Patent EP-0807811-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ALDRIDGE PAUL K
IPC: G01J3/02
Filed: 1997-04-17
Abstract: Apparatus for spectrophotometric analysis of a material P in a container 16 by reflectance of a beam 4 applied to the material through aperture 11 in a primary mask 9. A restricted beam 12 resulting from the mask 9 is applied through a port 13 in an opaque secondary mask 10 to the material P. The beam 12 is wholly within the port 13 and radiation reflected from the material P passes through the port 13 to detectors 7 for analysis. The mask 10 defines by its port 13 an area on the base 17 of the container through which the beam 12 is applied to the material P and is not subjected to spurious reflections and refractions otherwise created by the container 16 between its base 17 and side wall 18. The container 16 may be spaced from the mask 10 and inclined relative thereto so that the mask 10 shields the top and bottom ends of the container 16. 
     The invention also includes a conversion kit with masks 9 and 10 for fitting to existing spectrophotometers and an apparatus by which an array of containers 16 can be fed successively and automatically to overlie port 13 for analysis and thereafter removed.

Abstract: An embodiment of the instant invention is a method of
forming a dielectric layer, the method comprising the steps
of: providing a semiconductor substrate (substrate 12), the
substrate having a surface; forming an oxygen-containing layer
(layer 14) on the semiconductor substrate; and subjecting the
oxygen-containing layer to a nitrogen containing plasma
(plasma 16) so that the nitrogen is either incorporated into
the oxygen-containing layer (see regions 18, 19, and 20) or
forms a nitride layer at the surface of the substrate (region
22). Using this embodiment of the instant invention, the
dielectric layer can be substantially free of hydrogen.
Preferably, the oxygen-containing layer is an SiO 2  layer or it
is comprised of oxygen and nitrogen (preferably an oxynitride
layer). The plasma is, preferably, a high-density plasma.
Preferably, a source of nitrogen is introduced to the plasma
to form the nitrogen containing plasma. The source of
nitrogen is preferably comprised of a material consisting of:
N 2 , NH 3 , N0,N 2 O, or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: A semiconductor electro luminescent diode (24) has a body of a semiconductor
material, having a pair of spaced opposed end surfaces (28, 30), side surfaces (2, 34)
and top (36) and bottom (38) surfaces. The body includes therein a active layer (48)
which extends from one end surface (28) to a point spaced from the other end surface
(30). The active layer is of a width narrower than the distance between the side
surfaces. Also, the active layer has a portion (50) adjacent the other end surface of the
body which is tapered to come to a point. First clad layers (44) of a material having an
index of refraction smaller than that of the active layer are at opposite sides of the
active layer and extend between the end of the active layer and the other end surface of
the body. Second clad layers (46) of a material having an index of refraction larger
than that of the first clay layers but less than the index or refraction of the active layer
are on the first clad layer. Radiation generated in the active layer and emitted from the
pointed end of the active layer extends in area in the portion of the second clad layer
between the pointed end of the active layer and the other end of the body so that the
area of the beam of radiation emitted from the diode is larger than the area of the beam
formed in the active layer.

exhaust duct (11) synchronized with first valve
means (12) for supplying drive air. The second

valve means (12) are open, and the other connecting
the second duct (11) with means (14) that supply
air under pressure, simultaneously or with a slight
delay after the first valve means (12) reach the
closed position. The means (14) supply air flowing
in a direction (Fp) opposite the exhaust direction
(Fs) in such a way as to create a counterpressure
in a chamber (4) of the turbine (5) at least until
the turbine stops completely.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, on produit un plot de contact perfectionné et résistant à l'usure en incluant des petites particules de matériaux durs dans le matériau conducteur de ce plot, de préférence par un dépôt effectué en même temps que le dépôt électrolytique du matériau en vrac du plot de contact. Les caractéristiques recherchées des petites particules de matériau dur comprennent une petite dimension particulaire, une dureté supérieure à celle du matériau en vrac du plot, une compatibilité avec les conditions de dépôt électrolytique, et une conductivité électrique. Des nitrures, borures, siliciures, carbures constituent des composés interstitiels typiques utiles, possédant les caractéristiques recherchées. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, on utilise un matériau en vrac à base de nickel et des particules de carbure de silicium. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on revêt le plot de matériau déposé conjointement avec des particules métalliques, à l'aide d'une couche de couverture mince à base d'un métal noble, ne s'oxydant pas, afin d'empêcher l'érosion électrique due à la formation d'étincelles, lors de la mise en contact et hors contact, à partir de la plage de connexion. Le rhodium et le ruthénium constituent des métaux appropriés qui peuvent être déposés de manière électrolytique sur la structure composite du plot.
