Abstract: An apparatus and methods for a CVD system incorporates a plasma
system for efficiently generating a plasma remotely from a substrate processing zone.
The remotely generated plasma may be used to clean unwanted deposits from a
chamber, or may be used during substrate processing for etching or depositing
processes. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides an easily
removable, conveniently handled, and relatively inexpensive microwave plasma source
mounted on the lid of a deposition system. The remote microwave plasma source has a
plasma reaction volume that is relatively large compared to a plasma applicator tube
volume. Locating the gas inlet between the plasma reaction volume and a microwave
power coupler improves the conversion efficiency of microwave energy to ionic plasma
species.

Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory has circuitry
including a matrix (1) of nonvolatile erasable memory
cells (Mij) formed at intersections of word lines (WL1
to WLm) and bit lines (BL11 to BL1k, ..., BLn1 to
BLnk), a row decoder (3), a column decoder (5), and
sense amplifiers (71 to 7n) connected to the bit lines.
The nonvolatile semiconductor memory is adapted for
connection, when in use, to an external power source
(8) to receive therefrom a normal source voltage (Vcc),
required by the circuitry (1-7) for performing a normal
reading operation on one of the memory cells, and a
predetermined verify source voltage (V VER ), required by
the circuitry for performing a preselected verify
operation on one of the memory cells. 
     During the verify operation the received verify
source voltage (V VER ) is delivered to a transistor (14)
included in the selected sense amplifier (7i) that is
used for discriminating the data stored in the memory
cell being verified and to a word line (WL1 to WLm)
selected in the operation concerned whilst the received
normal source voltage (V cc ) is delivered to remaining
parts of the circuitry (1-7). 
     Such a memory can enable the verify source voltage
supply capacity of the external power source to be
reduced without changing the sensitivity of the sense
amplifiers.

Abstract: A method and system is presented for constructing and applying a
query processing tree to a relational database. The method/system
comprises an automated approach for building a vector block of records
using data in multiple input records derived from the relational database
and then applying at least one vector operator of the query processing
tree to the vector block of records. The approach can also include
creating the query processing tree to have multiple vector operators.
When applying the query processing tree, multiple vector blocks of
records may be employed at the same vector operator or different vector
operators. A vector descriptor control block associated with a vector
block of records is employed to transfer control of the vector block of
records from a first vector operator to a second vector operator in the
query processing tree. The at least one vector operator in the query
processing tree can comprise a table scan operator, a predicate operator,
a sort operator, an aggregation operator, a join operator or a math
operator.

Abstract: A drill bit (10) and method of drilling employing a gage definition region (30) on the
bit to relatively gradually and incrementally increase the diameter of the borehole
being drilled from a diameter that is cut by fixed face cutters (20) or rolling cone cutters
on the bit body to a larger diameter. Preferably, the diameter of the gage definition
region defined by cutting structures thereon varies along a longitudinal length of the
bit, being smallest nearest the leading end of the bit. In a preferred embodiment, the
gage definition region includes a plurality of helically arranged cutting elements (26)
disposed around the perimeter of the gage definition region. Such a configuration of
cutting elements helps to reduce the loading on, and wear of, each individual cutting
element. Thus the effective life of the bit is extended by enhancing its ability to drill
the borehole to the gage diameter over a longer interval than may be achieved with
conventional bit designs.

Abstract: A carrier head (200) that holds an object such as a wafer for a polishing system can
be rotated during polishing. One such carrier head (200) includes a sensor that determines
the relative orientation of (or the angle between) a movable chuck (230) and a drive
structure (210). A control system uses these measurements to select the edges pressure
applied to the wafer or the chuck (230) to control the attack angle of the wafer against
polishing pads. By actively adjusting the attack angle, a carrier head (200) can
accommodate torques about an axis not in the plane of contact between the wafter and the
polishing pad even when the wafer is otherwise free to rotate about the axis. One carrier
head (200) includes a drive plate (210) with projections ending with balls (212) that are
disposed in matching openings (232) in a carrier plate (230). Radial elongation of openings
(232) and curvature of the balls (212) permit rotation of the carrier plate (230) about an
axis in plane passing between the carrier and rive plates (210). Another aspect of the
inbentiond provides a flexible bladder (260) connected to a conduit formed in a drive shaft
(214) of the carrier head (22). A wafer is mounted adjacent the bladder (260) so that
pressure from the conduit causes the bladder (260) to expand and apply a uniform pressure
to the wafer for polishing.

Abstract: A rotating shroud is located on the suction side of the tips of a propeller fan and
coacts with an inlet orifice to provide the physical separation between suction and
discharge when the unit is in operation. The pressure differential across the fan tends
to cause the condensate to move towards the suction side and into the path of the
slinger (rotating shroud). The slinger then becomes wetted by the condensate, thereby
picking up the condensate and slinging it into the region between the fan and the coil.
The condensate is then evaporated upstream or within the coil, improving coil
effectiveness.
