Patent EP-1557843-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LEE RANDEL
IPC: C01B31/02
Filed: 2005-01-17
Abstract: A method of fabricating a nanotube probe tip and the resultant probe tip, particularly for use in an atomic force microscope. A moderately sharply peaked support structure (62, 164) has its tip cut or flattened to have a substantially flat end of size of about 20 to 200 nm across. The support structure may be formed by etching a conical end into a silica optical fiber. Nickel or other catalyzing metal (76) such as iron is directionally sputtered onto the flat end and the sloped sidewalls of the support structure. The nickel is anisotropically etched to remove all the nickel from the sidewalls but leaving at least 15 nm on the flat end to form a small nickel dot (80). A nanotube is then grown with the nickel catalyzing its growth such that only a single nanotube (84) forms on the nickel dot and its diameter conforms to the size of the nickel dot. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, a catalyst material (180) can be directly deposited on to the probe end using charged particle beam deposition, such as electron beam deposition.

Abstract: Viewer individual attribute information indicating an attribute of a particular viewer such as an age, male or female, a resident district, a taste, an occupation and a life style is stored in a receiving terminal apparatus of the particular viewer. When a broadcasting program is transmitted from a service supply apparatus to the receiving terminal apparatus, service addition information indicating an attribute of the broadcasting program or an attribute condition required of viewers is transmitted to the receiving terminal apparatus with contents of the broadcasting program. In the receiving terminal apparatus, the service addition information is collated with the viewer individual attribute information of the particular viewer, and it is judged whether or not the broadcasting program is suitable for the particular viewer. In cases where the broadcasting program is suitable for the particular viewer, the broadcasting program is received by the receiving terminal apparatus and is reproduced and displayed. Therefore, the broadcasting program can be received by only a group of particular viewers desired on a side of the service supply apparatus even though the group of particular viewers is not specified.

Abstract: A testing circuit 30 is provided for a semiconductor device having a test mode in which the information about built-in memory cannot be read after testing and cutting a pad formed in a scribe area. The scribe pad 1 and the scribe ROM 2 are formed in the cutting area b of a wafer. Upon power-up of a chip a, a power-on reset circuit 4 transmits a reset signal to a mode register 10. After setting the initial resister value to "00", a mode switch signal is input from the mode switch terminal, the scribe ROM 2 is activated, and the test mode is set. In this process, a Manchester-coded signal is provided from the scribe PAD 1, decoded by a frequency-divided clock provided from a clock dividing circuit 8, the value of the register in the test mode in the mode register 10 is set, and external reset is asserted or negated. Once the wafer is diced the ROM for transition to the test mode is annihilated.
