BNF Abstract ForMore InformationvisiC http://w~w.etsevier, com/inca/publications/store/6/7/6/9/4/3/ ,J Circle 106 on reader information card or go to www.thru.to/webconnect device based upon a time-divisional process gas supply in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, where the process gases are supplied and purged sequentially, and additionally plasma is gen- erated in synchronization with the cycle of pulsing reactant gases. A method of forming thin films that possess a property of gradient composition profile is also disclosed. DEPOSITION OF COPPER FILMS US. 2004009665 (Applied Materials Inc.) Chang, M.; Chen, L. et al. A method of forming a copper film on a substrate by a cyclical deposition technique by alternately adsorbing a copper-containing precursor and a reducing gas on a substrate. The copper film formation is compat- ible with integrated circuit fabri- cation processes. In one integrat- ed circuit fabrication process, the copper film may be used as inter- connect metallization. METHOD OF REMOVING POLYMER AND APPARATUS FOB DOING THE SAME US. 2004009669 (NEC Electronics Corp.) Ohno, H.; Sonoda, H. et aI. Stripping a polymer adhered to a sidewall of an etched metal layer formed on a substrate, includes (a) dissolving the polymer by pro- viding chemicals onto a surface of the substrate, and (b) rinsing the chemicals out of the substrate by providing pure water onto a sur- face of the substrate, wherein at least a part of the step (a) is car- ried out in oxidation atmosphere. DISCOLORATION INHIBITOR FOR METALS U.S. 2004010065 Kohara, N.; Tsurumi, H. Discoloration inhibitor for met- als, for protecting metal artifacts, such as those made of silver, cop- per, and nickel, or their alloys, from tarnishing due to sulfur-con- taining gases such as sulfur oxide (SOX), mercaptans, and hydrogen sulfide, for example, during dis- play or storage of the metal arti- facts. A discoloration inhibitor for metals compris- ing: a fiber having a crosslinking structure and containing carboxyl groups therein, at least part of said carboxyl groups being present as a salt of an alkali metal, an alkali earth metal or ammonia; and fine particles of a metal and/or a metal compound substantially insoluble in water and reactive with a sulfur-containing compound dispersed in said fiber is disclosed. METHOD OF PRODUCING SPRAY DEPOSIT ON BEARING BOSS U.S. 6678956 (Hitachi Construction Machinery) Idetsu, W.; Suzuki, R. et al. Masking means prior to thermal spraying. 86 Metal Finishing
