Abstract: We have discovered that complete copper filling of semiconductor features such as
trenches and vias, without the formation of trapped voids, can be accomplished using a
copper reflow process when the unfilled portion of the feature structure prior to reflow
comprises a capillary (314) within the feature (301), wherein the volume of the
capillary (314) represents between about 20 % and about 90%, preferably between
about 20 % and about 75 % of the original feature volume prior to filling with copper.
The aspect ratio of the capillary (314) is preferably at least 1.5. The maximum opening
dimension of the capillary (314) is less than about 0.8 µm. The preferred substrate
temperature during the reflow process includes either a soak at an individual
temperature or a temperature ramp-up or ramp-down where the substrate (302)
experiences a temperature within a range from about 300°C to about 600°C, more
preferably between about 300°C and about 450°C. By controlling the percentage of the
volume of the feature which is unfilled at the time of the reflow process and taking
advantage of the surface tension and capillary action when the aspect ratio of the feature
is at least 1.5, the copper fill material is easily pulled into the feature (301) which
comprises the capillary (314) without the formation of voids along the walls (310) of
the feature. The preferred method of application of the last layer of copper prior to
reflow (the layer of copper which produces the unfilled capillary within the feature) is
electroplating, although CVD or evaporation or other conformal layer formation
techniques may be used.

Abstract: High melting temperature Pb/Sn 95/5 solder balls (18) are
connected to copper pads on the bottom of a ceramic chip carrier
substrate (10) by low melting temperature eutectic Pb/Sn solder.
The connection is made by quick reflow to prevent dissolving Pb
into the eutectic solder and raising its melting temperature.
Then the module is placed on a fiberglass-epoxy circuit board
with the solder balls on eutectic Pb/Sn solder bumps on copper
pads of the board. The structure is reflowed to simultaneously
melt the solder on both sides of the balls to allow each ball to
center between the carrier pad and circuit board pad to form a
more symmetric joint. This process results in structure that are
more reliable under high temperature cycling. Also, to further
improve reliability, the balls are made as large as the I/O
spacing allows without bridging beam on balls; the two pads are
about the same size with more solder on the smaller pad; the pads
are at least 75% of the ball diameter; and the eutectic joints
are made as large as possible without bridging between pads. For
reliability at even higher temperature cycles or larger substrate
sizes columns are used instead of balls.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compact and thin electronic control timepiece
having a long lasting time for indicating highly accurate time. The flow of an AC
electromotive force (102) induced in a coil in a generator (3) powered by a power spring
(1) is supplied to a step-up circuit (15) in an IC (11). The step-up circuit (15) boosts the
rectified electromotive force (102) doubling to charge in a smoothing capacitor (4) as
storage power. A step-up control circuit (16) generates a step-up control signal for
controlling the step-up operation of the step-up circuit (15). A cycle comparing circuit
(8) compares a reference cycle signal from an oscillation circuit (7) and a detected cycle
signal (105) synchronized with the rotational cycle of the generator (3), generates a cycle
correction signal (106) for eliminating a time difference between both signals, and
outputs the signal to a load control circuit (5). The load control circuit (5) in turn
changes a load current (107) on the generator (3) by appropriately selecting a load
resistor for changing switching elements within an internal circuit, controls the amount of
an electromagnetic brake corresponding to a current amount (107) flowing through the
load resistor and thereby governs the speed of the rotation cycle of the generator (3).

Abstract: The invention provides apparatus for sensing the
level of contents in a container comprising a body (20);
a diaphragm (50) having first and second faces; two
probes (40) connected to the first face of the diaphragm
for mechanical oscillation thereon; two actuating arms
(54,56) fixed to the second face of the diaphragm each in
a position opposite that at which a respective probe is
fixed; and a stack (70) comprising one or more driving
transducer and/or one or more receiving transducer, the
stack functioning such that the or each receiving
transducer generates a voltage in response to a change in
compressive force between ends of the stack and such that
a voltage applied to the or each driving transducer
causes the length of the stack between its ends to
change. Ends of the stack (70) are connected to the
actuating arms (54,56), and are subject to a compressive
force. Vibration of the probes (40) causes consequential
vibration of the actuating arms (54,56) to cause
modulation of the compressive force applied to the stack
(70).

disposed in the barrel and operable to engage the housing to prevent rotation of the
barrel from the initial key insertion position, and a peripheral notch (18) on each disc adapted

discs forms an opening into which the locking bar can pass to release the barrel and
thereby permit the barrel to rotate. The cylinder lock mechanism further comprises a
second locking bar (31) disposed in the barrel and each of the discs (70) has a second peripheral
notch (40) which when aligned form an opening for receiving the second locking bar. 
     The cylinder lock mechanism may also have spring means (72) acting radially on one or more

Abstract: A logic circuit output stage includes a first transistor with a first terminal that receives the first
logic output signal and a third terminal coupled to a first output node. A second transistor has a first
terminal coupled to the first terminal of the first transistor. A third transistor has a first terminal that
receives the second logic output signal and a third terminal coupled to a second output node. A fourth
transistor has a first terminal coupled to a third terminal of the second transistor and a second terminal
coupled to the second output node. An impedance is connected between the third terminal of the second
transistor and the first output node. In this output stage, the second transistor provides a transient signal
to the first terminal of the fourth transistor in response to a transition in the first logic output signal. The
fourth transistor provides a temporary change in the current flowing through the second output node in
response to the transient signal received from the second transistor. The temporary current change
provided by the fourth transistor allows faster charging or discharging of capacitive loads on the second
output node, thereby producing a faster output slew rate. Moreover, the faster output slew rate is
produced without significantly increasing either the integrate circuit chip area or the power consumed by
the output stage.

Abstract: The present invention, generally speaking, provides an RF modulator that allows precise, stable phase shifts to be obtained. The modulator uses a PLL structure including an auxiliary feedforward path used to inject a baseband modulation signal into the PLL at a point past a loop filter of the PLL. A phase demodulator recovers phase information from the output signal of the PLL. The recovered phase information is compared to the phase information of the baseband modulation signal. A resulting error signal is used to control injection of the baseband modulation signal into the PLL, to automatically achieve the correct "dosage." A precise, adaptive, phase-stable modulator results. The adaptation of the modulator compensates for variability of the VCO and other components of the PLL.
