  • Patent number: 4650915
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing p-chlorotoluene and/or m-chlorotoluene by ring-chlorination of toluene by using the following two pages (a) and (b) when further processing the toluene chlorination product composed of mixed isomers:(a) Isolation of p-chlorotoluene from a mixture of o-, m- and p-chlorotoluene by selective adsorption of p-chlorotoluene onto a mesoporous or macroporous zeolite and subsequent desorption of p-chlorotoluene(b) Treatment of an o-chlorotoluene-rich mixture of isomers with an isomerization catalyst.For the exclusive preparation of p-chlorotoluene first p-chlorotoluene is isolated and removed from the toluene chlorination product in stage (a). The remaining mixed isomers are then treated in stage (b) to increase their content of m- and p-isomers and then returned into stage (a).

  • Patent number: 4592921
    Abstract: A method for monitoring and regulating composition and layer thickness of metallically conductive alloy layers during their manufacture by means of electrical resistance measurement. Individual alloy components are cyclically applied in coats in chronological succession. By comparison of measured actual values of the layer resistance R.sub.G after the application of each and every individual coating to rated values determined before the layer manufacture, the coating rates of the corresponding alloy component sources are controlled. The method serves for the reproducible manufacture of thin metal layers in semiconductor technology and allows the control of composition and layer thickness even during manufacture of said layers.

  • Patent number: 4562089
    Abstract: A method of measuring the electrical resistance of thin metallic films manufactured under the influence of a plasma. The measurement proceeds by means of a direct current resistance measurement according to the principle of a two point or four point measuring method. The electrical resistance is determined either in the case of at least one measuring or test current, and the voltage connected to the measuring contacts is measured when no measuring or test current is sent through the film, or the electrical resistance is determined in the case of at least two different measuring or test currents of known magnitudes. The measuring methods are applied in the case of manufacture of metallic layers in semiconductor technology, in particular also for the measurement of the ion current injected in the film by the plasma as well as for the determination of variations in the coating rate.

  • Patent number: 4543576
    Abstract: A system for measuring electrical resistance and temperature during the manufacture of thin, conductive films deposited on substrates by means of evaporation or sputter-deposition. A deposition unit with an evacuatable load lock chamber and a rotating substrate holder are employed as the deposition system. The specific electrical resistance of the film is measured according to the principle of the two-point or four-point measuring methods at a reference substrate with specific sample geometry and with low-resistance contacts. The substrate temperature is measured by means of resistance thermometers. With the invention, the transmission of the measured data occurs contact-free by means of electro-magnetic radiation, preferably by means of a telemetric pulse code modulation method.

  • Patent number: 4351695
    Abstract: Monocrystalline metal layers having a low specific electrical resistance (.rho.<15.mu..OMEGA. cm) are produced by depositing a layer of a select metal or alloy in its polycrystalline state onto a substrate useful in semiconductor and thin film technologies, such as composed of glass, ceramic or silicon; substantially simultaneously with the deposition or thereafter, implanting ions which are inert relative to the metal or alloy so as to generate crystal lattice disruptions in the deposited layer and thereafter heating the so-coated substrate so as to convert the polycrystalline layer into its monocrystalline state. The principles of the invention are particularly applicable for the production of lead structures in micro-electronics.

  • Patent number: 4331702
    Abstract: Reproducible manufacture of metallic layers for semiconductor and thin film technology is attained by dynamic control of the layering process whereby the specific electrical resistance, .rho., is determined as a function of layer thickness, d, and layering parameters are regulated by a process-control computer. With this process, factors effecting the growth of a layer with respect to its structure, texture and composition are identified and calculated as measured values of .rho. and d, by the process-control computer and corrections for individual layering parameters are calculated via a suitable control program. In this manner, the nucleation of a layer and its growth is influenced in such a manner that the layer exhibits the desired electrical, structural and texture properties in its final state.
