A method of growing a nitride semiconductor crystal which has very few crystal defects and can be used as a substrate is disclosed. This invention includes the step of forming a first selective growth mask on a support member including a dissimilar substrate having a major surface and made of a material different from a nitride semiconductor, the first selective growth mask having a plurality of first windows for selectively exposing the upper surface of the support member, and the step of growing nitride semiconductor portions from the upper surface, of the support member, which is exposed from the windows, by using a gaseous Group 3 element source and a gaseous nitrogen source, until the nitride semiconductor portions grown in the adjacent windows combine with each other on the upper surface of the selective growth mask.

A tank contains both Zeolite and a hydrate in a gas chamber formed beneath a piston in the sample tank. Out of safety considerations, we avoid using source cylinders of nitrogen whose pressures exceed 4000 psi. Thus, the gas chamber of the sample tank is initially pressurized by the source cylinder to no more than 4000 psi of nitrogen at room temperature at the surface. Nitrogen gas is sorbed onto the zeolite at room temperature. As the tank is heated by being lowered downhole, nitrogen desorbs from the zeolite and the gas pressure increases. However, once this tank reaches a temperature high enough to release the hydrate's water of hydration, the released water is preferentially sorbed by zeolite, displacing sorbed nitrogen, and causing the pressure in the gas volume to increase even further. Because well temperatures are not high enough to desorb water from zeolite, any water sorbed onto a Zeolite sorption site will permanently block released nitrogen from resorbing at that site. The process of lowering the tank downhole provides the necessary heating to make the entire process occur. Thus, if returned to the surface at room temperature with the original gas-chamber volume, the tank's pressure would not fall back to the original pressure (e.g., 4000 psi) but would be at a substantially higher pressure (e.g., 6000 psi or more depending on the amount of Zeolite used and gaseous nitrogen gas released).

A rinsing liquid adheres to a substrate subjected to a cleaning process. The rinsing liquid on the substrate is first replaced with IPA liquid. While the substrate covered with the IPA liquid is held in a dryer chamber, liquid carbon dioxide is supplied to the surface of the substrate. Liquid nitrogen is supplied to cool down the interior of the dryer chamber. This solidifies the liquid carbon dioxide on the substrate into solid carbon dioxide. Thereafter, the pressure in the dryer chamber is returned to atmospheric pressure, and gaseous nitrogen is supplied into the dryer chamber. Thus, the temperature in the dryer chamber increases. The solid carbon dioxide on the surface of the substrate is sublimated, and is hence removed from the substrate. All of the steps are performed while carbon dioxide is not in a supercritical state but in a non-supercritical state.

Cleaning and drying of semiconductor wafers is carried out in a single-chamber type cleaning / drying apparatus for flat objects such as semiconductor wafer, where cleaning is carried out by impinging both sides of the wafer which rotates at a relatively low speed with jets of a washing liquid and where subsequent drying is carried out in the same chamber by increasing the rotation speed of the wafer and supplying an isopropyl-alcohol (IPA) mist onto the wafer from the top of the chamber. After the IPA forms a solution with the residue of water on the wafer, the drying process is accelerated by supplying gaseous nitrogen through nozzles arranged on both side of the coaxial with the wafer center. As a result, the IPA-water solution quickly evaporates without leaving traces of water drops on the dried surface.

The invention relates to enrichment of a low temperature-resistant heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic / anoxic denitrification microbial agent and application thereof in wastewater treatment under an anoxic condition. The microbial agent is capable of realizing simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in an aerobic or anoxic environment, in the presence of both ammonia nitrogen and nitrate, with sodium acetate as a unique organic carbon source under a 10 DEG C low-temperature condition; therefore, inorganic nitrogen in wastewater is transformed into gaseous nitrogen and removal of total nitrogen is realized. The low temperature-resistant microbial agent thoroughly realizes maintenance and stabilization of activity of aerobic nitrification and heterotrophic denitrification bacteria under the low-temperature condition, and also has a very high total nitrogen removal rate under an anoxic condition. Besides, the heterotrophic microbial agent grows quickly and lays a good foundation for quick amplification and actual application. When applied to practical town sewage treatment, the microbial agent is capable of efficiently removing total nitrogen in the low-temperature environment under the single anoxic condition; and therefore, the problem that a traditional treating plant hardly reaches the national class A emission standard of total nitrogen in winter is solved and the utilization potentiality of the microbial agent is huge.

A seal device is constituted of a plurality of seal tubes. After a connected-tube body having base members disposed at a fore end and a rear end is inserted into a fluid passage such as a tubular member, the seal tubes are expanded by injecting gaseous nitrogen into each of the seal tubes. The intermediate portions of the seal tubes along a longitudinal direction are press-fitted to the inner surface of the fluid passage over the entire circumference thereof, whereby the fluid passage is sealed. Since the connected-tube body is easily bent in the vicinity of a connecting base member between the tubes, the connected-tube body can be easily curved along the fluid passage, thus facilitating an operation for inserting the connected-tube body into the fluid passage and also enhancing a sealing property with respect to the fluid passage.

A method for forming a gate dielectric layer is described. A silicon oxide layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. Then, a first and a second nitrogen doping processes are performed in sequence to the silicon oxide layer using plasma comprising inert gas and gaseous nitrogen to form a gate dielectric layer. The first nitrogen doping process is performed at a lower power, a lower pressure and a higher inert gas to nitrogen gas ratio than those at the second nitrogen doping process. The combination of the deeper nitrogen distribution of the first nitrogen doping process and the shallower nitrogen distribution of the second nitrogen doping process produces a flatter total nitrogen distribution profile so that leakage current from electron tunneling through the gate dielectric layer can be reduced.

A friction-reducing additive composition that contains a polymeric mixture containing (a) a first polymeric friction reducer that comprises an anionic friction reducer having a molecular weight above 15 million and (b) a second polymeric friction reducer that is either a nonionic or an amphoteric friction reducer.

Pressurized gaseous nitrogen (“GAN”) is produced in a process in which liquid nitrogen (“LIN”) is produced in a cryogenic air separation unit (“ASU”). The pressure of at least a portion of the LIN is increased to produce pressurized LIN. A fluid having an oxygen concentration at least equal to that of air is separated in an auxiliary cryogenic distillation column to produce nitrogen-rich overhead vapor and oxygen-enriched bottoms liquid. Heat and optionally mass is transferred between at least a portion of the nitrogen-rich overhead vapor and at least a portion of the pressurized LIN to produce nitrogen-rich liquid and pressurized GAN. At least a portion of said nitrogen-rich liquid is used as reflux to the ASU after suitable pressure adjustment. Such a process allows the production of high purity GAN without the loss of oxygen recovery typically observed in conventional pumped LIN cycles.

A detection system for detecting contaminant gases includes a converter, a detector, a primary channel for delivering a target gas sample through the converter to the detector, and at least two scrubbing channels for delivering a reference gas sample through the converter to the detector. Each of the scrubbing channels includes a scrubber for removing basic nitrogen compounds from the reference gas sample, while the primary channel preferably transmits the target gas sample without scrubbing. The converter converts gaseous nitrogen compounds in the target gas sample to an indicator gas, such as nitric oxide (NO), and a control system directs the flow of a gas sample among the primary channel and the scrubbing channels. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the basic-nitrogen-compound concentration can be measured by comparing the concentration of the indicator gas detected in the reference sample with the detected indicator-gas concentration in the target sample. The use of multiple scrubbing channels enables the detection to operate continuously since each scrubber can be alternately purged while another is scrubbing.

Nitrogen cryogen sequentially passes through a first level heat exchanger, a second level heat exchanger, a third level heat exchanger and a subcooler for cooling after being compressed and cooled, the nitrogen cryogen after throttling enters an overhead condenser to output cold quantity, and then the gaseous nitrogen cryogen sequentially passes through the subcooler, the third level heat exchanger, the second level heat exchanger, and the first level heat exchanger, the gaseous nitrogen cryogen is warmed gradually to normal temperature, and then flows back to a nitrogen compressor for being circularly used. The mixing cryogen process is used for controlling evaporation capacity at the bottom of a tower, the nitrogen cryogen process is used for controlling condensation capacity at the top of the tower, and independently adjusting purity coefficient and yield coefficient of natural gas products is achieved. The cryogen in a low temperature region only possesses a nitrogen component, and heavy components of isobutane, isopentane and the like do not exist in the low temperature region, and therefore the problems of being free of refrigeration in the process of throttling, or congestion of a cryogen channel are solved.
