Appl. No.:

10/370781

Inventors:

Sudhakar Balijepalli - Midland MI, US
Dale J. Aldrich - Lake Jackson TX, US
Laura A. Grier - Brazoria TX, US

Assignee:

Dow Global Technologies, Inc. - Midland MI

International Classification:

B24B001/00

US Classification:

451 41, 451 56, 451443, 51395

Abstract:

Provided are materials and methods for the chemical mechanical planarization of material layers such as oxide or metal formed on semiconductor substrates during the manufacture of semiconductor devices using a fixed abrasive planarization pad having an open cell foam structure from which free abrasive particles are produced by conditioning and combined with a carrier liquid to form an in situ slurry on the polishing surface of the planarization pad that, in combination with relative motion between the semiconductor substrate and the planarization pad, tends to remove the material layer from the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Depending on the composition of the material layer, the rate of material removal from the semiconductor substrate may be controlled by manipulating the pH or the oxidizer content of the carrier liquid.

International Classification:

B24B001/00

US Classification:

451 41, 451 57

Abstract:

Provided are materials and methods for the chemical mechanical planarization of material layers using a down force of less than about 2. 5 psi while maintaining a material removal rate generally similar to that obtained using higher down forces while simultaneously improving the selectivity of the process with respect to a primary material formed over a barrier material. The materials and methods disclosed herein are suitable for use in meatallization operations during semiconductor device fabrication, in particular in processes in which the primary material is a softer metal such as copper and the barrier material is a harder material such as a metal nitride.

US Classification:

528 85, 528 745

Abstract:

Insulated glass units are sealed with polyurethane made using a natural oil-based polyol (NOBP). In one embodiment the NOBP is made using a monol-rich monomer containing high levels of mono-hydroxy functional fatty acid methyl esters. Insulated glass sealants based on these compounds provide enhanced resistance to UV and oxidative degradation as compared to conventional products while still providing the required barrier and mechanical properties.

International Classification:

C08J 904
B05D 726

US Classification:

521126

Abstract:

Novel catalyst compositions comprising complexes of tin(IV) salts and amine compounds are used to prepare polyurethanes, polyureas, polycarbodiimides and polyisocyanurates. The complexes, which preferably employ primary amines, allow delay of gelation until they dissociate under certain reaction conditions. The complexes can be prepared neat or in situ in an active hydrogen containing formulation component. The complexes serve to delay gelation of the formulation because they can be prepared to be relatively stable to moisture and will predictably dissociate upon heating, either as a result of the exothermic nature of the reaction being catalyzed or with application of an external heat source. The catalyst compositions are particularly useful for preparation of carpet underlay and in other applications requiring significant delay prior to gelation.

Abstract:

A polyurethane glass sealant is made by reacting a poly(1,2-butylene oxide) polymer with a chain extender and a polyisocyanate. The poly(1,2-butylene oxide) polymer may be used as a mixture with up to 50% by weight of other polyols, including castor oil. The sealant is especially useful as a secondary sealant for an insulated glass unit (IGU).
