Abstract: A method of inspecting a tube header bore comprises scoring an oxide scale layer within the bore using a hard scribing tool. The bore is then cleaned using one or more honing brushes having flexible bristles with carbide tips. After sufficiently cleaning the inner surface of the bore a florescent dye is applied to the surface for highlighting surface defects and a visual inspection is made. For easy access to the interior of the bore, the tube is cut at a point spaced from the bore. After the inspection is complete a new length of tube is connected such as by welding.

Abstract: This invention relates to a semiconductor device having a resistor element of polycrystalline silicon and method of manufacturing the device. The resistor element comprises a first conductive layer made of a first polycrystalline silicon layer and island-like second conductive members made of a second polycrystalline silicon layer and provided on end sections of the first conductive layer respectively. The resistance value of the resistor element is determined by a center section between the end sections of the first conductive layer. Therefore, high resistance value can be obtained by decreasing the thickness of the first conductive layer, or the center section thereof without sacrificing the degree of integration. On the other hand, the contact portions with wiring layers become a large thickness because they are composed of the end sections of the first conductive layer and the island-like second conductive member.

Abstract: Implantation of oxygen or nitrogen in polysilicon layers to a dose above about 10.sup.15 ions/cm.sup.2 retards rapid grain boundary migration of conventional dopants such as B, P, As, Sb, and the like during dopant activation. Pre-annealing of the poly films to increase the grain size also decreases rapid grain boundary migration. The efffects can be combined by first pre-annealing and then implanting oxygen or nitrogen before introducing the dopant. It is desirable to anneal the oxygen implant before introducing the dopant to allow for oxygen diffusion to the grain surfaces where is precipitates and blocks the grain boundaries. Vertical and lateral migration of the dopants can be inhibited by placing the implanted oxygen or nitrogen between the dopant and the location desired to be kept comparatively free of dopants. When very high dopant activation temperatures are used the blocking effect of the oxygen on the grain boundaries is overwhelmed by dopant diffusion through the grains.

Abstract: A process is described for forming semiconductor device which include forming step of coating of silicon oxide derivative before ion implanting step: The coating prevents unnecessary extention of channel stop regions thus produces high speed and high current drive ability of produced semiconductor device.

Abstract: An improved bipolar device is disclosed having a polysilicon emitter formed over a base region of a silicon substrate with oxide spacer portions formed on the sides of the emitter and metal silicide portions formed over the base region adjacent the oxide spacers whereby the use of polysilicon for the emitter results in high gain as well as vertical shrinking of the device because of the shallow diffusion of the emitter into the base and the elimination of an extrinsic base region. The use of oxide spacers and metal silicide adjacent the spacers results in a shrinkage of the horizontal spacing of the device to lower the base-emitter resistance and capacitance to thereby increase the speed of the device.
