    摘要: A method is disclosed for forming a single crystal cantilever and tip on a substrate. The method can include the operation of defining an implant area on the substrate with a layer of photoresist. A further operation can be implanting oxygen into the substrate in the implant area to a predetermined depth to form a buried oxide layer. The buried oxide layer can define a bottom of the single crystal cantilever and tip. Another operation can involve shaping the single crystal cantilever and tip from the substrate above the buried oxide layer.

    摘要: A method for forming an strained silicon integrated circuit device. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate and forming a dielectric layer overlying the semiconductor substrate. The method also includes forming a gate layer overlying the dielectric layer and forming a hard mask overlying the gate layer. The method patterns the gate layer to form a gate structure including edges using the hard mask as a protective layer. The method forms a dielectric layer overlying the gate structure to protect the gate structure including the edges. The method forms spacers from the dielectric layer, while maintaining the hard mask overlying the gate structure. The method etches a source region and a drain region adjacent to the gate structure using the dielectric layer and the hard mask as a protective layer, while the hard mask prevents any portion of the gate structure from being exposed. In a preferred embodiment, the method maintains the hard mask overlying the gate structure. The method includes depositing silicon germanium material into the source region and the drain region to fill the etched source region and the etched drain region, while maintaining any portion of the gate layer from being exposed using the hard mask such that the gate structure is substantially free from any permanent deposition of silicon germanium material, which causes a channel region between the source region and the drain region to be strained in compressive mode from at least the silicon germanium material formed in the source region and the drain region. In a preferred embodiment, the method removing the hard mask from the gate structure to expose a top portion of the gate structure and maintains the top portion of the gate structure being substantially free from any silicon germanium material.

    摘要: The economics of a catalytic process using a fluidized conversion zone and a relatively expensive catalyst for converting an oxygenate to light olefins are substantially improved by recovering and recycling effluent contaminating catalyst particles from the product effluent stream withdrawn from the conversion zone which are present despite the use of one or more vapor-solid cyclone separating means to clean up this effluent stream. The contaminating catalyst particles are separated from this product effluent stream using a wet scrubbing zone and an optional dewatering zone to recover a slurry containing the contaminated particles which, quite surprisingly, can be successfully directly recycled to the oxygenate conversion zone or to the associated catalyst regeneration zone without loss of any substantial amount of catalytic activity thereby decreasing the amount of fresh catalyst addition required to make up for this source of catalyst loss.

    摘要: The present invention is a method and apparatus for resource allocation signaling for grouping user real time services. Uplink signaling for voice activity reporting of each user's transition between an active state and an inactive voice state is sent from a wireless transmit/receive unit to a Node B. Radio resource allocation to users of a wireless communication system varies based on user measurement reporting, a pre-determined pattern such as frequency hopping, or a pseudorandom function. Grouping methods are adjusted to better utilize the voice activity factor, so that statistical multiplexing can be used to more efficiently utilize physical resources.
