Abstract: In the manufacture of integrated-circuit devices, patterned features are made on a substrate by etching a deposited layer. The pattern comprises features which are closely spaced, as well as others which are more isolated. Etching is in approximate conformance with a lithographically defined resist pattern which in turn is in approximate conformance with a desired pattern. A processing parameter such as, e.g., resist layer thickness is chosen such that an etched pattern is obtained which approximates a desired pattern more closely than a lithographically defined resist pattern.

Abstract: A differential mechanism is provided with two output shafts 202 and 204 coaxially arranged and extending to wheels 203 and 205 of a vehicle. The differential is provided with a pair of connected discs 221, 209, the disc 209 being rotated about the common axis of the shafts 204, 202 by a drive shaft 206 and a pinion. An intermediate shaft 211 is eccentrically positioned between the two discs 209, 221 and is formed with a circumferentially extending spiral tooth 241. The tooth 241 engages a driving gear 217 fixed to the shaft 202 at one end-portion and the other end-portion of the member 240 provides a member in mesh with the second member 216 fixed to the shaft 204. The teeth of the members 216 and 240 are shaped and positioned so that drive between them is inefficient but they will translate over one another if the member 216 is rotated in the same direction and at the same speed as the member 240. This occurs when the vehicle is cornering and one wheel is increasing in speed while the other is reducing its speed. In the situation where one wheel loses ground adhesion, the differential prevents said one wheel from racing and removing drive torque from the other wheel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a an apparatus for laying an optical fiber unit with a pressure fluid into a previously laid duct line. Specifically, the apparatus performs this operation by a method for causing pressure fluid to flow backward into the guide tube on the feed side of the optical fiber unit so as to generate a buoyant force, so that the load due to the frictional force in the section between the feed side and the driving means can be much reduced. Accordingly, the method according to the present invention is particularly useful for pressure-sending an optical fiber unit into a duct line having insertion resistance, for example, a vertical duct line, a duct line having fine curves, or the like.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for growing semiconductor quality oxide thermal layers on semiconductor wafers fast enough to be economically feasible as a batch wafer process system. Process speed is insured by high pressure and high temperature. For example, if the pressure is about 10 to 25 atmospheres and at a temperature of 600°C to 1100°C, approximately 90.0 minutes are required to grow a 5,000Å oxide layer on about 50 wafers in a steam environment. The system can reach these operating conditions from ambient in approximately 17 minutes and depressurization and cool down require approximately 22 minutes. The apparatus includes a processing chamber (14) to be pressurized with an oxidant, such as high pressure steam or oxygen. The process chamber is contained in a pressure vessel (11) adapted to be pressurized with an inert gas, such as nitrogen, to a high pressure. A pressure control scheme is used to keep the fluid pressure of the process chamber slightly less than the pressure of the fluid pressure vessel. The pressure control permits the use of thin walls of quartz for defining the process chamber.
