816. Mask chamber means for vacuum deposition device.
(USA)
The apparatus is for vacuum-depositing thin film circuits. A circuit requiring several depositions may be fabricated quickly and with great accuracy within a vacuum chamber without breaking the chamber vacuum. The mask changer may be set up for hand operation or it may be motorized so as to perform all of its operations automatically. E Byron, US Patent 3,207,126,21 Sept 1965. 30 817.

(USA)
Thin films of Al, Au, KCl, and CsI were prepared by thermal evaporation in a diffusion pumped, freon refrigerator baffled hell jar system at pressures ranging from 2 x lo-’ to 1O-L torr. The data reported, using direct methods of measurement, was obtained during a calibration of a quartz crystal monitor and is in agreement with the data of Wolter and Hartman.

The nature of the degradation of MO disilicide coatings on MO at 3110’ to 4000°F in hard vacuum (lO_’ torr) was investigated. Degradation occurred as a selective silicon loss by the successive transformations: MoSi, + Mo,Si, -+ Mo,Si + MO. G R Blair et al, J Amer Ceramic Sot, 48 (8), 1965,430. 827.

Fabrication of a thin film integrated circuit version of a simple lowpressure filter, equivalent to a single constant-K section, in order to make frequency selective networks at low frequencies. Tantalum films were deposited on a flat glass substrate by cathodic sputtering. The properties of the thin film and design considerations are discussed.

(Japan) The volume ratio of alloy deposits from vacuum-evaporated materials was directly obtained by a simple optical measurement of the film thickness ratio of stepwise films. A screening wire, 0.1 mm diameter (tungsten) was placed on the substrate surface before the alloy was deposited from multiple evaporation sources. The results compare favourably with the X-ray fluorescence method showing a maximum difference of 20 per cent. Causes of the difference are discussed including the absorption of nickel Ka lines by chromium 279
