  • Publication number: 20260101558
    Abstract: In a method for producing structured metallic contacts on a semiconductor substrate, in one embodiment a layer sequence consisting of multiple metallic contact materials is deposited on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a further metallic contact material is applied on the layer sequence in predetermined contact regions. Then, the layer sequence in the contact regions undergoes a thermal treatment to form a low impedance contact from a Schottky contact. The thermal treatment is carried out by scanning the layer sequence with a laser beam. In the method, the wavelength of the laser beam, the metallic contact material of the topmost layer of the layer sequence and the further metallic contact material are tuned to each other in such a way that the metallic contact material of the topmost layer of the layer sequence has a reflectivity for the laser beam that is 1.3 times higher than that of the further metallic contact material.

  • Patent number: 10969039
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer flexible hose, especially a multilayer flexible brake hose. The hose has the following layer structure: a single-ply or multi-ply outer layer based on at least one elastomer and at least one single-ply or multi-ply textile strength member layer and at least one single-ply or multi-ply textile adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer contains as the adhesive at least one zinc(II) salt of acrylic acid and/or at least one zinc(II) salt of methacrylic acid and/or at least one zinc(II) salt of monomethacrylic acid and a single-ply or multi-ply inner layer based on at least one elastomer.
