Patent EP-1035589-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZHANG FENGYAN
IPC: H01L21/203
Filed: 2000-03-06
Abstract: An Ir combination film has been provided that is useful in
forming an electrode of a ferroelectric capacitor. The combination film
includes tantalum and oxygen, as well as iridium. The Ir combination
film effectively prevents oxygen diffusion, and is resistant to high
temperature annealing in oxygen environments. When used with an
underlying Ta or TaN layer, the resulting conductive barrier also
suppresses to diffusion of Ir into any underlying Si substrates. As a
result, Ir silicide products are not formed, which degrade the electrode
interface characteristics. That is, the Ir combination film remains
conductive, not peeling or forming hillocks, during high temperature
annealing processes, even in oxygen. A method for forming an Ir
composite film barrier layer and Ir composite film ferroelectric electrode
are also provided.

Abstract: A lithographic process for making an article such as a semiconductor
device or a lithographic mask is disclosed. In the process, articles are
fabricated by a sequence of steps in which materials are deposited on a
substrate and patterned. These patterned layers are used to form devices on
the semiconductor substrate. The desired pattern is formed by introducing
an image of a first pattern in a layer of energy sensitive material. The image
is then developed to form a first pattern. A layer of energy sensitive material
is then formed over the first pattern. An image of a second pattern is then
formed in the layer of energy sensitive material formed over the first pattern.
The second pattern is then developed. The desired pattern is then developed
from the first pattern and the second pattern.

Abstract: In one embodiment of a user authentication system and method according to the
invention, a device shares a secret, referred to as a master seed, with a server. The device and the
server both derive one or more secrets, referred to as verifier seeds, from the master seed, using a
key derivation function. The server shares a verifier seed with one or more verifiers. The device,
or an entity using the device, can authenticate with one of the verifiers using the appropriate
verifier seed. In this way, the device and the verifier can share a secret, the verifier seed for that
verifier, without that verifier knowing the master seed, or any other verifier seeds. Thus, the
device need only store the one master seed, have access to the information necessary to correctly
derive the appropriate seed, and have seed derivation capability. A verifier cannot compromise
the master seed, because the verifier does not have access to the master seed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for increasing the effective
processing speed of a parallel decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) by combining block
processing and look-ahead techniques in the selection (multiplexing) stage. The present
invention extends a parallel DFE by using look-ahead techniques in the selection stage
to precompute the effect of previous blocks on each subsequent block, and to thereby
remove the serial output dependency. The parallel DFE includes a multiplexor tree
structure that selects an appropriate output value for each block and precomputes the
effect of previous blocks on each subsequent block. A multiplexing delay algorithm on
the order of logN is employed to resolve the output dependency and thus speeds up
parallel block processing DFEs. The disclosed DFE architecture can be combined with
pipelining to completely eliminate the critical path problem. Pipelining reduces the
required critical path timing to one multiplexing time. The disclosed multiplexor tree
circuitry for the parallel decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) groups multiplexor blocks
into groups of two, referred to as block pairs, and provides at least one multiplexor for
each block,  i , to select an output value, y i , from among the possible precomputed values.
The output of each parallel block depends on the possible precomputed values generated
by the look-ahead processors for the block, as well as the actual values that are
ultimately selected for each previous block. In order to reduce the delay in obtaining
each actual output value, the present invention assumes that each block contains each
possible value, and carries the assumption through to all subsequent blocks. Thus, the
number of multiplexors required to select from among the possible values grows
according to N-logN, where N is the block number.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for scrambling a high definition television signal to discourage unauthorized recording of same. While recording per se is not prevented, the resulting recorded signal is rendered unusable due to an induced "wobble" between the active video and the associated sync pulses. The scrambled television signal is readily viewable on a compliant high definition television set which descrambles the HDTV signal using an encoded indication of the amount of wobble accompanying the HDTV signal. Also provided is a special interface to prevent unauthorized persons from using the indication of the amount of wobble so as to defeat the scrambling. Also provided are method and apparatus for defeating the scrambling method and hence allowing recording of the scrambled video signal.

Title: Gantry system and method for operating same
Inventor: PAVLOVIC MARIUS
IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a gantry system for adjusting and aligning an ion beam onto a target from a freely determinable effective treatment angle. The ion beam therein is introduced in the horizontally arranged gantry rotation axis of the gantry system and is firstly deflected away from the gantry rotation axis by means of magnetic optics. The ion beam is then so aligned onto a target at adjustable angles of from 0 to 360° around the gantry rotation axis that the ion beam intersects the gantry rotation axis in the isocentre of the gantry system. Besides the gantry, the gantry system has a target carrier system having a rotatable target carrier, the carrier rotation axis of which is arranged in the isocentre in a vertical direction with the respect to the gantry rotation axis. The final deflection magnet so deflects the ion beam that the ion beam intersects the gantry rotation axis in the isocentre at an angle of between greater than or equal to 45° and less than 90°. Consequently, the ion beam can describe the surface of a cone when the gantry is rotated a full revolution about the gantry rotation axis. The target carrier system has a target carrier for each of two positions, which are perpendicular to one another in a vertical plane, it being possible to bring the carrier rotation axis into the isocentre of the gantry system. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for irradiating a tumour from freely determinable effective treatment angles by means of the gantry system described above.

Title: Method of purifying isophthalonitrile
Inventor: OTSUKA SUSUMU
IPC: C07C253/34
Filed: 2001-09-08
Abstract: In a method for separating isophthalonitrile from a gas
produced by causing m-xylene to react with ammonia and
oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst, the gas
is brought into contact with an organic solvent having a
boiling point lower than that of isophthalonitrile; a liquid
in which isophthalonitrile is trapped in a trapping step is
distilled, to thereby recover isophthalonitrile and the
organic solvent from the top of the column and separate at
the bottom of the column impurities having boiling points
higher than that of isophthalonitrile; and the organic
solvent is recovered from the top of the rectification column
and liquefied isophthalonitrile of high purity is recovered
at the bottom of the column. Thus, loss of isophthalonitrile
and plugging of a vacuum-evacuation system caused by
isophthalonitrile migrating from a condensation system during
distillation under reduced pressure can be prevented, and
high-purity isophthalonitrile can be produced at high yield
constantly for a long period of time.
