A thin film composite membrane (TFC) includes an active layer on a support. The active layer includes at least 8 barrier layers of star-polymers each having at least three linear polymers attached at a central core. Each of the barrier layers has a thickness between 5 and 50 nm, and the barrier layers have alternating charge.

Methods and apparatus to provide virtualized vector processing are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes a decode unit to decode a first instruction into a decoded first instruction and a second instruction into a decoded second instruction, and an execution unit to: execute the decoded first instruction to cause allocation of a first portion of one or more operations corresponding to a virtual vector request to a first processor core, and generation of a first signal corresponding to a second portion of the one or more operations to cause allocation of the second portion to a second processor core, and execute the decoded second instruction to cause a first computational result corresponding to the first portion of the one or more operations and a second computational result corresponding to the second portion of the one or more operations to be aggregated and stored to a memory location.

The current invention involves periodically ordered nanostructured materials and methods of using and modifying the materials. In some embodiments, the invention provides periodically structured microphase separated polymeric articles that include periodically occurring separate domains. The polymeric species comprising one or more of the domains, for some embodiments, contains an inorganic species capable of forming an inorganic oxide ceramic. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for modifying the polymeric articles by oxidation and/or radiation to form periodically structured porous and relief articles that, in some embodiments, include a ceramic oxide in their structure. The invention also provides methods of use for the novel articles and novel structures constructed utilizing the articles.

Periodic porous and relief nanostructured articles

Oxycarbosilane materials make excellent matrix materials for the formation of porous low-k materials using incorporated pore generators(porogens). The elastic modulus numbers measured for porous samples prepared in this fashion are 3&#x2013;6 times higher than porous organosilicates prepared using the sacrificial porogen route. The oxycarbosilane materials are used to produce integrated circuits for use in electronics devices.

Porous organosilicates with improved mechanical properties

The invention relates to a process for forming an integrated circuit device comprising (i) a substrate; (ii) metallic circuit lines positioned on the substrate and (iii) a dielectric material positioned on the circuit lines. The dielectric material comprises porous organic polysilica.

Process for manufacture of integrated circuit device using inorganic/organic matrix comprising polymers of three dimensional architecture

The present invention provides an ablatively photodecomposable polymer having a photoabsorber bound to the polymer (the 'ablatively photodecomposable polymer') which does not phase separate, nor does it crystallize. The ablatively photodecomposable polymer provides even ablation, high resolution and in preferred embodiments, can withstand potassium permanganate etchant and ferric chloride etchant. The ablatively photodecomposable polymer is strippable, although it can remain on the substrate if desired. The ablatively photodecomposable polymer comprises a polymer to which a photoabsorber is bound, either covalently or ionically. The present invention is also directed to a process for forming a metal pattern on a substrate employing the ablatively photodecomposable polymer.

Process for manufacture of integrated circuit device using a matrix

A nonlinear optical device comprising a substrate and a film structure coated on to the substrate. The film has, in a direction normal to the substrate, an intercalation structure including a semiconductor layer and an organic layer that lave different energy gaps. The intercalation structure includes a plurality of semiconductor layers and a plurality of organic layers which comprise a quantum well system. The film structure includes an assembly of microcrystals having domain size smaller than that of the wavelength of light with which the device operates. The microcrystals have an axis aligned in a direction normal to the substrate and have randomly oriented axes in a direction parallel to the substrate. A method for producing the device comprises providing a solution of an organic material in a solvent and placing a quantity of the solution on a substrate to form the organic material film structure thereon. The film is formed by spin coating of the solution on the substrate. Preferably the film is comprised of a two-dimensional perovskite such as (C.sub.10 H.sub.21 NH.sub.3).sub.2 PbI.sub.4. The solvent is acetone or dimethoxyl ethane.
