Methods of wafer-to-wafer bonding are disclosed. These methods use a force-transposing substrate providing redistribution of the applied force to the local bonding areas across the wafer. Certain versions of the Present Invention also provide a compliant force-distributing member along with applying bonding material to bonding areas in select locations. A predetermined sequence of external force loading and temperature steps ensure creating bonds between the wafers in the bonding areas. The disclosed methods improve wafer bonding, by increasing its uniformity and strength across the wafer, increasing both reproducibility and yield process and decreasing cost of semiconductor and MEMS devices.

Abstract:

This invention reports a drug for hyperphospheremia and its preparative method. The preparation includes active constituents, lanthanum polystyrene sulfonate, and excipients. The preparative method in the invention can be summarized as follows: Polystyrene sulfonic acid is obtained by treating polystyrene sulfosalt with hydrochloric acid, soaked or eluted with water soluble lanthanum-contained solution, and washed with water till its PH is neutral. Then, the lanthanum polystyrene sulfonate solution is washed till the superfluous La- unexchanged is washed out. Lanthanum polystyrene sulfonate is taken out and crushed to powder after being dried. The lanthanum polystyrene sulfonate, whose weight percentage of lanthanum is 14-22%, is used as active constituents to prepare gastrointestinal tract preparations together with general amount of excipients with routine preparative method.

In the invention, lanthanum polystyrene sulfonate is adopted as active constituents, mixed with excipients, and the preparation is obtained. It makes phosphate in alimentary tract become insoluble conjugates after gastrointestinal tract administration. The insoluble conjugates would be discharged. Thus, the drug can achieve the purpose of treating hyperphospheremia.

Title: High-cleaning silica materials and dentifrice containing such

Applicant/Assignee: J.M. HUBER CORPORATION

Application No.: 10/996538   Filing Date: 24/Nov/2004

Abstract:

Unique abrasive and/or thickening materials that are in situ generated compositions of precipitated silicas and silica gels are provided. Such compositions exhibit different beneficial characteristics depending on the structure of the composite in situ generated material. With low structured composites (as measured via linseed oil absorption levels from 40 to 100 ml oil absorbed/100 g composite), simultaneously high pellicle film cleaning properties and moderate dentin abrasion levels are possible in order to accord the user a dentifrice that effectively cleans tooth surfaces without detrimentally abrading such surfaces. Increased amounts of high structure composite materials tend to accord greater viscosity build and thickening benefits together with such desirable abrasion and cleaning properties, albeit to a lesser extent than for the low structure types.

Thus, mid-range cleaning materials will exhibit oil absorption levels from an excess of 100 to 150, and high thickening/low abrasion composite exhibit oil absorption properties in excess of 150. Such an in situ, simultaneously produced precipitated silica/silica gel combination provides such unexpectedly effective low abrasion and high cleaning capability and different thickening characteristics as compared to physical mixtures of such components. Encompassed within this invention is a unique method for making such gel/precipitated silica composite materials for such a purpose, as well as the different materials within the structure ranges described above and dentifrices comprising such.

We discovered that this step avoids problems associated with conformational transitions of fibroin during solubilization and reprocessing from aqueous solution which lead to embrittled materials. Moreover, the process avoids the use of organic solvents that can pose problems when the processed biomaterials are exposed to cells in vitro or in vivo.

Applicant/Assignee: THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION,INC

Application No.: 11/865302   Filing Date: 01/Oct/2007

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for detection of ligand-cell membrane protein binding by solid state NMR spectroscopy. The method starts by forming a lipid bilayer inside nanopores of an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) substrate, the lipid bilayer containing a membrane protein sample. The AAO substrate is treated with multiple candidate ligands having potential binding affinity for the membrane protein. Solid-state NMR analysis is performed on the treated AAO/lipid preparation so as to generate an NMR spectrum for the treated membrane protein. The solid-state NMR spectrum of the treated membrane protein is compared with the spectrum of the same preparation of membrane protein in the absence of the ligands. It is then determined whether the solid-state NMR spectrum of the treated membrane protein has shifted from the NMR spectrum of the untreated membrane protein, a shift being indicative of protein binding by the candidate ligand.

Abstract:

Sharps are introduced into an apparatus for contacting the sharps with an electrolyte containing the oxidized form of one or more reversible redox couples, at least one of which is produced electrochemically by anodic oxidation at the anode of an electrochemical cell. The oxidized forms of any other redox couples present are produced either by similar anodic oxidation or reaction with the oxidized form of other redox couples present and capable of affecting the required redox reaction. The oxidized species of the redox couples oxidize sharps and the biological waste on the sharps and are themselves converted to their reduced form, whereupon they are reoxidized by either of the aforementioned mechanisms and the redox cycle continues until all oxidizable waste species, including intermediate reaction products, have undergone the desired degree of oxidation.

The entire process takes place at temperatures between ambient and approximately 100 DEG C. The oxidation process will be enhanced by the addition of reaction enhancements, such as: ultrasonic energy and/or ultraviolet radiation.

Title: Semiconductor Device Including a Coupled Dielectric Layer and Metal Layer, Method of Fabrication Thereof, and Material for Coupling a Dielectric Layer and a Metal Layer in a Semiconductor Device

Applicant/Assignee: NXP B.V

Application No.: 12/065179   Filing Date: 01/Sep/2006

Abstract:

A passivating coupling material for, on the one hand, passivating a dielectric layer in a semiconductor device, and on the other hand, for permitting or at least promoting liquid phase metal deposition thereon in a subsequent process step. In a particular example, the dielectric layer may be a porous material having a desirably decreased dielectric constant k, and the passivating coupling material provides steric shielding groups that substantially block the adsorption and uptake of ambient moisture into the porous dielectric layer. The passivating coupling materials also provides metal nucleation sides for promoting the deposition of a metal thereon in liquid phase, in comparison with metal deposition without the presence of the passivating coupling material. The use of a liquid phase metal deposition process facilitates the subsequent manufacture of the semiconductor device.

In one example, the passivating coupling material has multiple Si atoms in its chemical composition, which desirably increases the thermal stability of the material.

Title: Repairing damage to low-k dielectric materials using silylating agents

Applicant/Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC

Application No.: 10/940682   Filing Date: 15/Sep/2004

Abstract:

A method for restoring hydrophobicity to the surfaces of organosilicate glass dielectric films which have been subjected to an etchant or ashing treatment. These films are used as insulating materials in the manufacture of integrated circuits to ensure low and stable dielectric properties in these films. The method deters the formation of stress-induced voids in these films. An organosilicate glass dielectric film is patterned to form vias and trenches by subjecting it to an etchant or ashing reagent in such a way as to remove at least a portion of previously existing carbon containing moieties and reduce hydrophobicity of said organosilicate glass dielectric film. The vias and trenches are thereafter filled with a metal and subjected to an annealing treatment.

After the film is subjected to the etchant or ashing reagent, but before being subjected to an annealing treatment, the film is contacted with a toughening agent composition to restore some of the carbon containing moieties and increase the hydrophobicity of the organosilicate glass dielectric film.

Title: Coating composition

Applicant/Assignee: NUPLEX RESINS B.V

Application No.: 10/554330   Filing Date: 23/Apr/2004

Abstract:

The invention relates to a high gloss car wash-resistant coating composition comprising a hydroxyl-functional binder and a cross-linker reactive with the hydroxyl groups of the binder and a method to prepare such a car wash-resistant coating. The invention further relates to the use of said coating composition, as a pigment-free top coat or a clear coat, in the finishing and refinishing of articles, for example motorcycles, cars, trains, buses, trucks, and aeroplanes. The coating composition after curing forms a coating having an initial gloss of at least 81 GU and a loss of gloss (LoG) of less than 0.18, the loss of gloss being determined by the formula (I): LoG=A+BË'(X)-110(C[Delta]Tg)+D(E')-0.5

wherein A=0.0132, B=1.0197, C=0.0113, and D=0.0566, E' reflects the tensile storage modulus at 40 DEG C. in GPa, [Delta]Tg the width of the glass transition temperature in DEG C., and X the cross-link density parameter in kPA/K all three parameters determined in a DMTA test at 11 Hz and a heating rate of 5 DEG C./min.
