Title: Refractory metal capped low resistivity metal conductor lines and vias formed using PVD and CVD
Inventor: JOSHI RAJIV V
IPC: H01L23/522
Filed: 1993-02-01
Abstract: Capping a low resistivity metal conductor line or via with a refractory metal allows for effectively using chemical-mechanical polishing techniques because the hard, reduced wear, properties of the refractory metal do not scratch, corrode, or smear during chemical-mechanical polishing. Superior conductive lines and vias are created using a combination of both physical vapor deposition (e.g., evaporation or collimated sputtering) of a low resistivity metal or alloy followed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of a refractory metal and subsequent planarization. Altering a ratio of SiH 4  to WF 6  during application of the refractory metal cap by CVD allows for controlled incorporation of silicon into the tungsten capping layer. Collimated sputtering allows for creating a refractory metal liner in an opening in a dielectric which is suitable as a diffusion barrier to copper based metallizations as well as CVD tungsten. Ideally, for faster diffusing metals like copper, liners are created by a two step collimated sputtering process wherein a first layer is deposited under relatively low vacuum pressure where directional deposition dominates (e.g., below 1mTorr) and a second layer is deposited under relatively high vacuum pressure where scattering deposition dominates (e.g., above 1mTorr). For refractory metals like CVD tungsten, the liner can be created in one step using collimated sputtering at higher vacuum pressures.

Abstract: A process and assembly are claimed for recovering concentrated alcohol from spent aviation de-icing fluid which consists of a mixture of water and one or more alcohols. The spent de-icing fluid is collected in a vessel and the mixture is heated in the vessel and partly evaporated. The resulting largely alcohol-free water vapour is collected by a condenser. The alcoholic distillate is removed from the vessel, and the condensate drained from the condenser. The de-icing fluid is distilled in the vessel at pressure reduced from ambient to 4.0-6.0 kPa, and at 35-40 degrees C. The condensate has a maximum water content of 5 wt.%.

Abstract: When an image scanner scans an image recorded on an
advanced photo system™ film, it determines spectral
transmittance of a portion of the film, which is not
exposed but developed, then sets parameters, such as
masking parameters and γ correction parameters, to be
used in image signal processes on the basis of the
spectral characteristics. Thereafter, the image is read
by a CCD and image data is outputted. The film scanner
applies the image signal processes to the image data
using the parameters set in accordance with the spectral
transmittance.

Abstract: A managed fuel air control system is provided that transitions between a closed loop stoichiometric A/F mode and an open loop lean A/F mode of operation. When conditions permit open loop lean operation, the engine A/F is ramped from stoichiometric to the desired lean A/F. Periodically, while operating in the open loop lean mode, the system returns to the closed loop stoichiometric mode to update an open loop correction factor used during the open loop lean mode. The time at stoichiometric is usually limited to the time it takes to correct errors in calibration data that have occurred during open loop operation. During lean operation, the adaptive corrections learned at stoichiometric A/F are applied.

Abstract: A method for performing pulse width modulation (PWM) on a
binary spatial light modulator using spatial-temporal
multiplexing. A 10% light boost is achieved by eliminating
deadtimes that are typically generated using the global-reset
operation of a DMD when bit-planes having small on times are
utilized. The number of bit-planes required is reduced by using
a combination of binary and ternary bit-planes to achieve
grayscale of a displayed digital image. By using a combination
of spatial and temporal processing, digital pixel values can be
displayed using a reduced number of bit-planes, without
generating perceived artifacts such as pulsing due to pixels
being turned on-off from frame to frame.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method of encoding a digital signal
with which a transmission buffer (an encoder buffer) does
not overflow even if recording of a signal on a recording
medium is temporarily inhibited attributable to, for
example, an external shock or even if transmission of a
signal by broadcast or communication is temporarily
inhibited because of unsatisfactory state of communication.
In a case where recording on an optical disk is temporarily
inhibited and an output of data from an encoder is
interrupted attributable to, for example, an external shock
during an operation for recording a bit stream obtained by
encoding a video signal on the optical disk, an encoding
bit rate is lowered. Thus, a fact that the encoder buffer
overflows can be prevented.
