Title: Sputter deposition and annealing of copper alloy metallization              M
Inventor: CHIANG TONY
IPC: H01L21/3205
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: A copper metallization structure and its method of formation in which a layer
(100) of a copper alloy, such as Cu-Mg or Cu-Al is deposited over a silicon oxide
based dielectric layer (64) and a substantially pure copper layer (102) is deposited
over the copper alloy layer (100). The copper alloy layer (100) serves as a seed or
wetting layer for subsequent filling of via holes (66) and trenches with substantially
pure copper and also provides barriers at the interfaces with the underlying dielectric
and the overlying pure copper. The copper alloy may be deposited cold in a sputter
process, but, during the deposition of the pure copper layer (102) or afterwards in a
separate annealing step, the temperature is raised sufficiently high to cause the
alloying element of the copper alloy to migrate to the dielectric layer (64).
Alternatively, the copper alloy may be deposited with the wafer held at an elevated
temperature. The alloying element that has migrated to the oxygen-rich surfaces
oxidizes to form thin stable layers (70), for example of magnesium or aluminum
oxide, that act as barriers there against diffusion of copper into and through the
dielectric layer (64). The inner barrier also promotes adhesion of the alloy layer to the
dielectric layer (64), thereby forming a superior wetting and seed layer for subsequent
copper full-fill techniques. Filling of the alloy-lined feature can be accomplished
using PVD, CVD, or electro/ electroless plating.

Abstract: In image processing according to the prior art, the
important part of photographic image data (referred to herein
as the object) could not be determined and therefore required
human participation. 
     A computer 21 which is the core of image processing
calculates an edginess which is an image variation from a
differential value of data for adjacent picture elements in a
step SA110, and determines object picture elements by selecting
only images with a large variation in steps SA120, SA130. As
optimum parameters for contrast correction and lightness
compensation are calculated from image data for object picture
elements in steps SA310-SA330, image processing indicators based
on object picture elements are determined, and optimum image
processing can be performed automatically. After summing a
luminance distribution for each area of the image, which is a
feature amount, while uniformly selecting picture elements in
a step SB110, a reevaluation is performed by a weighting
determined for each area in a step SB120, and a luminance
distribution strongly influenced by the luminance distribution
of the photographed object is thus obtained with uniform sampling.
After determining the intensity of this luminance distribution
in steps SB130-SB150, the image data is converted in a step SB160,
and image processing can therefore be performed with optimum
intensity while reducing the processing amount.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a concentration of a vapor fuel
in a lean-burn internal combustion engine includes a module
for performing purge concentration learning when in a lean-burn
where an air/fuel ratio sensor does not sufficiently work.
When detecting the concentration of the vapor fuel during a
lean-burn operation of the internal combustion engine, the
internal combustion engine is switched over to a homogeneous
combustion operation from a lean-burn operation, and the
concentration of the vapor fuel is detected under the
homogeneous combustion operation. Alternatively, the
combustion is switched over to the homogeneous combustion when
in a rich spike and when ensuring a brake negative pressure,
and hence the concentration of the vapor fuel is detected by
utilizing this timing. The thus detected and learned
concentration of the vapor fuel is utilized for the purge
control when in the lean-burn.

Abstract: A smart card (1100), smart card reader, and system for secure entry of a secret personal
identification number (PIN) directly into the smart card while the card is presented to the
reader. Because the user's PIN is entered directly into the smart card, authenticated directly
by the smart card itself, and not propagated outside the smart card, the PIN cannot be
covertly obtained through the use of a compromised reader or other device in the system. A
PIN keypad (1104) on the smart card allows user entry of the PIN, and an authentication unit
within the smart card verifies that the PIN is correct. The reader merely supplies electrical
power for the smart card to take the PIN entry and perform the authentication, but does not
handle the PIN itself in any way. The reader, however, is designed to allow access to the
keypad on the smart card while the smart card is being presented. The smart card keypad
may have identifying indicia (1106), or alternatively may be not visible, so that photographs,
logos, etc., placed on the smart card will not be obscured. In this case, the reader has an
overlaying surface with the identifying indicia for the keypad. The reader may also have a
separate keypad of its own for use with conventional smart cards that lack a keypad.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for estimating a tire wear
life which enables estimation of the tire wear life accurately in a short time.
In this method, a rubber index Gi of a rubber test piece which is made of
the same material as the material used in the tire tread portion of the tire
whose tire wear life is to be estimated is measured using an abrasion tester
which can be operated under a slip ratio of about 0.5 to 5% (step 100).
Then, friction energies of the tire in free rolling, in a state in which the tire
is provided with a toe angle, in a state in which a side force is applied to
the tire, in a state in which a driving force is applied to the tire and in a
state in which a braking force is applied to the tire are measured (step 102),
respectively. An expected value of the tire wear life T1 is calculated from
the rubber index Gi and the friction energies obtained above (step 104).
The tire wear life is estimated from the expected value of the tire wear life
T1 thus obtained (step 106).
