Patent EP-0871200-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WU ROBERT W
IPC: C23F4/00
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: A low-temperature (<200°C) oxide etch process, particularly
applicable to a bi-level contact structure, practiced in a high-density
plasma etch reactor having both parallel electrodes
(34,52) and an inductive coil (46) for coupling RF energy into
the plasma. The top electrode (52) is composed of a fluorine
scavenger, such as silicon, glass carbon, or silicon carbide.
The RF bias power is split in a predetermined selectable ratio
between the two electrodes. Up to 25% of the total RF power is
applied to the scavenging electrode to achieve the desired
selectivity with adequate margin against etch stop. The etch
chemistry typically includes C 2 F 6 , CO, and Ar (or C 4 F 8 ), and the
entire chamber is kept below 180°C. Etching TEOS-grown oxide
with the inventive method produces center-point process results
of an oxide etch rate of greater than 800nm/min and a selectivity
to polysilicon of greater than 50:1.

Abstract: Two wafers are properly brought into contact with each
other. The first wafer is supported by a wafer support table
(3) having an annular peripheral portion (3d). The substrate
support table (3) is in contact with only the peripheral
portion (3d) of the first wafer. While the second wafer
opposing the first wafer is supported, the lower surface of
the second wafer is pressed near its central portion, so the
first and second wafers come into contact with each other
outward from the central portion. The central portion (3c)
of the wafer support table (3) is not in contact with the
first wafer. Even when particles adhere to the central
portion, unevenness on the supported first wafer can be
prevented. Therefore, no gas is left between the wafers.
This invention also provides a wafer support table formed
by fabricating a silicon wafer. A commercially available
silicon wafer is fabricated by lithography to prepare a wafer
support table (31). The wafer support table (31) has sealing
portions (31a, 31b) and deflection prevention portions (31c).
The wafer to be supported is chucked by reducing the pressure
between the sealing portions (31a, 31b). The wafer to be
supported is in contact only with the sealing portions (31a,
31b) and the deflection prevention portions (31c).

Abstract: A female electrical connector (140) adapted to be lowered
down a well on an electrical cable for remote connection to
a down hole male connector. The connector includes a
housing (228) with an attachment for securing the female
electrical connector to the cable, a female electrical
contact (220) within the housing, and an insulator (226) disposed
between the housing and the female electrical contact. The
female electrical contact is in electrical communication
with the cable and includes a circumferential ring defining
a central axis, and a cantilever finger extending generally
axially from the ring. The finger has a first portion
extending generally radially inward from the ring, and a
second portion extending generally radially outward from the
first portion to an axially-directed, distal end. The first
and second portions of the finger define therebetween a
radially innermost contact surface. The insulator includes
an outer shell between the circumferential ring of the
female electrical contact and the inner bore of the housing,
and an inner lip axially overlapping the distal end of the
cantilever finger. The inner lip shields the finger end
against engagement with the male connector moving within the
female connector. Some embodiments have a wiper seal (224)
arranged to wipe debris from the male connector as it enters
the housing. Preferred materials and methods of use are
disclosed.

Abstract: A GaN compound semiconductor laser includes
an AlGaN buried layer which buries opposite sides of a
ridge stripe portion formed on a p-type AlGaN cladding
layer. The AlGaN buried layer is made by first
patterning an upper part of the p-type AlGaN cladding
layer and a p-type GaN contact layer into a ridge
stripe configuration by using a SiO 2  film as an etching
mask, then growing the AlGaN buried layer non-selectively
on the entire substrate surface to bury
both sides of the ridge stripe portion under the
existence of the SiO 2  film on the ridge stripe portion,
and thereafter selectively removing the AlGaN buried
layer from above the ridge stripe portion by etching
using the SiO 2  film as an etching stop layer. Thus,
the GaN compound semiconductor laser is stabilized in
the transverse mode, intensified in output power, and
improved in lifetime.
