Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of semiconductor arrangements
IPC: H01L21/00
Filed: 1967-06-15
Abstract: 1,133,812. Semi-conductor devices. SIEMENS A.G. 15 June, 1967 [16 June, 1966], No. 27656/67. Heading H1K. In order to prevent vaporization from the surface of a semi-conductor body during masked diffusion of a P-type dopant, the diffusion is carried out in a chamber containing a partial pressure of the semi-conductor material concerned. The invention is particularly applicable to the diffusion of Al and/or B into Ge, which requires a temperature of 600-930‹ C. The Ge partial pressure may be provided, as shown, by powdered Ge/Al and/or B alloy 3 surrounding the Ge wafers 4 in an evacuated quartz tube 1. The alloy may be contained in a Ta box. Alternatively the tube itself may be coated with Ge, or the diffusion may take place in a sealed Ge tube contained within a further sealed tube. A carrier gas such as argon or neon saturated with Ge may also be used. The masking material for the Ge wafers may be Si 3 N 4  or SiO 2 , the latter being formed by pyrolytic decomposition of silane. The SiO 2  may be mechanically stabilized by P, included by mixing phosphine with the silane. The Ge/Al and/or B alloy is prepared by alloying Ge with the dopant, and pulverizing the alloy. The alloy may also be treated with acid and annealed. The technique described may be used in the manufacture of planar Ge diodes, transistors or integrated-circuits, conventional photoresist masking methods being adopted. Other dopants referred to are As, Sb, In, Ga and Zn.

Title: Improvements in mechanical integrating mechanism
IPC: G01D1/04
Filed: 1954-09-24
Abstract: 760,882. Integrating-apparatus. LANDIS & GYR AKT.-GES. Sept. 24, 1954 [Sept. 25, 1953], No. 27690/54. Class 106 (4). Integrating - apparatus comprises a pawl' carrier 14 rotated at constant speed upon which a pawl 18 is pivoted under the control of a disc 36 driven by measuring mechanism so that the pawl is coupled to a ratchet wheel 47 for a time proportional to the instantaneous value of the magnitude measured, the time integral of which is indicated by a counter driven by the ratchetwheel 47. An abutment pin 25, arranged on the disc 36, is rockable and ineffective within a given range of rotation of the disc 36, and, in the remaining range, is locked and effective for bring- ing the pawl 18 into engagement with the ratchet-wheel 47. In each revolution of the carrier 14 the pawl 18 is disengaged from the ratchet wheel 47 by a pin 27 on a disc 28 frictionally held in a position preset with the aid of a scale 29 and index 30. The pawl is mounted on a bar 19 with two limbs 20, 21 formed with knife-edges resting in bearings 15, 16 on the carrier 14 and when the pawl 18 is disengaged from the ratchet-wheel 47 the bar 19 is drawn by a spring 22 against a nose 23 of the carrier 14. The pin 25 is mounted on a lever 31, 32 pivoted on a shaft 35 fixed on the disc 36 and is locked against pivotal movement by an arm 39 engaging the periphery of a disc 40 so that when the pin 25 engages the limb 20 it rocks the pawl 18 which is guided into engagement with the ratchet-wheel 47 by an abutment 45. If the value of the measured quantity is lower than a predetermined value to which the disc 40 has been set the arm 39 enters a recess 41 and the pin 25 yields when it encounters the limb 20 and no integration takes place.

Title: Pincushion effect correcting arrangement
IPC: H04N3/233
Filed: 1968-06-11
Abstract: 1,224,621. Cathode-ray tube circuits. SOC. OREGA ELECTRONIQUE ET MECANIQUE. 11 June, 1968 [12 June, 1967], No. 27795/68. Heading H4T. In an arrangement for correcting horizontal pin-cushion distortion in the raster of a television receiver the D.C. operating voltage supplied to the horizontal deflection circuit is modulated by a correction voltage waveform having a recurrence frequency equal to that of the vertical deflection circuit. The invention is described in connection with a television receiver in which the operating D.C. voltage supply V 4  (Fig. 1) for the horizontal deflection circuit 1 is derived from a voltage regulator 2 which has a first input V 1  comprising a rectified mains voltage and a second input comprising a constant reference voltage V 2  which is compared with a fraction of the output voltage, i.e. V 4 /K=V<SP>1</SP> 4  (where K is a constant) to produce an error voltage which controls the regulator such that the output voltage V 4  has a fixed value equal to KV 2 . Thus by varying the reference voltage the output voltage V 4  may be made to follow a desired law. For the correction of pin-cushion distortion the ideal correction function should have a hyperbolic form but a parabolic waveform is a sufficiently close approximation and such a waveform is derived from the S-correction capacitor normally included in the vertical deflection circuit. In carrying out the present invention (see Fig. 2) an adjustable portion of the voltage across this capacitor V<SP>1</SP> 3 =V 3 /K is derived by means of a potentiometer 7 and combined in an adder 3 with the fixed reference voltage V 2  to provide the sum voltage V 2 +V<SP>1</SP> 3  as the reference input to the regulator 2 so that the output voltage V 4  varies according to the function KV 2 +V 3 . If the parabolic voltage derived from the potentiometer in circuit 7 happens to be of negative polarity instead of positive polarity it should be added to the voltage V<SP>1</SP> 4  instead of being combined with the reference voltage V 2  (Fig. 3, not shown).
