Patent EP-1172680-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MILLER SETH
IPC: B81B1/00
Filed: 2001-06-21
Abstract: A method for coating free-standing micromechanical devices
(302) using spin-coating. A solution with high solids loading
but low viscosity can penetrate the free areas (304) of a
micromachined structure. Spinning this solution off the wafer
or die results in film formation over the devices without the
expected damage from capillary action. If an organic polymer is
used as the solid component, the structures may be re-released
by a traditional ash process. This method may be used as a
process in the manufacture of micromechanical devices to protect
released and tested structures, and to overcome stiction-related
deformation of micromechanical devices associated with wet
release processes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing schedules for
multi-cluster tools that are used in semiconductor wafer
processing and similar manufacturing applications. The
method and apparatus comprise a schedule analyzer and a
pass-through chamber manager. The apparatus allows the
user to analyze N! possible scheduling routines
(algorithms) for a given multi-cluster tool configuration
and a given N-step process sequence. The invention derives
a plurality of possible scheduling algorithms for a given
set of input parameters and then compares the algorithms by
allowing either the user or an automated process to assign
each processing step within the proposed schedule a rank
ordered priority. Other process or wafer movement
parameters may also be given ranges such that the invention
can automatically derive optimal schedules with respect to
various parameter values. By comparing the results
achieved with each scheduling algorithm, the method
identifies the "best" schedule algorithm for a specific
tool and tool parameters.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système informatique de distribution sûre d'instruments porteur de valeurs tels que des coupons, des tickets, des chèques cadeaux, des mandats ou des chèques de voyage. Ledit système est en trois parties: l'utilisateur de l'instrument, le fournisseur de l'instrument, et la sécurité (service assurant la sécurité des transactions). L'utilisateur s'annonce à la sécurité qui vérifie son identité soit avant soit après le lancement de la transaction par le fournisseur de produits ou de services, ladite vérification pouvant se faire à tout niveau souhaité. Dans une exécution le fournisseur donne à l'utilisateur un jeton de confirmation qu'il doit présenter à la sécurité ainsi que son information d'identification car seul un utilisateur agréé peut effectuer la transaction. Le jeton permet à la sûreté d'obtenir du fournisseur de produits ou de services des informations par extraction ou émission de données. Dans certains cas, la sécurité crée le produit demandé ou le prestataire de services, puis le transmet de manière sûre à l'utilisateur agréé. On peut également utiliser des signatures numériques pendant toute l'opération pour garantir l'intégrité des données et l'identité de l'expéditeur.
