  • Patent number: 9383646
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel two-step photoresist compositions and processes. The processes involve removing acid-labile groups in step one and crosslinking the remaining material with themselves or added crosslinking systems in step two. The incorporation of a multistep 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. 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. Dual functionality photosensitive compositions and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4856862
    Abstract: A storage system based on the propagation delay of light is disclosed which utilizes an array of fiber optics to store the information. The storage device is configured as two loops. Data is injected from one loop and data is continuously recirculated for storage in the other loop. A pulsed laser provides the clocked energy source and is split for use, both, in recirculating the data, and for new data injection. Multiple channels of light are extracted by using a diffraction grating. The source may be interrupted to erase data in the recirculating memory. Recirculation takes place over a single strand fiber optics coil of any length. Multiple frequency encoded channels of data are multiplexed into the single strand of fiber optic with an integrating lens and the channels are decoupled on the other end with a diffraction grating. To prevent compounding signal degradation, optical switches are used to regenerate the signal at each pass through the loop.
