Publication number: 20180373143Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel positive and negative photoresist compositions containing components that are based on one or more specific metals, metal salts, and/or metal complexes and methods of using them. The photoresist compositions and the methods are ideal for high speed, fine pattern processing using, for example, ultraviolet radiation, extreme ultraviolet radiation, beyond extreme ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, electron beam and other charged particle rays. The metals are characterized by high absorption cross sections and selected elastic and inelastic electron cross section.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2016Publication date: December 27, 2018Applicant: Irresistible Materials LTDInventors: Alex Phillip Graham Robinson, Andreas Frommhold, John Roth

Patent number: 10095112Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel multiple trigger negative working photoresist compositions and processes. The processes involve removing acid-labile protecting groups from crosslinking functionalities in a first step and crosslinking the crosslinking functionality with an acid sensitive crosslinker in a second step. The incorporation of a multiple trigger pathway in the resist catalytic chain increases the chemical gradient in areas receiving a low dose of irradiation, effectively acting as a built in dose depend quencher-analog and thus enhancing chemical gradient and thus resolution, resolution blur and exposure latitude. The photoresist compositions and the methods are ideal for fine pattern processing using, for example, ultraviolet radiation, beyond extreme ultraviolet radiation, extreme ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and charged particle rays.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: IRRESISTIBLE MATERIALS LTDInventors: Alex Phillip Graham Robinson, Alexandra McClelland, Andreas Frommhold, Dongxu Yang, John Roth

Publication number: 20160045311Abstract: The disclosure includes an arrangement for a handle for a catheter system that includes a first member and a second member. The handle can include a screw member positioned within the handle and configured for rotation about an axis. The screw member can include an internal thread. A carriage can be positioned within the screw member. The carriage can engage the internal thread and can be coupled to the first member. An alignment member can extend within the screw member to limit rotation of the carriage about the axis as the screw member is rotated. Rotation of the screw member in a first direction about the axis can cause the carriage to move in a first longitudinal direction within the screw member causing the first member to move in the first longitudinal direction relative to the handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2015Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventors: Alex Phillip McCann, Terry W. Daniels, David Eron Flory, Kevin C. Robin
