Patent EP-0996148-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAKAMORI YOSHINORI
IPC: H01L21/3065
Filed: 1999-10-15
Abstract: Wafers, each including an MOS semiconductor component
thereon, are introduced one by one into a single-wafer heat
treatment system. First, hydrogen is introduced into the
system and the wafer is heated up to a predetermined temperature
in Step 1. Next, while the wafer temperature is kept
constant at the predetermined temperature, the hydrogen sintering
process is performed in Step 2. Then, the wafer is
cooled down to another predetermined temperature or less
within the system in Step 3. Finally, the wafer is taken out
in Step 4. The time taken to perform a single cycle of the
sintering process may be within three minutes. Accordingly,
compared to a conventional process using a diffusion furnace,
the throughput can be increased and the temperature response
and uniformity of the wafer can also be improved. By taking
the wafer out of the system after sintering and then cooling
down it once, the damage caused in MOS interface states, for
example, by a previous process step can be repaired in a
short time.

Abstract: There is disclosed a tri-state buffer circuit for receiving an input signal at a
buffer input node and transmitting, responsive to a buffer enable signal, an output
signal at a buffer output node. The buffer circuit includes an input stage (202) coupled to
the buffer input node (208). The input stage (202) is configured to receive, when the buffer enable
signal is enabled, the input signal. The buffer circuit further includes a level shifter
stage (204) coupled to the input stage (202). The level shifter stage (204) is arranged to output, when
the buffer enable signal is enabled, a set of level shifter stage control signals responsive
to the input signal. A voltage range of the set of level shifter stage control signals is
higher than a voltage range associated with the input signal. The buffer circuit also
includes an output stage (206) coupled to the level shifter stage (204). The output stage (206) is
configured to output, when the buffer enable signal is enabled, the output signal (210) on the
buffer output node responsive to the set of level shifter stage control signals. The
voltage range of the output signal is lower than the voltage range of the set of level
shifter stage control signals. The output stage (206) decouples the buffer output node from
the input stage and the level shifter stage when the buffer enable signal is disabled.

Abstract: The invention relates to a field distribution converting
optical fiber which can be mass-produced and enables mutual
conversion elliptical field distribution to circular field
distribution or vice versa, and a laser diode module in which
the field distribution converting optical fiber is used. The
optical axis (1) is assumed to be Z, either of the refractive
index profiles of a core (2) in the X and Y directions of the
orthogonal three axes X, Y and Z orthogonal to each other is
made into a square-law distribution profile, a slope of the
refractive index distribution in the corresponding X direction
is made different from a slope of the refractive index
distribution in the Y direction. The optical axis propagating
in the XZ and XY planes is caused to cyclically change in the
Z axis direction, wherein these cycles are made different from
each other to cause the cross-sectional profile of the field
distribution of the optical fiber (1) to be cyclically changed.
The optical fiber length is made almost coincident with the
length of the common multiple between a one-fourth cycle length
of a field distribution change cycle of a light beam propagating
in the XZ plane in the Z direction and a one-fourth cycle length
of a field distribution change cycle of a light beam propagating
in the YZ plane in the Z direction, whereby optical waves having 
elliptical field distribution, which are made incident into
the incident side (8) of the optical fiber (1) are caused to
outgo from the outgoing side (9) as circular field distribution
optical waves.
