    摘要: The multistage process for the chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) of Cu commences with forming a primary aqueous or non-aqueous (e.g., using alcohols and ketones as non-aqueous carriers) slurry from (i) between about 0 and 7 wt-% of an oxidizer, (ii) between 0 and 7 wt-% of a chelating agent, (iii) between about 0 and 5 wt-% of a surfactant, (iv) between about 0.001 and 5 wt-% diamond particles having an average particle size not substantially above about 0.4 &mgr;, and (v) an amount of a pH adjustment agent so that the aqueous slurry has a pH of between about 3 and 10, and advantageously about 5). The Cu of the semiconductor wafer then is subjected to CMP using the primary aqueous slurry and then is subjected to a cleaning operation. Next, a secondary aqueous slurry from (i) between about 0 and 5 wt-% of an a hydroxyl amine compound, (ii) between about 0 and 7 wt-% of a chelating agent, (iii) between about 0 and 5 wt-% of a surfactant, (iv) between about 0.001 and 5 wt-% diamond particles having an average particle size not substantially above about 0.4 &mgr;, and (v) an amount of a pH adjustment agent so that the aqueous slurry has a pH of between about 4 and 10, and advantageously about 8.5 pH. The semiconductor wafer then is subjected to CMP using said secondary aqueous slurry. Thereafter, the semiconductor wafer again is subjected to a cleaning operation.

    摘要: A lens and encapsulant made of an amorphous fluoropolymer for a light-emitting diode (LED) or diode laser, such as an ultraviolet (UV) LED (UVLED). A semiconductor diode die (114) is formed by growing a diode (110) on a substrate layer (115) such as sapphire. The diode die (114) is flipped so that it emits light (160, 365) through the face (150) of the layer (115). An amorphous fluoropolymer encapsulant encapsulates the emitting face of the diode die (114), and may be shaped as a lens to form an integral encapsulant/lens. Or, a lens (230, 340) of amorphous fluoropolymer may be joined to the encapsulant (220). Additional joined or separate lenses (350) may also be used. The encapsulant/lens is transmissive to UV light as well as infrared light. Encapsulating methods are also provided.

    摘要: Apparatus for compressing tissue to be scanned for medical imaging is provided. The apparatus may comprise a compression membrane and a tensioning apparatus coupled to the membrane to apply a tensile force to the membrane to place the membrane in a taut condition during an imaging process. In one exemplary application that combines ultrasound scanning with X-ray mammography, the compressing apparatus enables accurate, reproducible ultrasound images reducing distortion and attenuation, which may otherwise be introduced as a consequence of such a combination of imaging processes.
