A seed delivery system for use in a seeding or planting machine that removes the seed from a seed meter by capturing the seed therefrom. The delivery system then moves the seed down to a lower discharge point and accelerates the seed horizontally rearward to a speed approximately equal to the forward travel speed of the seeding machine such that the seed, when discharged has a low or zero horizontal velocity relative to the ground. Rolling of the seed in the trench is thus reduced. Furthermore, as the seed only has a short drop from the outlet to the bottom of the seed trench, the seed has little vertical speed to induce bounce. The delivery system uses a brush belt to capture, move and accelerate the seed. By capturing the seed and moving it from the meter to the discharge, the seed is held in place relative to other seeds and the planter row unit. As a result, the seeds are isolated from row unit dynamics thereby maintaining seed spacing.

A nanowire structure includes a substrate, a graded planar buffer layer, a patterned mask, and a nanowire. The graded planar buffer layer is on the substrate. The patterned mask is on the graded planar buffer layer and includes an opening through which the graded planar buffer layer is exposed. The nanowire is on the graded planar buffer layer in the opening of the patterned mask. A lattice constant of the graded planar buffer layer is between a lattice constant of the substrate and a lattice constant of the nanowire. By providing the graded planar buffer layer, lattice mismatch between the nanowire and the substrate can be reduced or eliminated, thereby improving the quality and performance of the nanowire structure.

The present disclosure is directed to a method for the fabrication of isolation structures between source/drain (S/D)) epitaxial structures of stacked transistor structures. The method includes depositing an oxygen-free dielectric material in an opening over a first epitaxial structure, where the oxygen-free dielectric material covers top surfaces of the first epitaxial structure and sidewall surfaces of the opening. The method also includes exposing the oxygen-free dielectric material to an oxidizing process to oxidize the oxygen-free dielectric material so that the oxidizing process does not oxidize a portion of the oxygen-free dielectric material on the first epitaxial structure. Further, etching the oxidized oxygen-free dielectric material and forming a second epitaxial layer on the oxygen-free dielectric material not removed by the etching to substantially the opening.

To reduce power consumption and suppress display degradation of a liquid crystal display device. To suppress display degradation due to an external factor such as temperature. A transistor whose channel formation region is formed using an oxide semiconductor layer is used for a transistor provided in each pixel. Note that with the use of a high-purity oxide semiconductor layer, off-state current of the transistor at a room temperature can be 10 aA/μm or less and off-state current at 85° C. can be 100 aA/μm or less. Consequently, power consumption of a liquid crystal display device can be reduced and display degradation can be suppressed. Further, as described above, off-state current of the transistor at a temperature as high as 85° C. can be 100 aA/μm or less. Thus, display degradation of a liquid crystal display device due to an external factor such as temperature can be suppressed.
