Abstract: Le procédé et l'appareil décrits permettent une croissance contrôlée de couches minces d'oxydes métalliques à composants multiples, en particulier de couches minces supraconductrices à haute température, qui sont uniformes et reproductibles. Le procédé et l'appareil permettent de contrôler l'écoulement et la pression de la phase gazeuse des molécules contenant du métal à introduire dans la chambre de réaction, dans une chambre d'analyse, ou dans les deux. L'écoulement dans la chambre de réaction permet de déposer les oxydes métalliques sur un substrat et assure donc la croissance sur le substrat de couches minces d'oxydes métalliques à composants multiples, en particulier les couches supraconductrices à haute température. L'écoulement vers la chambre d'analyse permet l'analyse de la composition des gaz. L'appareil permet également l'ajustement de l'écoulement de la phase gazeuse et de la pression dans la chambre de réaction, en fonction des résultats de l'analyse de la composition. Selon un aspect de cette invention, une enveloppe chauffante assure un chauffage sensiblement uniforme dans tout l'appareil.

Abstract: The invention described herein is an alignment system (12) used in semiconductor manufacturing. It is the core component used to align a mask (4) containing a circuit pattern to a wafer (18) during a scanning sequence. The alignment system images an alignment reticle pattern onto a wafer which contains alignment marks. During scanning, the light from the alignment reticle image is reflected and scattered by the wafer and its alignment marks. Multiple detectors (24) are placed at a pupil plane of the alignment system to collect the reflected and scattered light in the bright-field and dark-field regions. The analysis of the resulting signals is used to align the wafer. The alignment system does not use or "look through" the projection optics of the scanning photolithographic device. Therefore, a broadband spectrum can be used for alignment illumination (22). This results in detection of wafer alignment marks independent of wafer structures.

Abstract: In a central jackscrew type connector system (22), a plastic module housing (28) is mated with a plastic receptacle housing, by means of a bolt (12). A metal insert, having an internally threaded metal blind axial bore is provided within the module housing (28), such that when the bolt (12) is torqued into the blind axial bore (31), a tip (73) on a threaded portion (71) of the bolt (12) engages a bottom (32) of the blind axial bore (31) prior to a flange (21) on the bolt (12) engaging the receptacle housing (50), thereby not applying the torque load to the plastic components. A crush rib is provided on the receptacle housing to bear a load applied by the flange (21) on the bolt (12) and to create a required compressive force keeping the module housing (28) and the receptacle housing snugly together. By torquing the bolt (12) to a predetermined value, the metal insert (29) is stretched relative to the bolt (12), and internal threads are deformed, thereby creating and storing strain energy. A portion of stored strain energy is recoverable, thereby providing a locking force keeping the bolt (12) within the metal insert (29).

Abstract: A system and methodology for obtaining temperature of a radiant object, such as a wafer in a rapid thermal processing chamber, employs a temperature measurement to control a supply of power to heating elements of the chamber, thereby to attain a desired temperature. The heating elements provide thermal radiation in a spectral band which overlaps a spectral band in which radiance is to be measured. The temperature of the radiant object is derived from a measure of the radiance and a measure of the emissivity of the object. Improved accuracy of the temperature measurement is obtained by measurement of the radiance of the object through an elongated angular filtering assembly, such as a set of baffles in one embodiment of the invention, wherein reflected rays from heating elements are trapped by the baffle assembly and, therefore, do not present any significant error in the measurement of the radiance. The radiance is measured via a filter which selects a specific wavelength of interest, and the emissivity measurement is made by use of a pulsed laser beam operative in the same wavelength, to produce incident and reflected beams of radiation from the object. The emissivity is calculated from the ratio of reflected power to the incident power. The reflected power is measured via a receiver tuned to a chopping frequency of the laser beam, thereby to exclude any background radiation within the band of interest from the emissivity calculation.
