REVISED TAB 1A (TO FREESCALE'S OPENING CLAIM CONSTRUCTION BRIEF, D.I. 85) ProMOS Technologies, Inc. v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., (D. Del.) CA No. 06-788 (JJF) 12-13-2007 Parties' Proposed Claim Constructions for the Fortin '267 Patent Fortin Claim Limitation physical vapor deposition
Freescale's Constructions A process of building up material on a surface in which the material to be deposited is released from a source of the material into a vapor phase [largely] by one or more physical mechanisms. Chemical vapor deposition is not physical vapor deposition or a type of physical vapor deposition. A process of building up material on a surface in which a vapor formed with one or more chemical species that contain the material to be deposited, or components of the material to be deposited, undergoes suitable chemical reaction that enables the material being deposited to be released from the starting chemical species and accumulate on the deposition surface. Chemical vapor deposition is not physical vapor deposition or a type of physical vapor deposition. A type of physical vapor deposition in which a solid target is bombarded with high energy ions physically to dislodge the surface atoms on the target into a vapor phase for accumulation on the deposition surface without undergoing a chemical reaction. This term is indefinite.
ProMOS's Constructions A process [of accumulating material] in which films are deposited atomically by means of fluxes of individual neutral or ionic species [in a vapor phase].
chemical vapor deposition
A process [of accumulating material] in which films are precipitated from the gas phase by a chemical reaction [of reactant species that have been transported to the deposition surface by thermal diffusion].
sputtering
A process in which atoms from near the surface of a material are physically dislodged by an incoming ion.
