Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an insulating film of a semiconductor device by a chemical vapor deposition, a surface of a semiconductor wafer is treated with an organic compound such as ethanol and methanol, and then the semiconductor wafer is transported into a reaction chamber and an insulating film is deposited on the thus treated surface of the semiconductor wafer by a chemical vapor deposition using a raw material such as organic silicon compound. By treating the surface of the semiconductor wafer with the organic compound prior to the deposition, the filling capability and planarization of the insulating film are improved. Further the insulating film thus formed is free from voids and clacks, and an amount of water contained in the insulating film is very small. The treatment of the surface of the semiconductor wafer can be performed simply by spin coating, spaying, vapor exposing or dipping, so that the throughput can be improved. Moreover, a gas of said organic compound for treating the surface of the semiconductor wafer may be mixed with raw material gas and reaction gas in the reaction chamber.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting biological activities in a specimen such as blood are disclosed. The present invention provides a system whereby the intensity of light with a wavelength within the range of about 600 nm to 800 nm introduced into a sample at a first location is measured as it reemerges at a second location. A significant change in the intensity of the reemerging light indicates the presence of biological activity. Preferably, the intensity is also measured at a fourth location, or alternatively, a second light source is disposed at a third location to permit comparative intensity data to be collected. These data are useful in partially identifying the types of microorganisms present in the sample. In preferred embodiments, light emitting diodes are used as the light sources and multiplexed to a plurality of samples. These signals are either detected using photodetectors and demultiplexed, or are collected using fiber-optic light guides and fed to a photomultiplier tube which generates an intensity signal. In either embodiment, the intensity signal is preferably amplified, digitized and stored in a computer.

Abstract: A sterile containment welding device for plastic tubes comprises a pair of side by side spaced tube holders. Each of the tube holders includes a clamp base and a clamp lid. A pocket is provided in each clamp base extending completely across the clamp base so that a plastic tube could be inserted into the pocket and clamped in the holder when its clamp lid is moved to a closed position. Pockets of the side by side tube holders are alignable with each other to permit a plastic tube in one of the holders to be welded to the plastic tube in the other of the holders. A tube locating member is movably mounted at the end of each pocket in the space between the holders. The tube locating member has a wall disposed in the space beyond the pocket for positioning its plastic tube in the proper position for the later welding step when its tube is moved into contact with the walls. An inactivating member is mounted to each clamp lid to contact the tube locating member and move it out of contact with its plastic tube upon the closing of the lid so that the tubes are exposed to be heated and welded together.

Abstract: A method of forming high aspect ratio vias (376, 377, 378) through a plurality of polymeric dielectric layers (155a ... 155i) in a multichip module, and a multichip module structure incorporating such high aspect ratio vias are disclosed. Preferably, electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) etching is used to form the vias, at least some of which have aspect ratios greater than 3:1 and heights greater than 20 microns. According to the present invention, vias which extend to different patterned conductive layers (110, 115, 120) within the multichip module may be formed in a single step. The method is particularly useful for forming vias to capacitor plate layers within the multichip module because it substantially eliminates the risk of shorting due to defects in the mask layer when vias are formed solely through very thin dielectric layers between capacitor plates.

Abstract: A method for checking top and end of tape for data recording and reproducing apparatus is disclosed. The method comprises a first step for sensing a transparent tape section of a start portion of a tape wound about a tape take-up reel so as to sense the tape top. At a second step, a tape supply reel rotation period is detected and the detected supply reel rotation period is compared to a preset value. When the detected supply reel rotation period is not longer than the preset value, the tape end is checked at a predetermined period. However, when the detected supply reel rotation period is longer than the preset value, no tape end is checked. The method makes top-end checking time become optimal and saves power of the recording and reproducing apparatus, and reduces pulse noise generated in turning on or turning off the top-end checking LED.
