Patent EP-0913240-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WOLF WALTER
IPC: B29C44/12
Filed: 1998-09-29
Abstract: A hollow core (16) is placed in the tool cavity before filling the latter with plastic particles (21). A perforated core (20) may be employed which allows steam introduced into the tool cavity for fusing the plastic particles to flow through the core wall and equalize pressure inside and outside the core. An Independent claim is also included for a foamed component with in internal hollow core (16). Preferred Features: Foam particles (21) may be fed under pressure into the cavity and during the filling air at a similar pressure is introduced inside the hollow core to provide pressure balance and avoid core collapse. Alternatively particles may be fed to the cavity at atmospheric pressure and the cavity volume reduced. Air is then introduced at a similar pressure to the external pressure acting on the core during cavity volume reduction. The core is made from the same material as the foam particles.

source with a first input and at its base or gate with a
second input. Each second input is further connected to
the base or gate and the emittor or source of a second
transistor (T i ). The currents of the outputs correspond
to the product of the currents through the individual inputs.
By combining the outputs sum products can be calculated,
especially for computing discrete probability distributions.

Abstract: A method of forming a buried plate in a silicon substrate uses a silicon substrate having
a deep trench etched into the silicon substrate. A highly doped polysilicon layer is formed
within the trench. A nitride layer is then formed within the trench over the polysilicon layer.
After forming both the polysilicon layer and the nitride layer, both the polysilicon layer and the
nitride layer are etched from a certain uppermost portion of the sidewalls of the trench thereby
exposing the silicon substrate at the uppermost portions of the sidewalls. After exposing the
silicon substrate at the uppermost portions of the sidewalls, a collar oxide layer is formed over
the exposed silicon substrate at the uppermost portions of the sidewalls thereby protecting any
edges of the polysilicon layer exposed by the etching step.
