    摘要: A metal plus low dielectric constant (low-k) interconnect structure is provided for a semiconductor device wherein adjacent regions in a surface separated by a dielectric have dimensions in width and spacing in the sub 250 nanometer range, and in which reduced lateral leakage current between adjacent metal lines, and a lower effective dielectric constant than a conventional structure, is achieved by the positioning of a differentiating or mask member that is applied for the protection of the dielectric in subsequent processing operations, at a position about 2-5 nanometers below a, to be planarized, surface where there will be a lower electric field. The invention is particularly useful in the damascene type device structure in the art wherein adjacent conductors extend from a substrate through an interlevel dielectric material, connections are made in a trench, a diffusion barrier liner is provided in the interlevel dielectric material and masking is employed to protect the dielectric material between conductors during processing operations.

    摘要: A microwave applicator including a cylindrical elongated chamber used to process materials therein; a microwave power source capable of producing microwave power having an electric field; a waveguide connected to the chamber couples microwave power into the microwave chamber. The applicator provides microwave energy having a substantially uniform field distribution over a large area for processing materials such as a web or sheet-like product. The uniformity of the applicator is enhanced by the use of matching devices within the applicator to match the regions of the applicator with no load to regions where the load is present in a continuous manner.

    摘要: A control system for a blind microwave radiation tool a workpiece is described. The controlled system automatically tunes the cavity containing the workpiece. The control system automatically controls the temperature of the workpiece according to a predetermined temperature versus time schedule. Control system automatically determines when the workpiece has reached a particular predetermined physical condition. To achieve these results the control system automatically monitors applied power, reflected power or current temperature and automatically controls the microwave cavity volume and shape and launch structure including antennae location, cavity short location, cavity diameter, coupling loop position, etc. in order to maintain the cavity in resonance and to determine when to exit without operator intervention. Control system can run on a small computer or an embedded controller and is useful for automatically curing polyamic acid to polyimide to a predetermined percent cure, processing preimpregnated glass cloth in a continuous manner which can be used in circuit boards and drying and partial curing of web-like materials automatically without operator intervention.
