The invention relates generally to novel thermostable composites and related intermediates as well as methods for use of the same, more particularly to the use of these novel thermostable composites and intermediates in the fabrication of semiconductor devices. The composites comprise perylene diimide and a silsesquioxane and are made from perylene anhydride and an aminosilane.
The fabrication of integrated circuits depends upon the construction of a desired pattern of electrically active impurities within a semiconductor body, and upon the formation of a corresponding interconnection pattern for their operating characteristics.
It is an object of the invention to provide a thermostable composite capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 500� C.
The above process may also be performed utilizing aminopropyltriethoxysilane. In addition, the process may contain the additional step of adding from 0.05 to 0.15% by weight of water to the aminosilane 1 to 2 hours before mixing with the perylene dianhydride. The mixture of the perylene dianhydride and aminosilane may also be aged prior to heating. By "aged" is meant that the perylene dianhydride and the aminosilane are allowed to remain in contact for some period of time at ambient temperature. Furthermore, in the heating of said reactants, the temperature may be increased from room temperature to a range of 100�0 C. to 200� C., preferably to approximately 150� C. along with the additional step of curing at a temperature between 500� C. and 620� C.
The invention also relates to an N,N' disubstituted perylene diamide of formula ##STR3## wherein n is an integer from three to eight and R is the same or different residues chosen from the group consisting of hydroxy, lower alkoxy, phenoxy and the residue of a silsesquioxane polymer.
FIG. 1 is a graph of the weight of Accuglass SQ-2 as a function of time and temperature.
The present invention relates to a novel thermostable composite which is believed to comprise a perylene diimide and an alkyl poly(silsesquioxane) having the formula of: ##STR4##
Generally, the steps involved in making the intermediate of Formula II are those listed above. However, it has been discovered that in some cases superior spin-on coatings may be achieved by performing additional steps during the preparation of certain intermediates of formula II, an example being the intermediates created from aminopropyl-triethoxysilane in an NMP solvent. For such intermediates it is advantageous to equilibrate the aminoalkyl alkoxysilane with a small amount of water, from 0.5 to about 1.5 μl H2 O per ml of alkoxysilane, with about one 1μ/ml being preferred. Excess water (greater than 2 μl/ml) tends to create spin irregularities as well as cause the film to crack whereas excess of certain aminoalkyl alkoxysilanes, such as aminopropyltriethoxysilane, may cause dewets on apply or pinholes in the coatings. It is similarly advantageous to age this solution for approximately one to two hours prior to addition of the AAS to the perylene dianhydride solution or suspension. It has been discovered that aging the aqueous solution appears to produce a film that is less likely to haze or dewet.
After applying the intermediate solution of formula II to the semiconductor substrate it may be cured by subjecting the coated substrate to heat. It is preferred that the cure profile proceed from room temperature and be increased in a ramp in order to reduce the possibility of developing cracks in the film or coating. The spin-on coating may, thus, be heated from approximately 15� C. to a final temperature of about 150� C. over the course of 10 to 30 minutes. It is believed that the compound of formula III is produced at the end of the initial curing which occurs during the ramped heating. After the ramped heating the coating may thereafter be cured at temperatures from 500� C. to 620� C. in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen. Films of formula IV, thermally cured to 400� C. still appear bright red; after 600� C. the films of formula V appear gray. The length of time necessary to cure the coating will depend upon the temperatures used, the thickness of the coating and other conditions well known to one skilled in the art. For a typical semiconductor substrate film of about 1 micron thickness, curing times of approximately 30 minutes at 500� C. in a nitrogen atmosphere will be sufficient to adequately cure the coating, thereby forming the thermostable composite of formula V. It is believed that, in curing, the mixed amide/salt intermediate of formula II is initially converted to the diamide of formula III and then to the perylene imide of formula IV and finally to the composite of perylene diimide and silsesquioxane accompanied by pyrrolytic decomposition of the aminoalkyl residue on the silicon. Due to potential outgassing from the composite it is preferred that the intermediate of Formula II or compounds of formula III or IV be cured at a temperature greater than the temperatures involved in later fabrication steps to which the cured compound of Formula V will be exposed. For example, if the cured compound will be exposed to the subsequent deposition of polysilicon at a temperature of 590� C. then the intermediate of Formula II or compounds of formula III or IV may be cured at a temperature of 620� C.
FIG. 1 represents data obtained from the testing of a spin-on glass (SOG) commonly used in the IC fabrication processes, namely Accuglass SQ-2™ which is commercially available through Allied Signal. This SOG was subjected to temperatures in excess of 500� C. and as can be seen, it experienced extensive decomposition at temperatures over 500� C. However, by reviewing FIG. 2 it can be seen that the coatings of the present invention, here coatings formed in accordance with Example 1 below, form a thermostable composite above 500� C. and experience significantly less decomposition at temperatures exceeding 500� C.
This spin-on film may be utilized in connection with application of materials or other processes which subject the semiconductor precursor to temperatures in excess of 500� C. An example being the deposition of N+ polysilicon which is typically deposited at temperatures in excess of 500� C.
Perylene dianhydride (20.2g, 0.0515 mol) is introduced into a 250 mL polyethylene bottle and suspended in 100 mL dry NMP. Aminopropyl triethoxysilane (45 mL, 0.1914 mol) is added to the mixture and the solution is stirred overnight. The foamy product settles into a deep red/brown solution, which can be warmed to 80� C. to insure uniformity. The resulting solution formed good spin on films when high torque (4000 rpm) and low spin times (10-15 sec.) were employed. After heating, the oligomeric composition (probably diamide) favored good planarization and gap filling, and thermal testing demonstrated high temperature stability of the composite, see FIG. 2. The cured films contained considerable silicon-oxygen functionality and were resistant to oxygen RIE. However, the coatings were readily etchable using CF4 /O2 (20:80) RIE conditions.
Ten milliliters of aminopropyltriethoxysilane and 3.92g of perylene dianhydride were added to 20 mLs of NMP to form a solution. This solution was spin applied to silicon wafers, metalized wafers and patterned wafers at 500 RPMs for 7 seconds, 1000 RPMs for 7 seconds, and 3000 RPMs for 30 seconds. Thereafter it was baked at 105�-115�-125�-135�-150�-150�-150� C. for a total of 10 minutes and cured at 500� C. for 30 minutes in nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting films on the respective wafers were tested and the results obtained were:
etch rate at 20:80 CF4 /O2 was approximately 5000Å /min and the etch rate at 100% O2 was approximately 33Å /min as can be seen in FIG. 4.
1μ thick post 500� C.;
Chemical Mechanical Polishing rates varied from 12,500Å /min. to 1300Å /min. depending on the slurry selected whereas the CMP rate of SiNx under the same conditions was approximately 40-50Å /min;
Perylene dianhydride, aminopropyltriethoxysilane (A1100), NMP and water were combined in a plastic bottle, in the amounts indicated in the chart below, and then mixed on a roller mill overnight. Thereafter, the solutions were applied to a semiconductor substrate via spin-on techniques, heated as in Example 2, and cured at 563� C. for 30 minutes in a N2 atmosphere. The results were as follows:

A1100 is placed in a plastic bottle along with a specified amount of water; it is then equilibrated by placing the bottle on a roller mill for approximately 1 hour. Thereafter, perylene dianhydride, NMP and the equilibrated aminopropyltriethoxysilane (A1100) were combined in a separate plastic bottle and mixed on a roller mill overnight. The solution was applied to a substrate in accordance with the conditions stated above in respect to Example 3. The component ratios used in the individual runs and the results of these trials are indicated in the chart below.

A solution is formed by mixing 3.02g (0.007704 moles) of perylene dianhydride, 15.4 ml NMP and 7.24 ml (0.03081 moles) of A1100. The solution is heated to a temperature of 50� C. for a period of 12 hours and thereafter applied to a semiconductor substrate and cured in accordance with the techniques of Example #3 above. Good films were produced under this process.
A solution was similarly formed using the same material and ratios as Example 5 above except that the amount of (aminoethylaminomethyl) phenethyltrimethoxysilane (A0698) added was 6 ml. Unreacted anhydride remained after having been on the roller mill overnight. Then 4.7 ml of A1100 and 5ml NMP were added to the contents of the plastic bottle thereby forming a good solution, which was stable for approximately 5 days or more.
The compound of formula II (produced from the mixture of perylene dianhydride and A1100 in NMP) is spun onto the surface of a silicon based wafer. The compound is applied at static apply for 7 seconds, 500 RPM for 7 seconds, 1000 RPM for 7 seconds and 3000 RPM for 15 seconds. The wafer is then heated in air in a ramped fashion (105-115-125-135-150-150-150-150) to 150� C. over 10 minutes followed by heating in a N2 atmosphere furnace for 30 minutes at 620� C. Thereafter, a positive photoresist is applied to the wafer and baked. Selected portions of the photoresist are then exposed on a G-line stepper. KOH is used to develop the photoresist by exposing the desired portions of the compound of formula V. These exposed portions are then etched in 80:20 O2 /CF4 for 4 minutes thereby forming a patterned layer of the compound of formula V. Examples of such patterned wafers can be seen in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8. The remaining photoresist is then stripped by application of N-butyl acetate and isopropyl alcohol (NBA/IPA 3 minutes/3 minutes). Thereafter, a 950Å layer of polysilicon is deposited upon the wafer at 590� C. over 10 minutes. The resulting wafers can be seen in FIGS. 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Noble Warrior: The Story of Maj. Gen. James E. Livingston, USMC (Ret.), Medal of Honor 4.5 out of 5 based on 0 ratings.
As a Marine, Maj. Gen. Livingston is a living legend. I was able to meet bhim at the B&N in Jacksonvill when he and his coauthors did a booksigning. I attended every booksigning I could for all the books Heatn and Lewis signed at various noccasions. Noble Warrior is right up there with Col. Wes Fox's books, and is in the same plane of narratives with Chesty Puller and Dan Daley. The gruesome battle at Dai Do is told so well by the general, if someone read this to you, you could close your eyes and feel, hear and smell the battle. The best part of the book are the many comments from other Marines who served. The general did not write an "I was there and did this" book. Instead he wrote a "we were there and my men did that" kind of book. This shows that he was (and is) a real leader, taking no personal credit for his actions, but aising his men for their accomplishements in the face of massive, well trained and quite determined enemy. I was impressed with the great collection of former generals and commandants who wrote forewords, supporting the general. If you are a Marine, you must read this book to round out your professional development. If you are an American, you should read this book and see what your feollw citizens have done to give you the freedoms that we, as a collective, often take for granted. The tactical wizardry employed by Weise, Vargas, Livingston and their men combined with their courage under intense fire is chilling, real, and worthy of praise. The general even predicted many of the issues regarding foreign policy in the book written a few years ago, that have proven true today. His insights and experience have been passed on to us. It is our job to make sure future generations learn from his and his Marines' examples. MJRLONDON

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is a brake lever for automobile vehicle safety brake mechanisms, which is particularly applicable to hand-operated safety brake mechanisms.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is widely known, automobile safety brake mechanisms which can be operated by hand basically comprise the following known parts: a brake lever coupled by means of a pivot pin to a support fixed to the structure of the vehicle, in such a way that said coupling allows the user to rotate the brake lever in both directions between two preset positions, a rest position and a braking position, respectively, while the brake lever includes means for fixing the corresponding end of the steel cable of the control cable which links the brake mechanism with the brake shoe or brake caliper actuating mechanism; a ratchet which includes a lever, or ratchet lever, coupled by means of a pivot pin to the brake lever in such a way that said coupling permits rotation of the ratchet lever in both directions between two preset positions, a rest position and a braking position of the brake lever, respectively; and a ratchet-control device which, coupled to the brake lever, can be operated manually and acts upon the ratchet lever, and more specifically upon its power arm.
In general, on the brake lever the power arm has a substantially elbowed configuration in which two portions can be distinguished, a front or handgrip portion and a rear portion, respectively, the resistance arm consisting in a prolongation of said rear portion of the power arm. The ratchet-control device is mounted on the power arm and on the handgrip, while the rear portion is fitted with the ratchet and the means for securing the end of the steel cable of the control cable, and the resisting arm includes guiding means for the end portion of the steel cable.
It is usual practice for the brake lever to be made up of two metal plates which are to a certain extent symmetrical to each other, which plates when attached to each other form the brake lever as such on which the aforesaid parts are mounted: the ratchet; the ratchet-control device; the means for fixing the end of the steel cable of the control cable; and the guiding means for the end portion of the steel cable.
The fact that the brake lever is made up of two plates which can be coupled together, and the fact that other pieces are required for attaching the plates to each other, means high factory production and assembly costs which notably increase the cost of the safety brake mechanism.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A brake lever of new structure and operation for automobile vehicle safety brake mechanisms is made known hereby in order to provide a solution for the high cost of the known embodiments of brake levers such as those described above which have a structure of two plates which can be attached to each other.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The figures of the drawing sheets show two modes =of embodiment of the brake lever for automobile vehicle safety brake mechanisms of the invention: a first mode is shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, and a second mode is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. For the purposes of greater clarity of outline, the figures of the drawing sheets for both embodiments omit showing the following parts, because they are known in the art: a support fixed to the structure of the vehicle for attachment of the brake lever; a ratchet for fixing the position of the brake lever; and a ratchet control device, together with those other parts, such as stops, bolts, springs, etc., which do not form part of the invention but can be attached to the brake lever of the invention. Moreover, both examples of embodiment of the brake lever of the invention are given solely by way of non-restrictive example, for it is understood that the brake lever can adopt any other configuration which, being designed for each specific case of application, does not affect the essential nature of the invention.
The brake lever of the invention is single-piece and is obtained by injection of plastic material of suitable mechanical characteristics.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show how the brake lever comprises a power arm 1 of generally elbowed shape on which there can be distinguished a front or handgrip portion 2 and a rear portion 3. The handgrip 2 has a longitudinal cavity 4 having a cross section of quadrangular outline open at both its ends, the front end 5 and rear end 6 respectively, so dimensioned that it can receive a ratchet-control device (not shown). FIGS. 3 and 4 show how the rear portion 3 is generally U-shaped and forms two plates, first 7 and second 8 respectively, which are symmetrical to each other and linked by a back 9 which forms the longitudinal cavity 4, while both first 7 and second 8 plates run parallel to each other at a relatively short distance apart. Each one of the plates, first 7 and second 8, is prolonged longitudinally to form two resistance arms, first 10 and second 11 respectively, which are symmetrical to each other. FIGS. 1 and 2 show how on the linkage between the first plate 7 and the first resistance arm 10 there is a transverse structural reinforcement rib 12, and likewise, on the linkage of the second plate 8 and the second resistance arm 11 there is a transverse structural reinforcement rib 13. For the coupling of the brake lever to a support fixed to the structure of the vehicle (not shown) FIG. 1 shows how in the linkage between the first plate 7 and the resistance arm 10 there is a through-orifice 14 having to the exterior a reinforcing lip 15 which links with the transverse rib 12. Similarly, FIG. 2 shows how in the linkage between the second plate 8 and the second resistance arm 11 there is a through-orifice 16 facing the through-orifice 14 having to the exterior a reinforcing lip 17 which links with the transverse rib 13, with the pivot pin of the lever forming the longitudinal axis of both orifices 14, 16.
FIG. 1 shows how for the attachment of a ratchet to the brake lever, the first plate 7 has a through-orifice 18 having to the exterior a reinforcing perimetric lip 19. Similarly, FIG. 2 shows how for said coupling the second plate 8 has, facing the through-orifice 18, a through-orifice 20 having to the exterior a perimetric reinforcing lip 21.
FIG. 1 shows an end portion 22 of the steel cable of the control cable which links the brake lever of the invention with the actuating mechanism of the brake shoes or calipers (not shown); said end portion 22 has on its end 23 a terminal 24, shown schematically, which can adopt any other suitable configuration without this affecting the essential nature of the invention. For the fixing of said end 23 of the steel cable to the power arm 1 of the lever, FIGS. 1, 3, 4 and 6 show how the first plate 7 has a fixing projection 25 running longitudinally and having one of its ends, the interior end 26, at a relatively short distance from the through-orifice 18 for attachment of a ratchet, while its other end, the exterior end 27, reaches the exterior end 28 of the first resistance arm 10. The fixing projection 25 has a longitudinal through-orifice 29 of quadrangular cross section, as shown in detail in FIG. 5, this longitudinal orifice 29 being of dimensions such as to receive the end portion 22 of the steel cable, and the fixing projection 25 being designed so that the terminal 24 rests on its interior end 23, as shown in FIG. 1.
FIGS. 1, 4 and 6 show how for guiding of the end portion 22 of the steel cable, the first resistance arm 10 has on its exterior end 28 a channel 30 of quadrangular cross section designed to house the end portion 22 of the steel cable, with one of the ends of the channel 30, the exterior end 31, having a mouth 45 designed to receive tangentially the end portion 22 of the steel cable, while its other end, the interior end 32, leads tangentially and in coplanar fashion into the longitudinal through-orifice 29 through an opening 33 made in the exterior end 27 of the fixing projection 25 shown in FIGS. 1 and 4.
FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 show how the first plate 7 has to the exterior, on its intermediate portion 34 between the through-orifice for attaching a ratchet and the handgrip 2, three transverse ribs 35 which run across its entire width and a perimetric lip 36, these ribs 35 and lip 36 serving as structural reinforcement for the first plate 7 in order to avoid deformation thereof under normal working conditions. Similarly, FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 show how the second plate 8 has to the exterior three transverse ribs 37 and a perimetric lip 38, both for structural reinforcement.
FIG. 1 shows how the first resistance arm 10 has to the exterior a perimetric lip 39 and two longitudinal ribs 40 which link said lip 39 with the transverse rib 12 which links with the first plate 7; the lip 39 and the ribs 40 are for structural reinforcement of the first resistance arm 10 in order to avoid deformation thereof under normal working conditions. Similarly, FIG. 2 shows how the second resistance arm 11 has to the exterior a perimetric lip 41 and two longitudinal ribs, in both cases for structural reinforcement.
FIGS. 7 and 8 show a second mode of embodiment of the brake lever of the invention, which differs from the first mode of embodiment described above solely in the structural reinforcement of the first and second resistance arms 10, 11. For the purposes of greater clarity of outline, said FIGS. 7 and 8 omit reference numbers for all the parts common to both modes of embodiment. Thus, the structural reinforcement of the first resistance arm comprises a thickened section 43 which runs between the transverse linking rib 12 and the exterior end 28.

One of the most exciting times for our clients during a kitchen remodel is selecting their countertop material at the stone yard and then seeing the fabricated pieces installed in their home. It’s one thing to fall in love with the material by itself, but seeing it in place with the rest of your remodeled kitchen is truly a thrilling experience! For this project, our clients chose a beautiful 3cm Viscount white granite with intricate, unique veining. The portion they really loved featured a large dark wave swirled across the white. Our talented fabricator was able to template the granite so that this beautiful design was on display across the peninsula. The end result is a stunning, one-of-a-kind look that really accentuates the new kitchen. Final photos by Impressia Photography.
