Patent EP-1000958-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHIKINAMI YASUO
IPC: A61L31/00
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: Shape-memory biodegradable and absorbable materials which
make it possible to easily treat vital tissues by suture,
anastomosis, ligation, fixation, reconstitution, prosthesis,
etc. without causing burn. These materials never induce halation
in MRI or CT and never remain  in vivo . Such a shape-memory
biodegradable and absorbable material is a material made of a
molded article of lactic acid-based polymer and can be recovered
to the original shape without applying any external force thereto
but heating to a definite temperature or above. It is obtained
by deforming a molded article (a primary molded article) made of
a lactic acid-based polymer and having a definite shape into
another molded article (a secondary molded article) having
another shape at a temperature higher than the glass transition
temperature thereof but lower than the crystallization
temperature thereof (or 100°C when the molded article has no
crystallization temperature) and then fixing said molded article
to the thus deformed shape by cooling it as such to a temperature
lower than the glass transition temperature. When this material
is heated to the above-mentioned deformation temperature or
above, it is immediately recovered to the original shape. The
lactic acid-based polymer is hydrolyzed and absorbed  in vivo .

Title: Gravure de motifs sur le cuivre par bombardement physique ameliore pour elements microniques et submicroniques
Inventor: YE YAN
IPC: H01L21/3065
Filed: 1998-06-09
Abstract: Il est possible de graver des motifs sur du cuivre à une vitesse acceptable et avec sélectivité par rapport aux matériaux adjacents grâce à un procédé de gravure uniquement physique dénommé 'bombardement physique amélioré'. Ce procédé nécessite une augmentation de la concentration ionique et/ou de l'énergie ionique des espèces ionisées qui frappent la surface du substrat. Afin de favoriser l'extraction des atomes de cuivre excités de la surface à graver, on peut amener une énergie pulsée à la source génératrice d'ions et/ou à la source de polarisation de décalage appliquée au substrat. Si les ions bombardés proviennent d'une source éloignée, cette alimentation peut aussi être pulsée. Il est possible d'utiliser la thermophorèse en maintenant le substrat à une température supérieure à la température de la surface de la chambre de gravure. Il est également possible de combiner l'utilisation d'une espèce chimique réactive au bombardement ionique physique sans provoquer de problèmes de corrosion du cuivre, tant que la concentration du composant ion chimiquement réactif est suffisamment faible pour que la gravure se fasse selon un régime dominé par le bombardement physique.
