Abstract: A programmable interconnection system for a programmable array includes pluralities of parallel buses for rows and columns of logic cells arranged in the array. Two groups of seven buses are provided for each row or column of logic cells. The buses include conductors connectable to each other, and selectively connectable to, or isolated from, the logic cells. A hierarchy of conductor lengths is disclosed to provide intra-sector and inter-sector bussing. Staggered switching is employed for adjacent sector access.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for depositing the material onto a substrate is provided. The apparatus includes a mesh member which has impregnated therein the material which is to be vapor deposited. The mesh member with the material thereon is heated to vaporize the material and the vaporized material is then deposited onto the desired substrate. Preferably the material that is deposited is maintained in a crucible having an opening and the mesh member is disposed over the opening. The material in the crucible is vaporized and condensed onto the mesh member, and the condensed material wicks through the mesh member and then revaporizes from the top of the mesh member and is deposited onto the substrates.
