  • Method for forming high-density integrated circuit capacitors
    Patent number: 6171970
    Abstract: A method for etching a platinum surface 200. The method includes the step of forming a hardmask 202 including titanium, aluminum, and nitrogen on the platinum surface. The hardmask covers portions of the platinum surface. The method further includes removing platinum from uncovered portions of the surface with a plasma including a nitrogen-bearing species. The etch chemistry may also comprise an oxygen-bearing species.

  • Terminating apparatus adapted to terminate single ended small computer system interface (SCSI) devices, low voltage differential SCSI devices, or high voltage differential SCSI devices
    Patent number: 6125414
    Abstract: A terminating apparatus adapted to terminate a parallel small computer system interface (SCSI) disc drive or device is disclosed. The terminating apparatus includes termination circuitry adapted to terminate data/control lines of single ended (SE) SCSI devices, low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices and high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices. The terminating apparatus also includes a first connector coupled to the termination circuitry and adapted to be coupled to data/control lines of the SCSI device to be terminated through the disc drive connector.

  • Method of determining the relative fracturability of materials
    Patent number: 3987669
    Abstract: A method of determining the relative fracturability of two materials whereby samples of the materials are bonded together to form a composite sample and a force is applied to the composite sample to create and extend fractures therein. The rate of application of the force to the sample is controlled whereby the displacement of the sample resulting from the force increases at a relatively slow rate.
