Title: Emulation of streaming over the internet in a broadcast application
Inventor: MALLART RAOUL
IPC: A63F13/338
Filed: 2000-03-29
Granted: 2002-03-21
Abstract: In a broadcast application on a client-server network the streaming is emulated of animation data over the Internet to a large number of clients. The animation is considered a sequence of states. State information is sent to the clients instead of the graphics data itself. The clients generate the animation data itself under control of the state information. The server and clients communicate using a shared object protocol. Thus, streaming is accomplished as well as a broadcast without running into severe network bandwidth problems.

Title: Exposure method, exposure apparatus and semiconductor device manufactured by using the exposure apparatus
Inventor: TOMIMATSU YOSHIKATSU
IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2000-04-11
Granted: 2002-03-01
Abstract: In an exposure method, using a first exposure apparatus including a reticle having an exposure pattern, a first pattern is formed on a resist film on a semiconductor substrate. Using a second exposure apparatus including a reticle having an exposure pattern identical with the aforementioned reticle, a second pattern is formed on the resist film having the first pattern. Based on error information between patterns obtained from the first and second patterns, non-linear error of the first exposure apparatus with respect to the non-linear error of the second exposure apparatus is calculated. Based on the information obtained by the correction data calculating step, the non-linear error of the second exposure apparatus is made equal to the non-linear error of the first exposure apparatus. By this step, it becomes possible to provide an exposure method, an exposure apparatus and a semiconductor device manufactured using the exposure apparatuses, even when a plurality of exposure apparatuses are used.

Inventor: IZUMI YOSHIHIRO
IPC: H01L29/49
Filed: 2000-05-12
Granted: 2002-11-01
Abstract: An oxide film 42 is formed on an insulating substrate 41 by means of a wet type film forming techniques such as a sol-gel method, a chemical deposition method or a liquid phase deposition method. Next, the oxide film 42 is patterned according to the shape of interconnections. Then, a metal film 43 made of Ni is formed on an oxide film pattern 42a by such a wet type film forming technique as a wet type plating method. Further, a metal film 44 made of Au that has a low resistance is laminated on the metal film 43 made of Ni by electroless plating, and a metal film 45 made of Cu that has a low resistance and is low cost is laminated on the Au film 44 by electroplating. Thus, by the above method for manufacturing electric interconnections, a large-area interconnection substrate for a display device and an image detector is able to be fabricated at low cost without using a vacuum film forming apparatus.

Filed: 2000-08-09
Granted: 2001-09-01
Abstract: This invention provides the re-crystallization method for polysilicon thin film of thin film transistor. On a substrate deposited with insulation layer, a layer of amorphous silicon layer or micro-crystalline silicon layer, which consists of two different thickness, is formed. The thinner region is defined as the channel region of the thin film transistor, while the thicker region is defined as the source/drain region of the thin film transistor. The thinner amorphous silicon region is fully melted using excimer laser and part of the thicker amorphous silicon region remains not melted, which is used as seeds. Polysilicon layer with larger crystallites and homogeneous growth is obtained by horizontally growing the crystallites in the fully melted region through the temperature gradient variation between the melting and non-melting zones.

Title: Integrated planar optical waveguide and shutter

IPC: B81B7/02
Filed: 2000-11-22
Granted: 2003-02-21
Abstract: An optical switch having an input waveguide and two output waveguides separated by and disposed around a trench. The input waveguide and a first output waveguide have respective optical paths defined by their respective cores; those optical paths (and cores) being aligned or coaxial with each other. Those waveguides are also separated by a trench having a medium provided therein that has a refractive index different from that of the waveguides. The input waveguide and first output waveguide are separated by a distance insufficient to affect the transmission characteristics of an optical signal propagating from the input waveguide to the first output waveguide, even though the optical signal experiences different refractive indices as it propagates from the input waveguide to the first output waveguide. The input waveguide and a second output waveguide are arranged generally on the same side of the trench such that an optical signal passing from the input waveguide to the second output waveguide does not completely traverse the trench. Thus, even though an optical signal passing from the input waveguide to either of the first or second output waveguide encounters different refractive indices, the distance over which the optical signal must travel between the waveguides is small enough so as to not affect the optical transmission characteristics of that signal. The same side of the trench such that an optical signal passing from the input waveguide to the second output waveguide does not completely traverse the trench. Thus, even though an optical signal passing from the input waveguide to either of the first or second output waveguide encounters different refractive indices, the distance over which the optical signal must travel between the waveguides is small enough so as to not affect the optical transmission characteristics of that signal.
