Isolated measurement circuit for sensor resistance

A circuit and method is disclosed for measuring the resistance of a resistive sensor, such as a PTC or NTC temperature sensor used for monitoring the temperature of the windings of an electric motor. The measurement circuit is based on an electronic circuit in which conductors from a sensor located in the object to be monitored are connected to an amplifier circuit in a feedback configuration that reduces the DC level supplied to the voltage divider when the sensor resistance increases. The measured signal is amplified and, using a comparator to compare it with the output voltage of a sawtooth generator, a continuous PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal is generated and transmitted in digital format to a SELV electronic circuit, for example through an opto-isolator. The essentially logarithmic signal amplification makes it possible to reliably distinguish between a short circuit in the sensor circuit and low values of sensor resistance.

Dual damascene process flow enabling minimal ULK film modification and enhanced stack integrity

Interconnect structures possessing an organosilicate glass interlayer dielectric material with minimal stoichiometeric modification and optionally an intact organic adhesion promoter for use in semiconductor devices are provided herein. The interconnect structure is capable of delivering improved device performance, functionality and reliability owing to the reduced effective dielectric constant of the stack compared with that of those conventionally employed because of the use of a sacrificial polymeric material deposited onto the dielectric and optional organic adhesion promoter during the barrier open step done prior to ashing the patterning material. This sacrificial film protects the dielectric and optional organic adhesion promoter from modification / consumption during the subsequent ashing step during which the polymeric film is removed.

Filtering membranes on the basis of welded polymer structures and method for manufacture thereof

InactiveUS6773590B2Controlled distributionShort filtration pathSemi-permeable membranesMembranesSingle stageEngineering
The filtering membranes of the present invention are made from a pair of polymer films stretched in a liquid surface-active medium for the formation of crazes filled with the aforementioned medium. The crazed films are perforated and then stack together in a stretched or released state and are welded together into a sealed structure with a plurality of parallel welding seams arranged, e.g., in mutually perpendicular directions, so that a plurality of sealed cells is formed. The cells have on one side of the membrane input openings and on the other side output openings. If an input opening is in one cell, then an output opening is in the adjacent cell. Adjacent cells are interconnected only through the welding seams. Welding can be carried out by contact heating or with the use of a laser beam, or the like. The material of the welding seam has an amorphous structure. The substance captured inside the crazes may comprise a dispersion medium used for fixing dimensions of the crazes or a substance for treating the fluid being filtered. In operation, the medium to be filtered diffuses from the input cells to the output cells of the membrane through the material of the welding seams. Filtering is enhanced if the material of the seams has aforementioned crazes. In such a membrane, the total length of the welding seams on the area of 1 m<2 >may reach several hundred thousand meters. The membrane possesses selectivity sufficient for separation of two or multiple-component mixtures in a single-stage process. Depending on the method used for preparation of the polymer-film surface prior to welding, the membrane filter may have efficiency from 5 to 40,000 kg / m<2>xD.

Forming integrated circuits using selective deposition of undoped silicon film seeded in chlorine and hydride gas

A polysilicon film is formed with enhanced selectivity by flowing chlorine during the formation of the film. The chlorine acts as an etchant to insulative areas adjacent polysilicon structures on which the film is desired to be formed. Bottom electrodes for capacitors are formed using this process, followed by an anneal to create hemishperical grain (HSG) polysilicon. Multilayer capacitor containers are formed in a non-oxidizing ambient so that no oxide is formed between the layers. The structure formed is planarized to form separate containers made from doped and undoped amorphous silicon layers. Selected ones of undoped layers are seeded in a chlorine containing environment and annealed to form HSG. A dielectric layer and second electrode are formed to complete the cell capacitor.
