摘要:
A valve for a slurry outlet opening in an installation for chemical mechanical polishing, in particular of semiconductor wafers in DRAM production, includes an elastic diaphragm, which covers the slurry outlet opening and has at least one self-closing opening. It is possible for the opening to be moved into a feedthrough position for the slurry by flowing slurry and to be automatically moved into a blocking position for the slurry when the slurry is not flowing. A CMP installation having such a valve is also provided. This creates a simple way of preventing particle agglomerations in the region of the fluid outlet opening of a CMP installation.

A pressure vessel arrangement comprises an external pressure vessel and at least one insert basket in the pressure vessel for receiving a substance to be treated which is exposable to a pressure fluid which is feedable to the pressure vessel and the insert basket. There is provided a control device for the internal pressure prevailing in the insert basket, in particular in the form of a switchable pressure compensation line connecting the interior of the insert basket directly to the surroundings, i.e. not via the pressure vessel.

A solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide in water comprises a surfactant component and a hydrotropic component. A process for preparing a solution for developing an exposed photoresist comprises the steps: preparation of a solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide in water; addition of a surfactant component; and addition of a hydrotropic component.
摘要:
A scanning device for semiconductor wafers with which rapid and dependable scanning is permitted. The invention is characterized by a base plate with a guiding pin protruding from it for the manual guidance of a depositing plate which is displaceable on the latter. The depositing plate is intended to receive a semiconductor wafer and is provided on an underside with meandering guiding channels for guiding by the guiding pin. A liquid drop is kept on a surface of the semiconductor wafer by a scanning tube and collects metal and dopant traces from the semiconductor wafer. The liquid drop can then be analyzed for determining a purity of the surface of the semiconductor wafer.

One embodiment provides an integrated circuit including an electrical contact and a conductive bump elongated via centrifugal forces. The conductive bump has a base and a top. The base is attached to the electrical contact and the top remains unattached.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an exposure mask for structuring a photoresist layer on a substrate wafer, in which an inorganic adhesive is used as an adhesive device for connecting a reticle having a lithographic structure, a frame and a pellicle. For chemical reasons, an adhesive of this type has no tendency or a considerably lower tendency to gassing out than an organic adhesive used in conventional exposure masks, so that the risk of particles which are deposited on the lithographic structure and which can cause projection errors during an exposure process is largely ruled out. The invention relates further to a method of producing such an inorganic adhesive and also a method of producing an exposure mask with the aid of such an inorganic adhesive.
