  • Publication number: 20010019884
    Abstract: A damascene structure, such as a conductive line or via, having a liner with a roughened surface between the substrate and the conductive fill and, preferably, a smooth bottom. The substrate underneath the liner may also have a roughened sidewall and smooth bottom. Such a structure provides enhanced adhesion between one or more layers of the damascene structure. The damascene structure may be manufactured by applying a photoresist over a substrate top surface, exposing the photoresist under conditions that create a standing wave in the resist, and developing the photoresist to provide a pattern having the desired roughened or serrated outline. The pattern is transferred into the substrate, the liner is applied over the substrate bottom and sidewalls, and the liner is filled with conductive material. A roughened liner surface may be achieved by applying a partial layer of liner material over the substrate, removing a portion of the partial layer, and repeating the application and removal steps.

  • Patent number: 4323398
    Abstract: The tube bundle is moved out of its shell utilizing a frame structure having a number of movable trollies associated therewith for supporting the tube bundle at spaced points along the length thereof, the trollies having rollers disposed on opposite sides of the central axis of the tube bundle. The tube bundle supported by the trollies is horizontally moved off of the frame structure by rolling the trollies off of the frame structure, preferably onto a protector, and then can be moved to desired maintenance stations. The trollies are latched into place on the protector for movement from station to station. The tube bundle can be transferred from the trollies to a second set of trollies for effecting rotation of the tube bundle about its central axis at the same time that washing fluid is sprayed thereon, and the tube bundle while supported by the trollies may be moved off the protector into an automated cleaning system.
