication. This method may be used to modify a wafer having an unmodified, exposed surface comprised of a layer of a second material deployed over at least one discrete feature of a first material attached to the wafer. A first step of this method comprises contacting and relatively moving the exposed surface of the wafer with respect to an abrasive article, wherein the abrasive article comprises an exposed surface of a plurality of three-dimensional abrasive composites comprising a plurality of abrasive particles fixed and dispersed in a binder and maintaining contact to effect removal of the second material. In a second step, the contact and relative motion are continued until an exposed surface of the wafer has at least one area of exposed first material and at least one area of exposed second material.

摘要:
The preparation, structure, and properties of solid inorganic materials containing cobalt, boron, oxygen and, optionally, aluminum, is described. Also described is the use of such materials in catalytic compositions for the conversion of organic compounds. In particular, the new material Co(BO.sub.2)OH is described as well as the use of such material in various catalyzed processes including oxidation of organic compound processes. A particularly useful process is a heterogeneous catalyzed partial oxidation of an alkylaromatic followed by complete oxidation to an aromatic polycarboxlic acid in a water phase.
摘要:
A composition for encapsulation and controlled release comprises a water-insoluble matrix comprising a host molecule that is non-covalently crosslinked by multi-valent cations, that is non-polymeric, that has more than one carboxy functional group, that has at least partial aromatic or heteroaromatic character, and that comprises at least one pterin or 5-substituted pterin moiety. The composition can further comprise a guest molecule (for example, a drug) that can be encapsulated within the matrix and subsequently released.
摘要:
Electrolytic solutions containing organic additive(s) selected from a described class of additives (e.g., 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine) reduce overall applied electrical potential of electrolytic cells and/or reduce gas formation at the anode(s) or increase copper production rate. Benefits include reducing overall power consumption and reducing acid mist during electrolytic processes.
