    Abstract: A METHOD OF ETCHING FILM MATERIAL SUCH AS A THIN FILM LAYER WHERE THE THICKNESS OF THE THIN FILM IS NOT UNIFORM. THE THIN FILM LAYER, WHICH MAY CONSIST OF AN OXIDE, A METAL OR THE LIKE, IS NORMALLY SUPPORTED ON A SUBSTRATE. THE THIN FILM LAYER HAS MARKEDLY DIFFERENT THICKNESS IN DIFFERENT AREAS TO BE ETCHED. THE PHOTORESIST COATED THIN FILM IS EXPOSED BY AN ELECTRON BEAM IN A SERIES OF SEPARATE EXPOUSRES WITH DIFFERENT EXPOSURE DENSITIES. THE THICKEST AREA IS EXPOSED FIRST WITH THE HIGHEST EXPOSURE DENSITY. SUBSEQUENT EXPOSURES ARE MADE IN THE OTHER DESIRED AREAS WITH DECREASING DENSITIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH DECRASING THICKNESS. IN THE DEVELOPMENT STEPS, THE PHOTORESIST IS DEVELOPED UNTIL THE AREA OF HIGHEST EXPOSED DENSITY IS OPENED AND THE THIN FILM IS ETCHED TO THE NEXT THICKNESS LEVEL. DEVELOPMENT IS CONTINUED UNTIL THE SECOND HIGHEST EXPOSED DENSITY IS OPENED AND THEN THE THIN FILM IS ETCHED TO THE NEXT THIN FILM LEVEL AND SO ON.

    Abstract: HIGH SENSITIVITY RESIST SYSTEM FOR LIFT-OFF METALLIZATION High sensitivity resist films for lift-off metallization are formed by coating a substrate with at least two layers of polymeric materials, each layer of which is developed by different developers that are mutually exclusive of one another. The resist can operate for lift-off at electron beam exposure equal to or greater than 5x10-6 coulombs/cm2.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for conducting a physical process and a chemical reaction by exposing a material containing a volatile substance to microwave radiation where the morphology of said material will change when exposed to such radiation. The power of said radiation is adjusted over time as the morphology of the material changes to maximize the effect of the radiation in order to produce a product in a minimum amount of time that is substantially free of said volatile substance. The method and apparatus can also be used to conduct such a process or reaction with materials that do not contain a volatile material. In one embodiment a method and apparatus are disclosed for manufacturing a polyimide from a precursor in a solvent by exposing the precursor to microwave radiation in a tuneable microwave resonant cavity (2) that is tuned during imidization to achieve critical coupling of the system. Microwave power is controlled to remove the solvent and obtain the desired level of reaction.
