Patent EP-0917653-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOON STEPHEN ROBERT
IPC: G01R33/00
Filed: 1997-08-11
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for torque magnetometry is disclosed. A specimen (2), the magnetic moment of which it is desired to determine, is disposed on a support means. A temporally varying, for example sinusoidal, magnetic field Bext is generated in the region of the specimen so that interaction between the magnetic moment M of the specimen and the magnetic field causes a torque to be exerted on the specimen. Consequently the specimen and/or the support are deflected, typically a vibratory motion is set up. Means are provided to measure the motion of the specimen and/or support due to the torque. When the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field are known, the magnetic moment of the specimen can be determined from the results of the motion measurement. The frequency of the magnetic field can be adjusted so that the specimen and/or the support resonate. The support is typically a single silicon crystal having two orthogonal modes of vibration which have different resonant frequencies. This can facilitate the independent determination of the three orthogonal components of the magnetic moment of the specimen.

Abstract: In a Bi-CMOS integrated circuit device, to reduce a
collector-substrate junction capacitance in an NPN transistor and
to reduce the step of forming an anti-punch-through layer of the
N-channel MOS transistor. Using as a mask a resist pattern having
windows made on an element isolation LOCOS film 113a, 113c and
P-type well layer 106, impurities are ion-implanted to form a
channel stopper layer 115a, 115b for element isolation of a NPN
transistor and an anti-punch-through layer 115c for a N-channel
MOS transistor. Thus, a sufficient element isolation withstand
voltage can be assured while avoiding an increase in the
collector-substrate capacitance of the NPN transistor which is
due to the transverse diffusion of the channel stopper layer when
an epitaxial layer, well layer and LOCOS film are formed. In
addition, without increasing the number of steps, the drain-source
withstand voltage of the N-channel type MOS transistor and
the short channel durability can be improved.

from granular starting material without interim
storage. The device comprises two or more classifying
devices (1) which, with the aid of water, divide the starting
material into a plurality of grain fractions. 
     The grain fractions are taken out of the classifying
devices (1) in batches. The volume and weight of each
batch is determined, thus allowing the weight of dry matter
in the batch to be calculated. The Tromp curve associated
with the process conditions prevailing in a classifying
device (1) provides information on the relative composition of
the grain fraction divided off by the classifying device in
question. This information makes it possible to formulate a
number of equations which allow the composition of the
starting material and the composition of each grain
fraction to be calculated. The grain fractions can then be
mixed directly in the correct ratio in order to obtain the
end product.
