Abstract: A process and apparatus for Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 CVD on silicon wafers using aluminum tri-isopropoxide in a high-volume production environment is presented. The conditions required to use ATI in a production environment and provide maximum utilization of ATI are first of all delivery of ATI via direct evaporation. The ATI source bottle is pumped out (bypassing substrates) until propene and isopropanol signals are reduced to 1% of process pressure before start of aluminum oxide deposition. Either IR spectroscopy or mass spectrometry can be used to provide a control signal to the microprocessor controller. Heating the supplied tetramer to 120.degree. C. for two hours assures complete conversion to trimer. The ATI is stored at 90.degree. C. to minimize decomposition during idle periods and allow recovery of trimer upon return to 120.degree. C. for two hours. During periods of demand, the ATI is held at 120.degree. C. to minimize decomposition.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of simultaneously laminating circuitized dielectric layers to form a multilayer high performance circuit board and making interlevel electrical connections. The method selects two elements which will form a eutectic at one low temperature and will solidify to form an alloy which will only remelt at a second temperature higher than any required by any subsequent lamination. The joint is made using a transient liquid bonding technique and sufficient Au and Sn to result in a Au--Sn20wt% eutectic at the low temperature. Once solidified, the alloy formed remains solid throughout subsequent laminations. As a result, a composite, mulilayer, high performance circuit board is produced, electrically joined at selected lands by the solid alloy.

Abstract: Solder interconnection whereby the gap created by solder connections between an organic substrate and semiconductor device is filled with a composition obtained from curing a thermosetting preparation containing a thermosetting binder; and filler having a maximum particle size of 50 microns.
