Patent EP-1257877-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NARAYAN CHANDRASEKHAR
IPC: H01L23/525
Filed: 2001-02-20
Abstract: A method of making a photolithography mask for use in creating an electrical fuse on a semiconductor structure comprises initially determining a pattern for a desired electrical fuse, with the pattern including a fuse portion of substantially constant width except for a localized narrowed region of the fuse portion at which the electrical fuse is designed to blow. The method then includes providing a photolithography mask substrate and creating on the photolithography mask substrate a fuse mask element adapted to absorb transmission of an energy beam. The fuse mask element has a first mask portion of substantially constant width corresponding to the desired electrical fuse pattern portion of substantially constant width, and a second mask portion corresponding to the localized narrowed region of the fuse portion. The second mask portion comprises either an additional mask element spaced from the first mask portion, a narrowed width portion, or a gap in the first mask portion. The second mask portion is of a configuration sufficient to create a latent image of the electrical fuse pattern, including the localized narrowed region of the fuse portion at which the electrical fuse is designed to blow, upon passing the energy beam through the photolithography mask and onto a resist layer. Preferably, the fuse portion of substantially constant width on the determined fuse pattern has a design width less than about 0.25νm, and wherein the localized narrowed region of the fuse portion has a design width less than the design width of the fuse portion.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une protéine isolée, fonctionnellement active, qui catalyse le clivage d'un substrat de gamma-secrétase. L'activité fonctionnelle de la protéine isolée suggère que ladite protéine renferme une gamma-secrétase. Selon un mode de réalisation, la protéine gamma-secrétase est associée à PS1. Cette invention porte également sur des méthodes homogènes de surveillance du clivage de la protéine précurseur β-amyloïde (βAPP) par la gamma-secrétase, qui ont permis d'éliminer les opérations d'isolement de d'extraction des produits de clivage. On peut détecter un clivage en reliant une paire d'adduits fluorescents au fragment de βAPP clivé par gamma-secrétase. Il est préférable de relier un premier adduit fluorescent au terminal carboxy du fragment de βAPP clivé par gamma-secrétase, sans pratiquement de réactivité hétérospécifique avec βAPP non clivé ou d'autres types de fragment de βAPP clivé par gamma-secrétase, cependant qu'un second adduit fluorescent se lie à une partie au sein de la région terminale amino du fragment de βAPP clivé par gamma-secrétase. La surveillance du transfert d'énergie fluorescente entre les adduits permet de détecter la liaison avec le fragment de βAPP clivé par gamma-secrétase.
