  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING A METAL STRUCTURE ON A SURFACE OF A SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20110177651
    Abstract: A method for producing a metal structure on a surface of a semiconductor substrate, including the following steps: A applying a metal layer, B applying a structuring layer and C removing the structuring layer. Either step B is carried out after step A, and step C after step B in a masking method, so that the structuring layer covers the metal layer at least partially and, after step B is carried out, the metal layer is removed from the regions not covered by the structuring layer, before step C is carried out or, in a lift-off method, step A is carried out after step B, and step C after step A, so that the structuring layer is covered essentially by the metal layer and, at least in the regions, in which the metal layer covers the structuring layer, the metal layer is detached when step C is carried out. It is essential that the structuring layer in step B is produced by a hot melt ink.

  • Series of Progressive Ophthalmic Lenses
    Publication number: 20110176102
    Abstract: A series of progressive ophthalmic lenses is proposed, which is indexed by optical power addition values of eyeglasses of spectacles to be made from these lenses. Each lens of the series determines a further gap between a value of the optical power for the near vision direction and a maximum value of the optical power which is obtained for a direction of gaze pointing below said near vision direction. The lenses of the series are adapted for postures of wearers that may vary as a function of the optical power addition values.
