Abstract:
Electrical circuit patterns are adhesively bonded to a dielectric support (e.g., epoxy glass prepreg) by using a transfer laminate. The transfer laminate comprises a release coated carrier film, a metallic layer and an adhesive. After being bonded to the support, the carrier film is stripped therefrom to leave portions of the metal in the form of the conductive pathways of the circuit, adhesively bonded to the support. in fig. 1 a transfer laminate consists of a carrier film 11, a release coating 12, an adherent metal layer 13 on the other side of the release coating and an adhesive pattern 14 which is in the shape of the ultimate desired circuit pattern.
Abstract:
A pnictide film deposition apparatus characterised in that it comprises: (A) a reservoir for containing heated pnictide; (B) means for passing an inert gas therethrough; (C) a vacuum film deposition chamber; and (D) means for supplying the said inert gas carrying the said pnictide as a vapour species after passing through the said pnictide to the said deposition chamber is disclosed. A process for the vacuum deposition of pnictide film characterised in that it comprises passing an inert gas through heated pnictide and supplying the product gas to a vacuum chamber is also disclosed. Films of pnictide, polypnictide and other pnictide compounds may be deposited for semiconductor, thin film transistors and other applications including insulation and passivation, particularly on III-V semiconductors. The local order of the deposited films may be controlled by varying the amount of energy delivered to the surface of the substrate, which is a function of its temperature, the RF power used and the amount of excess Pnictide 4 supplied. Referring to the accompanying illustrative drawing, the present apparatus may comprise reservoir 70, inert gas supply 48, chamber 44 and means for pnictide vapour supply to chamber 76. The present invention represents an advance over the )rior art.

@ A film deposition apparatus characterised in that it comprises: (A) a reservoir for containing pnictide; (B) means for passing an inert gas therethrough; (C) a film desposition reaction chamber; and (D) means for supplying inert gas carrying vapour species after passing through the said pnictide to the said reaction chamber. A process for the supply of a pnictide vapour species to a film deposition process characterised in that it comprises passing an inert gas through a reservoir of heated pnictide. Referring to the accompanying illustrative diagram, there may be identified reservoir (30), means (B) may comprise tube (28), a chamber (C) is indicated at (22) and means (D) may comprise tube (60). Such a pnictide bubbler feed system may be used to supply Pnictide, species for various film deposition processes, including chemical vapour deposition, sputtering, vacuum deposition and molecular beam epitazy. Films of pnictide, polypnictide and other pnictide compounds may be deposited for semiconductor and other applications including insulation and passivation. The pnictides used may include phosphorus, arsenic and antimony. The present invention represents an advance over the prior art.
Abstract:
An artificial plant growth medium comprising minimal salts, vitamins, plant hormones, sucrose, and hardening agent at a pH between 5 to 6.5 is suitable for growth of callus, shoot tips and adventitious shoots. This medium factili- tates the production of sunflower callus, multiple sunflower shoot tips and adventitious sunflower shoots. Methods of propagation of sunflower plants and plants and seed produced by these methods are also described.
Abstract:
Racemates of optically active amino acids substituted at the carbonyl position wherein the alpha amino acid nitrogen is underivatized can be resolved using a two phase solvent system wherein the racemate is dissolved in a substantially water immiscible organic material which is a solvent for said amino acid racemate but not for the corresponding amino acids and in water to form an aqueous phase wherein the racemate dissolved in an aqueous phase, is in equilibrium with the racemate in the organic phase; selectively hydrolyzing one of the optical isomers of the amino acid racemate in the aqueous phase to the corresponding amino acid; and recovering the amino acid. The preferred product is L-phenylalanine.
