摘要:
A method of forming a microlens structure is provided along with a CCD array structure employing a microlens array. An embodiment of the method comprises providing a substrate having a surface with photo-elements on the surface; depositing a transparent material overlying the surface of the substrate; depositing and patterning a photoresist layer overlying the transparent material to form openings to expose the transparent material; introducing a first isotropic etchant into the openings and etching the transparent material where exposed to form initial lens shapes having a radius; stripping the photoresist; exposing the transparent material to a second isotropic etchant to increase the radius of the lens shapes; and depositing a lens material overlying the transparent material, whereby the lens shapes are at least partially filled with lens material. An embodiment of the CCD array comprises an array of CCD pixels on a substrate; and a lens array in contact with the array of CCD pixels; wherein the lens array comprises a transparent material having concave indentations, and a lens material at least partially filling the concave indentations forming a plano-convex lens in contact with the transparent material.

A stacked metal gate MOSFET and fabrication method are provided. The method comprises: forming a gate oxide layer overlying a channel region; forming a first metal layer having a first thickness overlying the gate oxide layer; forming a second metal layer having a second thickness overlying the first metal layer; and, establishing a gate work function in response to the combination of the first and second thicknesses. In one example, the first metal layer has a thickness of less than about 1.5 nanometers (nm) the second metal layer has a thickness greater than about 10 nm. Then, establishing a gate work function includes establishing a gate work function substantially in response to the second metal second thickness. Alternately, the first metal thickness is greater than about 20 nm. Then, the gate work function is established substantially in response to the first metal thickness.
摘要:
A method is provided for fabrication of superconducting oxides and superconducting oxide composites and for joining superconductors to other materials. A coating of a molten alloy containing the metallic elements of the oxide is applied to a substrate surface and oxidized to form the superconducting oxide. A material can be contacted to the molten alloy which is subsequently oxidized joining the material to the resulting superconducting oxide coating. Substrates of varied composition and shape can be coated or joined by this method.

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an eyewear retainer, showing my new design; FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view thereof; FIG. 3 is a front elevation view thereof; FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof; FIG. 5 is a left side view, the right side view being a mirror image of FIG. 5; FIG. 6 is a top plan view thereof; and, FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view thereof. The broken lines in the figures depict portions of the eyewear retainer, that form no part of the claimed design. The article is shown with a symbolic break in its length. The appearance of any portion of the article between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel anti-TB cyclic peptides from Nonomuraea sp. MJM5123, a process for the production of the anti-Tuberculosis peptide and a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of mycobacterial infection comprising the same. The composition of the present invention is highly active against replicating/non-replicating M. tuberculosis, including MDR and XDR strains, so that it can be effectively used as a therapeutic agent for tuberculosis.
