Inventor: SUGAI KAZUMI
IPC: B24B37/30
Filed: 2000-08-10
Granted: 2001-09-21
Abstract: A buried wiring line is formed without dishing using damascene and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processes. A key feature is the use of a first and a second pressure unit. The first pressure unit (15) has an air bag (18). The bag (18) is large in elastic deformation, and used to urge a copper film (5) of a silicon substrate (1) against a polishing pad (12) onto which a polishing liquid is supplied while the pad (12) is rotated, so that the copper film (5) is polished. The copper film (5) has been formed on the surface of the silicon substrate (1) through a barrier metal film (4). After polishing of the copper film (5), the silicon substrate (1) is transferred to the second pressure unit (25). The unit (25) has a metal plate (20). The plate (20) is small in deformation and used to urge the exposed barrier metal film (4) against the polishing pad (12) onto which the polishing liquid is supplied while the pad (12) is rotated, so that the barrier metal film (4) is polished to form the buried wiring line without dishing.

Title: Wrap spring shade operator
Inventor: BERMAN JOEL
IPC: E06B9/90
Filed: 2000-08-18
Granted: 2001-06-23
Abstract: A shade positioning system which employs a wrap spring clutch system includes a shade operator, a shade roller, and an idle end bracket for supporting the shade roller when mounted. The shade operator includes a self-lubricating central stud around which a helical coil spring is wrapped, a manually operated pulley mounted on the wrap spring, and a support bushing to ensure positive engagement of the aforementioned elements. The central stud is composed of a plastic or metal, which allows the smooth rotation of the wrap spring around the stud. The tangs of the wrap spring project substantially radially outward from the spring central axis, and are shaped to accommodate for the coefficient of friction between the stud and the spring. A first preferred spring construction allows for decreased spring surface area to contact the stud. A second preferred spring consturction allows for an increased spring surface area to contact the stud. Further, the bushing is provided with a projection which engages the wrap spring due to the weight of the shade. This engagement causes the spring to further grip the stud preventing pulley rotation.
