`maser-!. Acronym for microwave ampli(cid:173)
`fication by stimulated emission of radia~
`tiori. A low-noise microwave amplifier .iri
`which a signal is boosted by changing .the
`energy level of a gas or crystal (com(cid:173)
`monly, ammonia or ruby, respectively). 2.
`A means of focusing a stream of particles,
`which concentrates only on the high(cid:173)
`energy particles. These are passed into a
`resonator which is resonating at the radia(cid:173)
`tion frequency of the particles. The parti;(cid:173)
`cles are in this state raised to il strong
`oscillation, and can be used for control
`purposes. By reducing the flow of parti(cid:173)
`cles to the resonator, to maintain oscllla(cid:173)
`tions, it can be used as an amplifier.
`(There are many other applications). 3.
`Device for amplifying a microwave fre•
`quency signal by "stimulated emission of
`radiation" -:-i.e., the weak microwave sig(cid:173)
`nal causes electrons in an atom to change
`orbit in such a manner as to emit an
`amplified signal of the same frequency as
`the weak signal.

`tions of a ,base during a deposition proc(cid:173)
`ess. 3. A device used to shield selected
`portions of a photosensitive material dur(cid:173)
`ing photographic processing. 4. A logical
`technique in which certain bits of a word
`are blanked out or inhibited. 5. Template
`used to etch circuit patterns on semicon(cid:173)
`ductor wafers. Images of the circuit pat(cid:173)
`terns are produced on glass or metal pho(cid:173)
`tographically. The mask is then used to
`control the diffusion process, plus met(cid:173)
`allization. 6. A chrome or glass plate hav(cid:173)
`ing the transparent circuit patterns of a
`single layer of a wafer. Masks are used in
`the defining of patterns on' the surface of
`a resist-covered wafer. 7. Thin metals or
`other materials with an open pattern de(cid:173)
`signed to mask off or shield selected por(cid:173)
`tions of semiconductors or other surfaces
`during deposition processes. There also
`are photomasks or optical masks for con(cid:173)
`tact or projection printing of wafers; these
`may use an extremely flat glass substrate
`with iron oxide, chrome, or .emulsion
`coating. There also are thick-film screen
`masks. 8. The photographic negative that
`serves as the master for making thick-film
`screens and thin-film patterns. 9. The
`pattern, usually "printed" on glass, used
`to define areas of the Chip or wafer. Masks
`are used for the diffusion, oxidation, and
`metallization steps used in manufacturing
`of semiconductors. 10. To hide, to obs(cid:173)
`cure, to make less noticeable. For exam(cid:173)
