  • CMP process
    Patent number: 6844262
    Abstract: A method of making a semiconductor structure includes determining a polish time which is sufficient to planarize a layer on a semiconductor substrate. The layer is polished for the polish time to planarize the layer, and then the layer is polished to a predetermined thickness. The semiconductor structures can be used to make a semiconductor device.

  • Processes for the preparation of D-chiro-inositol
    Patent number: 5932774
    Abstract: A method for the preparation of D-chiro-inositol from kasugamycin, comprising the steps of: (a) reacting kasugamycin with an acetylating agent to form a crude hexa-acetate intermediate; (b) purifying the crude intermediate to form purified hexa-acetate intermediate; (c) deacetylating the purified intermediate to form D-chiro-inositol; and (d) isolating the D-chiro-inositol. The method permits efficient, large-scale preparation of D-chiro-inositol without the need for extensive chromatographic purification of the final D-chiro-inositol product.
