Abstract: A field effect transistor with a trench or groove gate having V-shaped walls is formed in a semiconductor substrate and a gate oxide is grown on the V-shaped walls to the surface of substrate and filled with a gate electrode material, such a polysilicon. Preferably, the bottom of the V-shaped walls are rounded before the trench is filled. Source/drain impurities either are diffused or implanted into the areas of the substrate on both sides of the surface oxide of the V-shaped gate. Contacts are made to the source, drain, and gate within field isolation to complete the structure. The resultant FET structure comprises a self aligned V-shaped gate having conventional source and drain surrounded by field isolation but with an effective channel length (Leff) of less than about one-half of the surface width of the gate. Preferably, the converging walls of the V-shaped gate end in a rounded concave bottom. Because of the V-shaped structure of the gate, the effective saturated length of the channel with drain voltage applied only extends from the edge of the source to just prior to the tip of the V-shaped structure in the interior of the semiconductor substrate. The drain side of the V-shaped structure becomes a depletion region due to the applied drain voltage. Due to this characteristic of such a structure, the surface width of the gate can be, for example, two or more times the distance of the desired channel length thereby permitting conventional lithography to be used to define the gate lengths much shorter than the lithographic limit.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon-soluble alkylaluminoxane composition, such as, methylaluminoxane or even a modified methylaluminoxane, can be prepared by preparing an alkylaluminoxane precursor via non-hydrolytic means, such as, by treating at least one trialkylaluminum compound with a compound containing an oxygen-carbon bond, adding to that precursor an effective amount of an organoaluminum compound which prevents formation of insoluble species, such as, a trialkylaluminum compound where each alkyl group contains two or more carbon atoms, and converting that modified precursor to an alkylaluminoxane, such as, by thermolysis. In a distinct embodiment of the invention, if an insoluble methylaluminoxane product is formed using the non-hydrolytic technique, it can be solubilized by treatment with a solubilizing amount of an alkylaluminoxane, prepared by either hydrolytic or non-hydrolytic means, wherein the alkyl moieties contain two or more carbon atoms. These aluminoxane products show high solubility in aliphatic hydrocarbons and improved thermal stability in aromatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract: By an appropriate arrangement of a permanent magnet (4) and ferromagnetic conducting material a stable levitation and carrying condition can be obtained. The permanent magnet (4) places the ferromagnetic material into a state of partial magnetic saturation. In order to move the load held by the magnet (4) as easily and efficiently as possible, electro-magnets are to be arranged in such a way that they influence the movement of the permanent magnet (4) in that, taking into account the magnetic saturation of the carrier section (1), the magnetic circuit generated by coupling the permanent electro-magnetic force fields tries to shorten itself. As a further development of the invention the coil cores (2) too can be integrated into the permanent-magnetic partial saturation which leads to the levitation and carrying condition so that a change in the saturation and thus the envisaged movement can be achieved by relatively few components, with little wear and a relatively small amount of electrical energy with which the coils (3) need to be supplied.

Abstract: A method for removal of cesium from aqueous solution, particularly from nuclear waste liquids. The cesium-containing aqueous solution is contacted with a solid-state hexacyanoferrate compound of a transition element for binding cesium to the hexacyanoferrate. The aqueous solution of reduced cesium content is separated from the hexacyanoferrate. Preferably, a nickel or cobalt hexacyanoferrate is utilized having a fraction of exchangeable transition elements smaller than 35 %. The hexacyanoferrate compound of said transition element may be produced by slowly adding an aqueous solution of the hexacyanoferrate into the transition element salt solution, the concentration of the transition element salt solution being at least 0.35 mol/l, stirring the mixture at ambient temperature during the addition, and separating and recovering the resulting hexacyanoferrate precipitate from the mixture. This method has achieved volume reductions-that is, volume of cesium-containing waste liquid remaining in the ion-exchange column reduced from volume of cesium-containing aqueous solution treated-of as much as 9000 fold.
