Abstract: A method for making a semiconductor device (10) includes the steps of
forming a first conductive layer (50) adjacent a substrate (52), forming
an etch stop layer (54) on the conductive layer, and forming a
dielectric layer (56) on the etch stop layer. The dielectric layer
includes a material having a low dielectric constant, and a via (12) is
formed through the dielectric layer to expose the etch stop layer at the
bottom, with porous sidewalls (16) being produced. The exposed etch stop
layer (54) is etched using an etchant that cooperates with etched
material from the etch stop layer to form a polymeric layer (64) to coat
the porous sidewalls of the via. Since the etchant cooperates with the
etched material from the etch stop layer to form the polymeric layer
coating the porous sidewalls of the via, a separate coating layer
deposition step is not required after the via is etched and cleaned.
After the porous sidewalls have been coated and polymeric material has
been etched from the bottom of the via, a barrier metal layer (66) is
formed on the polymeric layer (64), a seed layer (68) is formed on the
barrier metal layer, and a second conductive layer (70) is formed on the
seed layer contacting the first conductive layer in the via.

Abstract: An energy recovery device comprises at least one cylinder 15, a piston 26
slidable in the cylinder, first valve means 10 for selectively connecting one end of the
cylinder to waste liquid at a first relatively high pressure and to drain and second valve
means 31, 32 for allowing feed liquid to enter the other end of the cylinder at a second
lower pressure via a feed liquid entry port and to be discharged via a feed liquid
discharge port from said other end of the cylinder in response to movement of the
piston caused by waste liquid entering said one end of the cylinder. Also, means, such
as a rod 27 which extends from the other end of the cylinder and into but not through
the piston, ensures that the area of the piston acting on the feed liquid is less than the
area of the piston acted upon by the waste liquid so that the piston acts as a pressure
intensifier to discharge feed liquid through the feed liquid discharge port at a higher
pressure than the pressure of waste liquid entering said one end of the cylinder.

used as a power-supply voltage. A/D conversion input terminals
53 and 54 of the CPU 5 are connected to the battery 1 side of
a current detecting resistor 3 and the load 4 side of the resistor

Abstract: Writing predetermined data pattern (194) to an allocated segment of a disk drive and
appropriately reading that one data pattern while varying the read focus characteristics provides
for efficient and effective read focus optimization in an optical disk drive. In order to produce
helpful data, the read focus offset is varied while reading the different segments of the data
pattern, thus producing read out signals (196,198) with different peak to peak amplitudes (A-B,C-D). This is
compared to data which is obtained by reading the same data pattern while the offset is held
constant. Optimization of the read focus offset is carried out and made possible by appropriate
analysis of the waveforms produced when reading the predetermined data pattern in these two
reading passes. By appropriately tracking the results of the various read focus offsets, an
optimum read focus offset can be easily determined.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a waveguide grating (10)
comprises a core (11) and a first cladding material (12B) adjacent the core.
The first cladding (12B) is configured, as by etching, to provide a periodic
grating, and a second cladding material (14) having a controllable refractive
index overlies the first cladding material (12B). If the index of the second
cladding (14) is different from that of the first cladding (12B), the
configuration of the first cladding provides an optical grating. If, however,
the controllable index of the second cladding (14) is adjusted to equal that
of the first cladding (12B), the grating becomes essentially transparent.
This grating is particularly useful as a reconfigurable add/drop filter in a
WDM optical communication system. It is also useful in grating-assisted
couplers and variable optical delay lines.
