  • Patent number: 6911389
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for forming vias, trenches, and interconnects through diffusion barrier, etch-stop, and dielectric materials for interconnection of electrical devices in dual damascene structures of a semiconductor device. A buried via mask at the etch-stop level provides openings with two or more adjacent via misalignment error regions merged into rectangular windows aligned orthogonal to a long axis of the underlying conductive features of a first metal level. The rectangular windows used together with openings in a hard mask form via portions, and the openings in the hard mask provide trench portions. Via and trench portions coincide during trench or via etch, as well as during hard mask or etch-stop layer etch together forming an interconnect cavity, which may then be filled with a conductive material to provide a conductive interconnect between the conductive feature of the first metal level and a second metal level.

  • Publication number: 20030136643
    Abstract: A mounting system for a compressible conveyor belt drive roller comprises lower and upper bearing assemblies, and in accordance with a first embodiment, a jack screw mechanism is provided for engaging the upper bearing assembly so as to cause axial movement of the upper bearing assembly toward and away from the lower bearing assembly. As a result of such axial movement, the compressible conveyor belt drive roller is axially compressed or expanded so as to accordingly cause radial expansion and contraction of the drive roller. The radial expansion and contraction of the drive roller alters the circumferential extent of the drive roller which alters the conveying speed of a conveyor belt operatively engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the drive roller such that the conveyance speed of the conveyor belt can be synchronized with the conveyance speed of an oppositely disposed paired or companioned conveyor belt.
