Abstract: The invention provides a method of measuring a carrier concentration of a semiconductor
(2), comprising the steps of determining said carrier concentration by optical
measurement means using a light having at least a frequency band which causes light
absorption by free carriers in said semiconductor (2). A reflection amplitude ratio and a
phase of said light or the result of measurement of a substitute therefor are obtained by
the optical measurement means, and said carrier concentration is determined based on
the reflection amplitude ratio and said phase or said result of measurement of the substitute
therefor.  
     The invention enables non-contact, non-destructive, simultaneous measurement of the
carrier concentration and the thickness of a semiconductor layer by improving ellipsometry.

(9). An electrically conductive metal layer (13) is formed
which is disposed over and contacting the barrier layer (11)
and has sidewalls. An anti-reflective coating (15) is formed
on the electrically conductive metal layer (13) remote from
the barrier layer (11). The electrically conductive metal
layer (13) is encapsulated between the barrier layer (11) and
the anti-reflective layer (15) with a composition taken from
the class consisting of TiN, W, Ti, and Si 3 N 4 . The composition
is them removed except from the sidewalls of the electrically
conductive metal layer (13) to encapsulate the electrically
conductive layer. The electrically conductive metal layer
(13) is indented relative to the barrier layer (11) and the
anti-reflective layer (15) to form an I-shape with the barrier
layer and the anti-reflective layer. The step of
encapsulating comprises the step of chemically vapor
depositing a conformal layer of the composition (17) over the
previously structure resulting and then isotropically etching
a portion of the composition (17) to provide a sidewall on the
electrically conductive metal layer (13) conformal to the
sidewalls of the barrier layer (11) and the anti-reflective

Abstract: Provided is a novel method for rapidly determining
an impurity level in a gas source. A gas source and a
measurement tool are provided for measuring an impurity
level in a gas flowing from the gas source. The measurement
tool is in communication with the gas source through a
sampling line. The sampling line has a gas inlet disposed
upstream from a gas outlet. The sampling line is baked
according to a baking strategy, such that when baking is
terminated, a concentration profile of the impurity in the
sampling line contains a first region and a second region.
In the first region, extending from the gas inlet to a point
downstream from the inlet, the vapor phase concentration of
the impurity is less than the vapor phase concentration of
the impurity in the gas entering the sampling line. In the
second region, located downstream from the first region and
extending to the gas outlet, the vapor phase concentration
of the impurity is greater than the vapor phase
concentration of the impurity in the gas entering the
sampling line. A method for rapidly determining an impurity
level in a gas distribution system which delivers gas to a
point of use is also provided. Particular applicability is
found in the semiconductor processing industry to measure
impurities in gases delivered to processing tools.

Abstract: The perspective of a displayed video game image is moved in
order to bring an attentional subject into a hypothetical focus frame, and
the focus frame is moved back to a rear position on an extension opposite to
the direction in which the attentional subject moves, for providing a wide
area in front of the attentional subject in the direction in which it moves,
and the attentional subject is brought into the moved focus frame. The rear
position is a position in which a central reference point of the focus frame is
located on a boundary line of the circular center movement range when the
central reference point is moved opposite and parallel to the direction in
which the attentional subject moves. The wide area provided in front of the
attentional subject in the direction in which it moves, provides enough room
for maneuver for the game player to take an action easily even when an
opponent game character suddenly pops up in the displayed video game
image.

Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in selecting prediction
parameters, particularly in relation to, but not exclusively to, selecting motion
vectors in the compression of digital video signals. 
     This invention provides a method and apparatus for generating a
compressed output digital signal 16 by using temporal compression. The
output digital signal 16, includes prediction parameters, e.g. motion vectors in
digital video compression. An initial estimate is made for each of the
prediction parameters and stored in a buffer 31. The prediction parameters
are updated recursively 32 with reference to other prediction parameters.
One advantage of this method is that the prediction parameter estimates 34
are more robust to noise. This avoids the situation where small advantages
in picture quality are outweighed by a larger codeword. The output signal 16
can therefore be transmitted using less bandwidth.

Title: Waste sterilisation
Inventor: CLARKE HOWARD MORGAN
IPC: A61L11/00
Filed: 1998-09-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus therefor, for the sterilisation of waste material,
particularly though not exclusively medical waste is provided. The waste material is
comminuted, loaded into a pressure, vessel, treated with steam and removed from the
pressure vessel. The latent heat in the steam heats the waste material to a sufficiently
high temperature to effect sterilisation. The pressure vessel is purged of air prior to
being pressurised with steam. After sterilisation the water that has built up in the
pressure vessel is drained off, before the pressure in the vessel is released. As the
vessel and its contents are still at a high temperature, this sudden release in pressure
results in a considerable drying of the waste material.
