  • ELECTROMOTIVE ADJUSTMENT DRIVE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20120161561
    Abstract: An electric-motor adjustment drive is provided for an adjustment element in a motor vehicle, in particular a window lifter, that has a drive module, which includes a pole pot that supports a motor shaft, and having an electronic module having a circuit board, which can be inserted into a housing of a brush holder, which housing is connected to the drive module. The circuit board is retained in an insertion plane perpendicular to the motor shaft by the housing of the brush holder in a form- and/or force-closed manner, wherein a number of contact elements for motor contacting and/or for interference suppression are arranged in the housing, which contact elements are contacted within the housing when the circuit board is inserted.

  • Integrated circuit and method of forming an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 8009477
    Abstract: An integrated circuit and a method of forming an integrated circuit. One embodiment includes a conductive line formed above a surface of a carrier. A slope of the sidewalls of the conductive line in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the carrier reveals a discontinuity and a width of the conductive line in an upper portion thereof is larger than the corresponding width in the lower portion.

  • Hard mask layer stack and a method of patterning
    Patent number: 7662721
    Abstract: A hard mask layer stack for patterning a layer to be patterned includes a carbon layer disposed on top of the layer to be patterned, a first layer of a material selected from the group of SiO2 and SiON disposed on top of the carbon layer and a silicon layer disposed on top of the first layer. A method of patterning a layer to be patterned includes providing the above described hard mask layer stack on the layer to be patterned and patterning the silicon hard mask layer in accordance with a pattern to be formed in the layer that has to be patterned.
