Patent EP-0985058-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHIANG TONY
IPC: C23C14/58
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: L'invention concerne la découverte selon laquelle la contrainte résiduelle présente dans un film de tantale (Ta) ou de nitrure de tantale (TaNx, où 0 ∫ x ≤ 1,5) peut être réglée (ajustée) au moyen du réglage de variables de processus particulières au cours du dépôt du film. Des variables de processus particulièrement intéressantes au cours du dépôt du film, pour des films de Ta et de TaNx appliqués par pulvérisation, comprennent: l'alimentation vers la cible de pulvérisation; la pression de l'enceinte de traitement (c.-à-d. la concentration de divers gaz et ions présents dans l'enceinte); la tension de polarisation à décalage en continu appliquée au substrat (généralement une augmentation de la tension alternative de polarisation appliquée au substrat); et la température du substrat sur lequel le film est déposé. Lorsque le film de Ta ou de TaNx est déposé à l'aide d'une pulvérisation de type IMP, on peut utiliser l'alimentation vers la bobine d'ionisation pour ajuster la contrainte du film. Le recours à la technique de pulvérisation de type IMP permet d'obtenir une commande particulière du bombardement ionique de la surface de film de dépôt. Des films de tantale (Ta) déposés à l'aide du procédé de type IMP présentent généralement une contrainte résiduelle de l'ordre d'environ +1 x 10+10 dynes/cm2 (contrainte de traction) à environ -2 x 10+10 dynes/cm2 (contrainte de compression) en fonction des variables de processus décrites plus haut. Des films de nitrure de tantale (TaN¿x?) déposés à l'aide du procédé de type IMP peuvent généralement être ajustés de façon à présenter une contrainte résiduelle du même ordre que spécifié plus haut pour des films de Ta. Il a été possible de réduire la contrainte résiduelle de films de Ta ou de TaNx pour obtenir des valeurs situées entre environ 6 x 10?+9¿ dynes/cm2 et environ -6 x 10+9 dynes/cm2 à l'aide des techniques d'ajustage décrites dans la demande. Les films de Ta et de TaN¿x? peuvent également être ajustés après formation du dépôt, par bombardement ionique de la surface du film et recuit du film déposé. On peut accroître la capacité de barrière des films en déposant les films à une température de substrat d'au moins 300 °C.

from the engine; second means (148) for providing downstream of
the proportioning actuator (28) a gas delivery pressure which
depends on the pressure in the manifold (76) and is in any event

IPC: H01M8/10

Abstract: The present invention is directed to method and apparatus for
monitoring the performance of a fuel cell stack in such a manner as to be able
to safeguard failing cells therein against damage by detecting when
undesirable operating conditions exist that portend major future stack
difficulties that could result in polarity reversal of the cell. The invention uses
optoisolators to monitor voltage across pairs of cells in a stack and alert an
operator and/or initiate corrective action when an abnormal condition exists
that leads to a drop in such voltage below the activation voltage of the
photoemitter in the optoisolator. The photoemitter is coupled with a photo-detector
which is series-connected to a plurality of other photo-detectors in a
string. A constant current is caused to flow in the string when all the
photoemitters are lit and the photo-detectors closed. Failure of one or more
cells causes its associated photoemitter to extinguish and its associated photo-detector
to open and interrupt the current flow in the string. When the current
flow in the string ceases a signal is generated that alerts the operator and/or
initiates action to safeguard the failed cell that caused the photoemitter to
extinguish.

Abstract: An application provides access by multiple user processes (130), to a single
network process (110). The application includes a socket library (120) and a network
process which contains the device driver software for a plurality of network devices and
components. The socket library provides the interface mechanism to the network
process and can be created as a static or dynamically linked library. All user processes

library communicates with the network process by formatting a message containing all
the information necessary for the network process to fulfill the intent of the API call.
The network process sends a message that is received by the socket library which, in
turn, transmits to the user process the return value and any data received from the
network process.

Abstract: A method for forming a silicone polymer insulation film having low relative
dielectric constant, high thermal stability and high humidity-resistance on a
semiconductor substrate is applied to a plasma CVD apparatus. The first step is
directly vaporizing a silicon-containing hydrocarbon compound expressed by the
general formula Si α O β C x H y  (α, β, x, and y are integers) and then introducing the
vaporized compound to the reaction chamber of the plasma CVD apparatus. The
silicon-containing hydrocarbon compound has at most two O-C n H 2n+1  bonds and
at least two hydrocarbon radicals bonded to the silicon. The next step is
introducing additive gas into the reaction chamber. The residence time of the
material gas is lengthened by reducing the total flow of the reaction gas, in such a
way as to forme a silicone polymer film having a micropore porous structure with
low relative dielectric constant.

on the basis of the time elapsed during the power saving mode measured by a time
information adjusting part such that the hands are driven in a direction which results in a
