  • Device and method of manufacturing a device
    Patent number: 5104848
    Abstract: A device comprising semiconductor elements and conductor tracks of an oxidic superconducting material, electrically conductive connections being formed between semiconductor elements and conductor tracks, is provided with an electrically conductive antidiffusion layer between the semiconductor elements and the conductor tracks. The antidiffusion layer is composed of an amorphous alloy having the composition A.sub.x E.sub.1-x, wherein A is selected from one or more of the elements Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir and Pt, wherein E is selected from one or more of the elements B, Si, Al, Ga and Ge, and wherein x has a value of from 0.7 to 0.95.

    Assignee: U.S. Philips Corporation
    Inventors: Jan Haisma, Andries R. Miedema
  • Device incorporating a bearing
    Patent number: 4490264
    Abstract: Bearings can be lubricated with ductile metal films. It has been found that the service life of such lubricating films can be improved by the use of metals which are alloyed with a component having a higher surface tension than the metal.
