  • Publication number: 20080254638
    Abstract: Methods to etch an opening in a substrate layer with reduced critical dimensions are described. A multi-layered mask including a lithographically patterned photoresist and an unpatterned organic antireflective coating (BARC) is formed over a substrate layer to be etched. The BARC layer is etched with a significant negative etch bias to reduce the critical dimension of the opening in the multi-layer mask below the lithographically define dimension in the photoresist. The significant negative etch bias of the BARC etch is then utilized to etch an opening having a reduced critical dimension into the substrate layer. To plasma etch an opening in the BARC with a significant negative etch bias, a polymerizing chemistry, such as CHF3 is employed. In a further embodiment, the polymerizing chemistry provide at low pressure is energized at a relatively low power with a high frequency capacitively coupled source.

  • Patent number: 6086481
    Abstract: A connector for a swing fixed on a frame rod and a swing arm of a swing includes a bearing, two protective covers and a connecting member which has a rectangular horizontal hollow portion for the frame rod to extend therein, and two vertical parallel ears extending down from the horizontal portion. The bearing is sandwiched within round portions of the two covers placed between the two ears and pivotally connected with a pivot pin passing through the ears, the round portions of the covers and the bearing. Each cover has a lower rectangular portion extending down from the round portion to fit around and secured with an upper end of a swing arm so that the swing arm may swing together about the covers with the pivot pin. Thus the connectors permit the swing arms to swing smoothly with little friction, thereby lessening wear of the components.
