Abstract: A data processing system includes an instruction unit
generating a program instruction. A parse unit coupled to the
instruction unit receives the program instruction. The parse
unit determines whether the instruction contains both load and
store operations and generates first and second parcels for the
instruction containing both load and store operations. A decode

Abstract: A collar oxide is formed in a semiconductor substrate having (1) a
partially full trench, (2) (i) a fill surface defined by fill material
partially filling said trench, (ii) an upper surface outside of said
trench, and (iii) a trench sidewall surface not covered by said fill
material, and (3) a conformal oxide layer overlying said fill, upper, and
sidewall surfaces, by selectively etching as follows:
   (a) contacting the substrate with a mixture of hydrogen-containing
fluorocarbon and an oxygen source under reactive ion etching conditions
until at least a portion of the conformal oxide layer on the upper
surface is removed, and   (b) contacting the substrate from step (a) with a mixture of a
hydrogen-free fluorocarbon and a diluent gas under reactive ion etching
conditions to further remove conformal oxide remaining on the fill
surface and to overetch the upper and fill surfaces, whereby a
substantial portion of conformal oxide remains on the side walls to form
the collar oxide.    
     A further step (c) may be added after the overetching to remove any
residual byproduct polymer deposits. 
     Such an approach is especially adapted for use in the manufacture
of high aspect ratio trench capacitors for integrated circuits, since it
provides reduced degradation of pad nitride layers and may be conducted
without the use of CO gas.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for cleaning the bottom and
vertical side walls of a swimming pool, pond or tank
employs a robotic, self-propelled cleaner having a
protective housing of conventional design, the cleaner
being operated at a primary cleaning speed as it traverses
the surfaces to be cleaned and until the cleaner housing
emerges from the water along a sidewall of the pool;
thereafter the cleaner operates at a secondary drive speed
that is relatively slower than the primary speed and the
cleaner thereafter reverses direction and descends for a
pre-determined period of time at the slower secondary speed
in order to permit the air entrained under the housing to
escape without destabilizing the cleaner during descent.
after the predetermined period of time, the cleaner resumes
operation at the more rapid primary speed until the cleaner
housing once again emerges from the water's surface, after
which the cycle is repeated.
