Patent number: 7709371Abstract: A method for restoring hydrophobicity to the surfaces of organosilicate glass dielectric films which have been subjected to an etchant or ashing treatment. These films are used as insulating materials in the manufacture of integrated circuits to ensure low and stable dielectric properties in these films. The method deters the formation of stress-induced voids in these films. An organosilicate glass dielectric film is patterned to form vias and trenches by subjecting it to an etchant or ashing reagent in such a way as to remove at least a portion of previously existing carbon containing moieties and reduce hydrophobicity of said organosilicate glass dielectric film. The vias and trenches are thereafter filled with a metal and subjected to an annealing treatment.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2004Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Anil S.

Publication number: 20060284075Abstract: A system for effecting a soft or gentle ionization technique to avoid fragmentation of analyte molecules provided to a micro mass spectrometer for analysis. To ionize the analyte molecules, the system may be based on proton transfer reaction (PTR) for ionization, UV light to generate either positive or negative ions, or E-field ionization. For example, with PRT, there may be a water generator for providing H2O to an ion generator. H3O+ may be provided by the generator to a charge transfer reactor that brings a stream of H3O+ molecules together with analyte molecules. Then, H+ atoms may be transferred from the H3O+ molecules to the analyte molecules without breaking up or fragmenting the respective analyte molecules. The ionized molecules may be provided to a micro mass spectrometer for analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2006Publication date: December 21, 2006Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Ulrich Bonne, Nancy Iwamoto
