Publication number: 20080076060Abstract: Contrast enhancing layers and other materials that can be used as a conformal mask over a photoresist are discussed. In particular, methods and compositions are discussed that can be advantageous when performing lithography using short wavelength actinic radiation (e.g., wavelengths below 200 nm, such as 193 nm or 157 nm). For example, contrast enhancing layers that include an organosilicon containing material can be used to enhance the contrast of a pattern formed on an underlying photoresist layer. Silicon containing polymers, oligomers, and other non-polymeric materials can be used as effective CEL materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2006Publication date: March 27, 2008Applicant: Massachuetts Institute of TechnologyInventor: Theodore H. Fedynyshyn

Patent number: 6361580Abstract: A continuous process for the production of elemental aluminum is described. Aluminum is made from aluminum oxide and a reducing gas such as a light hydrocarbon gas or other reducing gas, for example hydrogen. In the process, a feed stream of the aluminum oxide and the reducing gas is continuously fed into a reaction zone. There the aluminum oxide and reducing gas are reacted at a temperature of about 1500° C. or greater in the reaction zone to provide a continuous product stream of reaction products, which include elemental aluminum. The product stream is continuously quenching after leaving the reaction zone, and the elemental aluminum is separated from the other reaction products.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2000Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Massachuetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Sven Plahte, Bjorn Lillebuen, Alexander F. Diaz, Jack B. Howard, Anthony J. Modestino, William A. Peters

Patent number: 6028424Abstract: A linearized optical sampler is described. The optical sampler includes an electro-optic modulator having an optical signal input, an electrical signal input, and at least two optical signal outputs that generate at least two modulated optical signals. The optical sampler also includes at least two detectors each of which being optically coupled to a respective one of the at least two modulated optical signals. Each detector generates an electrical signal in response to an optical intensity of the respective one of the at least two modulated optical signals. The optical sampler also includes a signal processor electrically connected to each of the at least two detectors. The signal processor applies an inverse transform of the modulator transfer function. The signal processor also generates an electrical signal from the electrical signals generated by the detectors and from the inverse transform that is linearly related to an RF signal electrically that is coupled to the electrical signal input.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1999Date of Patent: February 22, 2000Assignee: Massachuetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Jonathan C. Twichell, Roger J. Helkey
