Patent EP-0688888-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEI LAWRENCE CHUNG-LAI
IPC: H01L21/205
Filed: 1995-06-15
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a substrate processing apparatus (10) for processing a substrate (20) having a peripheral edge, an upper surface for processing and a lower surface lying on a support (16). The apparatus includes a processing chamber (14) which houses the substrate support, in the form of a heater pedestal including a substrate receiving surface (22) for receiving the lower surface of the substrate. A circumscribing shadow ring (24) is located around the pedestal to cover peripheral edge portion of the substrate. The shadow ring also defines a cavity (70) between itself and the pedestal, at the peripheral edge of the substrate. In operation, the chamber receives processing gas at a first pressure and purge gas is introduced into the cavity, between the ring and the pedestal, at a second pressure which is greater than the first pressure. Fluid conduits (50) are provided to enhance the flow of the purge gas away from the peripheral edge of the substrate.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de circuit intégré enrobé d'époxyde à deux niveaux présentant des caractéristiques améliorées à haute température. Ce système est particulièrement utile pour emballer des circuits intégrés (22) présentant des plages de connexion (28) de puce en aluminium qui sont connectées électriquement à d'autres composants à l'aide de fils de métallisation (32) en or. On applique une couche de surface (38) d'époxyde non bromée sur la surface supérieure de la puce (22) en prenant particulièrement soin d'enrober les régions de liaison intermétalliques or/aluminium. On procède ensuite à un enrobage de deuxième niveau (40) qui consiste à utiliser un composé de moulage par transfert pour former un boîtier extérieur en plastique. Le boîtier résultant présente une croissance intermétallique réduite, une durée de vie en stockage prolongée à haute température et une fiabilité de fonctionnement accrue.

Abstract: This invention provides a method and device to support in the repair of substrates which would enable repairs to be performed efficiently. 
     A control unit (11) reads out of a floppy disk drive (12) or a network input/output unit the inspection results which include the defect file for substrate and stores them in a memory. This defect file is sorted into groups of components having the same defect code. In the order determined by this sorting, the defective components are moved by X-axis table (3) and Y-axis table (4) and imaged by imaging unit (1). The color image of each defective component is displayed on a monitor (10) along with its defect code. A layout diagram of the substrate is displayed to indicate the locations of the defective components. Components with the same defect code can be repaired consecutively.

Abstract: The computer includes a central processor (CPU) which has a cache memory (CA) in the form of a buffer memory between the used working memory and the other parts of the processor. It is designed to reduce the access time to the data. A cache controller (CA-S) is used for controlling data input and output. A main memory which is an EEPROM, is used for storing the entire programme and data. The EEPROM also acts as a RAM or a working memory. As the EEPROM is divided into segments it is convenient to use the EEPROM as a main memory, since it can be used instead of discs or CDs.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé, un appareil et un progiciel permettant de réduire les données émises en protocole TCP via une liaison de télécommunications externe en provenance d'une première application résidant dans un premier ordinateur, à destination d'une seconde application résidant dans un second ordinateur. Le procédé, l'appareil et le progiciel intègrent une fonction consistant à établir une première prise virtuelle dans le premier ordinateur en réponse à chaque requête de connexion faite par la première application pour la réception de données de requête en provenance de la première application. La fonction assure également l'instauration d'une première prise réelle dans le premier ordinateur et d'une seconde prise réelle dans le second ordinateur pour connecter le premier ordinateur au second ordinateur via une liaison de télécommunications externe, ces prises restant en l'état jusqu'à ce que les données de requête aient été remises à la seconde application. La fonction assure également, au niveau du second ordinateur, l'établissement d'une seconde prise virtuelle pour chaque requête de connexion faite par la première application, la seconde prise virtuelle correspondant à une première prise virtuelle établie au niveau du premier ordinateur en réponse à une requête de connexion de la première application. Un multiplexage des données de requête associées à une première prise virtuelle leur permet l'utilsation d'une première prise réelle et une émission en protocole TCP via la liaison de télécommunications externe. La fonction assure ensuite la réception des données de requête par la seconde prise réelle et leur démultiplexage, puis la remise des données de requête démultiplexées à la seconde prise virtuelle correspondante qui remet à son tour les données de requête à la seconde application.

Abstract: A tip and substrate preparation system (10) for use with scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) includes a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip maker, STM tip coater (38), a substrate treatment method for producing clean, flat gold substrates for STM use and methods for preparing chemically activated substrates for use with an atomic force microscope (AFM). The tip maker includes a coater and an etcher which are preferably controlled by electronic controllers (14). The etcher provides fully automatic tip etching in a two-stage process in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, permitting platinum alloys to be etched without the use of cyanide-containing chemicals. The coater is used to insulate the tips with soft polymer coatings so as to ensure very low tip leakage current (on the order of about 1 pA typical). The substrate treatment device comprises a quartz plate (122) and a quartz tube (114) for annealing substrates in a hydrogen flame. The chemically activated substrates for atomic force microscopy permit the surface of mica to be modified at will so as to be hydrophobic, hydrophilic, positively or negatively charged.

Abstract: Using a common area sensor to build a high resolution electronic camera requires a large sensor chip with an incumbent high cost. Using a line sensor results in slow imaging and therefore limited applications. An electronic camera using a small sensor chip with high speed imaging is therefore provided.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and data structure is

developing device drivers that are hierarchically related and
provides standardization to driver developers by listing in the
private area of a device object types of file objects,
including specific IRP handlers associated therewith, that may
be created under that device object to thereby provide a device
object context. In like manner, each file object has listed in
the private area types of other file objects, again including
specific IRP handlers associated therewith, that may be created
under that particular file object to thereby provide a file
object context. The default handler for a driver object points
to a multiplexing function that will process an incoming IRP
based on the available context information to "route" the IRP
to the appropriate handler. Each file object has reference to
a plurality of dispatch function references that are used by
the IRP handlers to fulfil a particular request. A request to
create a file object will also be validated to assure that only
file objects of the appropriate type may be created in
hierarchy, again according to the context information.
