  • Publication number: 20040195680
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement comprising at least two different electronic semiconductor circuits (HS) in which each of the semiconductor circuits (HS) is a component made of semiconductor material and which has an electrically active surface and electronic contacts, and corresponding contacts of the semiconductor circuits are connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner. In order to simplify production, the semiconductor circuits (HS) are produced in a common support (12) made of semiconductor material and are connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner. Electrically conductive contacts (18) that are connected to the semiconductor circuits (HS) are produced on the surface of the support (12) by metallizing the support. Said support (12) has an expansion (13), which is made of the same material, forming a unit with the same, and which is provided for accommodating additional switching elements or components.

  • Patent number: 6222066
    Abstract: A process for the purification of organic isocyanates or isocyanate mixtures in which the amount of chlorine compound(s) present is reduced by mixing the isocyanate(s) or isocyanate mixtures with a gel-type or macroporous, anion-exchanging organic material having tertiary and/or quaternary amino groups. The process renders possible a purification of the isocyanates from chlorine-containing compounds which is milder than in conventional processes and is therefore particularly suitable for temperature-sensitive isocyanates.
