  • Publication number: 20200270289
    Abstract: The invention provides a facile process for preparing various Group VI precursor compounds useful in the vapor deposition of such Group VI metals onto solid substrates, especially microelectronic semiconductor device substrates. The process provides an effective means to obtain such volatile materials, which can then be sources of molybdenum, chromium, or tungsten-containing materials to be deposited on such substrates. Additionally, the invention provides a method for vapor deposition of such compounds onto microelectronic device substrates.

  • Publication number: 20200131628
    Abstract: A process for forming a molybdenum-containing material on a substrate is described, in which the substrate is contacted with molybdenum dioxydichloride (MoO2Cl2) vapor under vapor deposition conditions, to deposit the molybdenum-containing material on the substrate. Advantageously, the robust process does not require pre-treatment of the substrate with a nucleating agent. In certain embodiments, the process results in the bulk deposition of molybdenum, e.g., by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques such as pulsed CVD or ALD.

  • Publication number: 20200066065
    Abstract: A method for measuring and logging the performance of a wheeled vehicle suspension system by measuring the dynamic performance of at least one component of said vehicle suspension system, the method including the steps of: setting the vehicle on a pre-determined path and within a pre-determined speed range; causing the suspension of said vehicle to be displaced by a substantially predetermined amount by causing the wheels of the vehicle to roll over one or more objects of known size on said path; measuring the displacement of said at least one suspension system component relative to the sprung mass of the vehicle and/or one or more fixed objects in response to said displacement; measuring the oscillation frequency of said at least one vehicle suspension system component in response to said displacement; and determining the suspension damping characteristics relating to the at least one vehicle suspension system component using the displacement and frequency measurements.

  • Publication number: 20200009967
    Abstract: A device and method for assuring fail safe operation of an energy vending system. Such systems are primarily used to recharge the batteries in electric vehicles. Fail safe operation assures that any failure of the energy vending system automatically disables all forms of energy release that could cause harm to individuals or property in the system's vicinity. All forms of failure such as earthquake are included but failure caused by accidental disruption such as a vehicle crash is considered primary.
