flow Explanation: GDT étalement n. m. flow Définition : Action d'étendre sur une grande surface en une couche fine. Sous-entrée(s) : synonyme(s) fluage n. m. Note(s) : Les dictionnaires consultés ne donnent pas ce sens au mot fluage. On trouve fluence (peu usité) dans Quillet dont la définition correspond à la définition anglaise de « flow ». Ajoutons que « free-flowing material » [Boucher (Carl O.). - Swenson's Complete Dentures, - 1970 : 321)] se rend par matériau fluide [Lejoyeux (J.). - Prothèse complète, 1970 : I-336). Étalement, d'autre part, ne rend pas tout à fait l'idée de « flow ». |

spreading out Explanation: Even though this is about integrated circuits, this surely is about the "mechanical" process of manufacture, as your text indicates. I think this means that you have the "classical steps [in manufacturing]: applying (or depositing) an insulating layer of silicum oxide, spreading the layer out..." |

creep test Explanation: I think that "fluage" between "" means that the manufacturer submits the layer to a creep test - reproducing creeping conditions to test resistance of layer Silica has considerably low thermal expansion, a fairly high melting point and is resistant to creep making it a good refractory material. It tends to be used in acid environments if used on its own or used as a starting material for the synthesis of other refractory products. Due to the fact that silica is insoluble in the majority of acids, it is used as a refractory material in acidic environments. |
