Filed: 1998-07-02
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de production de substrats GaN épais de grande qualité comportant une couche déposée par épitaxie utilisée comme matériau de substrat pour un nouveau dispositif ou traitement épitaxique. La couche (11) est déposée sur un substrat mince appelé substrat jetable (10), en utilisant une technique épitaxique. La couche déposée est assez épaisse, de sorte que lors du refroidissement, la contrainte du déséquilibre thermique est réduite par la fissuration du substrat inférieur jetable et non par celle de l'épitaxie fraîchement déposée. La couche épitaxique devient ainsi une plate-forme, soit pour un nouveau dépôt épitaxique, soit pour un nouveau traitement de dispositif.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for invisibly tagging, for subsequent identification
purposes, various liquid petroleum hydrocarbons, such as crude oil, diesel fuel, heating oil,
kerosene, lubricating oils, waxes, jet fuel, and in particular gasoline, remarkably using visible
dyes by incorporating therein one or more visible dyes at minute levels such that they
cannot be visually detected by the human eye. Visible dyes which have high solubility in
petroleum hydrocarbons and maximum absorption in the 550-700 nm visible wavelength
range are used to impart such invisible markings. The visible dyes, although employed at
non-visible levels, are still capable of detection in a relatively quick and simple manner which
requires minimal instrumentation, creates no waste products for disposal, and gives true
quantitative results of dye concentrations in the field. This invention, therefore, further
provides a method for so identifying the tagged petroleum hydrocarbons by exposing the
tagged hydrocarbon to visible light having wavelengths in the portion of the spectrum
utilized and detecting and quantifying the presence of the dyes in the tagged product from
their characteristic absorption with available absorption detection equipment sensitive in this
spectral region. This invention also provides visible dye compositions particularly
appropriate for said invisible tagging.
