Publication number: 20090256335Abstract: An interior trim part with an airbag device has an airbag module (1) with a pot-shaped housing (11) for accommodating an airbag (12) which is attached at the protruding end of a firing passage (24) to a dimensionally stable support (2). An opening section (23) for the deployment of the airbag is predetermined in the support (2) by means of tear lines (21) and/or hinge lines. The problem arises of preventing, by means of a simple measure, the opening section (23) from tearing off during the deployment of the airbag (12). For this purpose, it is proposed that a first section (41) of a retaining band (4) is attached to the opening section (23), said retaining band running within the firing passage (24) as far as the base of the airbag module (1) and being fastened there.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2008Publication date: October 15, 2009Inventors: Markus Reil, Willi Schalude, Georg Kirchbaumer, Jean Christophe Girard

Patent number: 6716764Abstract: There is disclosed a method of forming contacts and metal lands onto a semiconductor structure at the first level of metallization (M0). The initial structure is a silicon substrate having diffusion regions formed therein and a plurality of gate conductor stacks formed thereon. The structure is passivated by an insulating layer. Contact holes of a first type are etched in the insulating layer to expose some diffusion regions, then filled with doped polysilicon to form conductive studs substantially coplanar with the insulating layer surface. A first mask (M0) is formed at the surface of the structure to expose M0 land recess locations including above said studs. The masked structure is anisotropically dry etched to create M0 land recesses. Next, the M0 mask is removed. A second mask (CS) is formed at the surface of the structure to expose desired contact hole locations of a second type.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2000Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christophe Girard, Renzo Maccagnan, Stephane Thioliere
