Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device ( 10 ) with a field effect transistor, in which method a semiconductor body ( 1 ) of a semiconductor material is provided, at a surface thereof, with a source region ( 2 ) and a drain region ( 3 ) and with a gate region ( 4 ) between the source region ( 2 ) and the drain region ( 3 ), which gate region comprises a semiconductor region ( 4 A) of a further semiconductor material that is separated from the surface of the semiconductor body ( 1 ) by a gate dielectric ( 5 ), and with spacers ( 6 ) adjacent to the gate region ( 4 ), for forming the source and drain regions ( 2,3 ), in which method the source region ( 2 ) and the drain region ( 3 ) are provided with a metal layer ( 7 ) which is used to form a compound ( 8 ) of the metal and the semiconductor material, and the gate region ( 4 ) is provided with a metal layer ( 7 ) which is used to form a compound ( 8 ) of the metal and the further semiconductor material. The known method in which different metal layers are used to silicidate source and drain regions and gate regions ( 2,3,4 ) has several drawbacks. A method according to the invention is characterized in that before the spacers ( 6 ) are formed, a sacrificial region ( 4 B) of a material that may be selectively etched with respect to the semiconductor region ( 4 A) is deposited on top of the semiconductor region ( 4 A), and after the spacers ( 6 ) have been formed, the sacrificial layer ( 4 B) is removed by etching, and after removal of the sacrificial layer ( 4 B), a single metal layer ( 7 ) is deposited contacting the source, drain and gate regions ( 2,3,4 ). This method is on the one hand very simple as it requires only a single metal layer and few, straight-forward steps and it is compatible with existing (silicon) technology, and on the other hand it results in a (MOS)FET which does not suffer from a depletion layer effect in the fully silicided gate ( 4 ).

Abstract: An insert(10) is placed in a molding tool having a core and a mandrel(20) with centering pin(22). The centering pin and mandrel are held in the tool which allows them to move axially towards the insert and simultaneously rotate as they are screwed into an opening(18) in the insert. At the free end of the centering pin(22) facing the insert there is a self-cutting thread(32) for screwing into the tapered insert opening(18). During screwing in and out of the pin the mandrel rotates through 30-180[deg], preferably 45[deg]. The mandrel and centering pin may be spring-loaded in the axial direction. Pegs(19) at the front end(16) of the insert(10) facing the tool supporting the insert on the core when screwed into the latter. For sealing around the outlet area of the mandrel and centering pin the end face of the tool facing the insert has compression lips. Recesses for receiving contact pins(12,14) are also located in the end face of the tool. Rotational and axial movement of the mandrel and centering pin is by an ejection system(30). The insert is shaped(38) to prevent rotation. An independent claim is included for a process molding plastic around an insert, in particular a multi-pole electrical plug, in which the insert is pressed against the tool by screwing a centering pin on a tool mandrel into the insert.

Abstract: An energetic beam is directed toward the felt (12) or other surface, e.g. a screen belt. Quantities of energy penetrating it and reflected by it are measured. A high-intensity light source or laser (14) is used. Alternatively it is a sound source, especially an ultrasonic sound source. Source intensity is a function of: felt structure, particle size of contaminants, especially paper fillers. It is a function of web structure (i.e. of the fibrous raw material of the paper or card product). The beam is oscillated over the web width. A sensor (16) measures energy penetrating. The velocity of beam transverse oscillation, maximizes the number of measurement points. Energy reflected and transmitted during scanning, is measured and evaluated. The method is further elaborated in accordance with the foregoing principles, the following salient features being noted. Scanning is by traversing and measurements are taken with sensor contact, using e.g. frosted glass (18). The felt state is inferred from the measurements, especially its thickness and the degree of contamination. An independent claim is included for corresponding measurement equipment.

Abstract: Disclosed is an array for modifying a wavefront of an optical beam (3) having a beam axis (15). Said array comprises an influencing unit (1) which can be introduced into the beam path of the optical beam (3) and a heat source (12) that generates a thermal pattern and acts upon the influencing unit (1). The influencing unit (1) is provided with at least one planar cooling plate (7a, 7b) that extends transversal to the optical axis (15) of the incident beam (3) and a fluid layer or gel layer (9) which has a two-dimensional expansion, is disposed on the cooling plate with a basal surface, and absorbs the heat of the heat source. The two-dimensional expansion is large enough to receive approximately the entire cross section of the beam. The thickness of the fluid layer or gel layer (9) is embodied in such a small manner that only a minute amount of heat can flow perpendicular to the beam axis (15) while being thick enough for the wavefront of the incident beam (3) to be modified by the heat pattern resulting from thermal impingement of the fluid or gel (9). The wavefront of a beam can thus be influenced in an inexpensive and tailor-made manner. Beams that are influenced in such a way can preferably be used in high-power lasers for creating custom modes.
