Patent EP-1142011-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LETAVIC THEODORE
IPC: H01L21/336
Filed: 2000-09-25
Abstract: A method of making a semiconductor device such as a diode or MOSFET provided in a thin semiconductor film on a thin buried oxide is disclosed, in which the lateral semiconductor device structure includes at least two semiconductor regions separated by a lateral drift region. A top oxide insulating layer is provided over the thin semiconductor film and a conductive field plate is provided on the top oxide insulating layer. In order to provide enhanced device performance, a portion of the top oxide layer increases in thickness in a substantially continuous manner, while a portion of the lateral drift region beneath the top oxide layer decreases in thickness in a substantially continuous manner, both over a distance which is at least about a factor of five greater than the maximum thickness of the thin semiconductor film. This structure is achieved by a method including the steps of forming an oxidation mask including silicon nitride on the thin semiconductor film, and then patterning a portion of the oxidation mask with a series of sequential openings of different widths, a portion of the openings having a width less than the maximum thickness of the top oxide insulation layer. The thin semiconductor film is then oxidized using the oxidation mask to grow the top oxide insulation layer and lateral drift region portions which change in thickness.

Abstract: An air bag assembly for cushioning restraint of an occupant (14) in a vehicle (10) during an impact event. The air bag assembly includes an inflator (40, 40'; 140, 140') activatable to discharge inflation gas upon the occurrence of predetermined vehicle conditions and an air bag cushion (20, 20', 120, 120') in fluid communication with the inflator (40, 40', 140, 140') such that upon discharge of inflation gas from the inflator (40, 40', 140, 140') the air bag cushion (20, 20', 120, 120') is inflated to deployed state from a location of deployment in substantially opposing relation to the occupant (14). One or more profile restraining tether elements (30, 30', 130, 130') extend from locations on the air bag cushion to an anchor structure (48, 48', 148, 148') so as to shorten the operative length of the profile restraining tether elements (30, 30', 130, 130'). An actuation mechanism (36, 36', 136) activatable in response to a signal from a sensor (22, 24, 26, 27) measuring occupant conditions is used to release the tether elements (30, 30', 130, 130') from the anchor structure (48, 48', 148, 148') thereby extending the operative profile of the air bag cushion (20, 20', 120, 120') upon the occurrence of predetermined occupant conditions.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of producing bisphenol A, in which
bisphenol A is produced by condensation of phenol and acetone with the use
of a cation exchange resin as a catalyst and a free mercaptan as a promoter,
comprising feeding phenol and acetone to a multi-stage reactor in which at
least two fixed bed-type adiabatic reactors packed with the cation exchange
resin are arranged in series and a heat exchanger is provided at an inlet of
each of the reactors, and controlling the temperature within each of the
reactors so as not to exceed 90°C. 
     With this method, elimination of sulfonic groups from the cation
exchange resin as a catalyst can be suppressed, so that bisphenol A of high
quality can be obtained, and the amount of the catalyst used can be reduced.
