摘要:
Embodiments of the invention include a transformer device having a saturation region for limiting ingress noise and other noise. The transformer comprises a magnetic core, an input coil and an output coil arranged so that the output signal caused by the magnetic linkage between the input and output coils through the magnetic core is based on the magnitude of the input signal. According to an embodiment of the invention, the magnetic core includes a saturation region that limits the output signal regardless of the magnitude of the input signal once the saturation region reaches its saturation magnetization state. The saturation region comprises a reduced saturation magnetization level caused by a geometrically constricted region of the magnetic core or, alternatively, by a modified, magnetic-equivalent region having properties similar to a geometrically constricted region.

The invention is embodied in a soft magnetic thin film article comprising an iron-chromium-nitrogen (Fe--Cr--N) based alloy and methods for making such article. The soft magnetic thin film article is formed using an iron-chromium-nitrogen based alloy with tantalum in one embodiment and with at least one of the elements titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), vanadium (V), molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb) or tungsten (W) in another embodiment. The article is formed such that the alloy has a relatively high saturation magnetization (e.g., greater than approximately 15 kG) and a relatively low coercivity (e.g., less than approximately 2.0 oersteds) in an as-deposited condition or, alternatively, with a very low temperature treatment (e.g., below approximately 150.degree. C). The inventive films are suitable for use in electromagnetic devices, for example, in microtransformer cores, inductor cores and in magnetic read-write heads.

The invention is embodied in an anisotropic, soft magnetic thin film article comprising a cobalt-iron-chromium-nitrogen (Co--Fe--Cr--N) alloy. The thin film is formed such that the alloy has a relatively high saturation magnetization (4.pi.M.sub.s), e.g., greater than approximately 8 kilogauss (kG), a relatively low coercivity (H.sub.c), e.g., less than approximately 2.0 oersteds (Oe), a relatively high squareness ratio (M.sub.r /M.sub.s), e.g., greater than approximately 0.90, and a relatively high anisotropy field (H.sub.k), e.g., greater than approximately 20 Oe, in an as-deposited condition or, alternatively, with a relatively low temperature treatment, e.g., below approximately 300.degree. Celsius. The inventive films are suitable for use in electromagnetic devices, e.g., in microtransformer cores, inductor cores and in magnetic read-write heads.

A circuit device is disclosed comprising at least two circuit layers or circuit devices vertically interconnected with a plurality of parallel and substantially equi-length nanowires disposed therebetween. The nanowires may comprise composites, e.g., having a heterojunction present along the length thereof, to provide for a variety of device applications. Also disclosed is a method for making the circuit device comprising growing a plurality of nanowires on a dissolvable or removable substrate, equalizing the length of the nanowires (e.g., so that each one of the plurality of nanowires is substantially equal in length), transferring and bonding exposed ends of the plurality of nanowires to a first circuit layer; and removing the dissolvable substrate. The nanowires attached to the first circuit layer then can be further bonded to a second circuit layer to provide the vertically interconnected circuit device.

The emission properties of aligned nanotube arrays are improved by truncating the ends of the nanotubes. Truncation provides nanotubes having a height within, for example, 30% of the average truncated nanotube height, as well as ends substantially free of end caps. The cap-free ends provide desirable field concentration, and the height uniformity increases the number of participating nanotubes.

In accordance with the invention, a field emission device is made by disposing emitter material on an insulating substrate, applying masking particles to the emitter material, applying an insulating film and a gate conductor film over the masking particles and emitter material and removing the particles to reveal a random distribution of apertures to the emitter material. The result is a novel and economical field emission device having numerous randomly distributed emission apertures which can be used to make low cost flat panel displays.

In accordance with the invention, a field emission device is provided with an improved pillar structure comprising multi-layer pillars. The pillars have a geometric structure that traps most secondary electrons and an exposed surface that reduces the number of secondary electrons. Processing and assembly methods permit low-cost manufacturing of high breakdown-voltage devices, including flat panel displays.
摘要:
The method of shaping a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) body (exemplarily a wafer of CVD-PCD) utilizes our discovery that the rate and amount of diamond removal from a given region of a PCD body depends, for a given metal "etchant" at a given temperature, on the thickness of the etchant layer overlying the given region, with relatively larger etchant thickness being associated with relatively higher removal rate and amount. Exemplarily, the method can be used to substantially remove thickness variations and/or film curvature from as-produced PCD films. An exemplary metal that can be used in the practice of the invention is mischmetal. The metal etchant can be molten, partially molten or solid.
