Abstract:
In a silicon carbide semiconductor device such as a trench gate type power MOSFET, the film thickness and the impurity concentration of a thin film silicon carbide semiconductor layer formed on a trench side face to constitute an accumulation-type channel-forming region and enable the device to operate with a low gate voltage, low on-resistance and low power loss are set so that on impression of a reverse bias voltage a pn junction between a P-type epitaxial layer and an n.sup.- -type epitaxial layer undergoes avalanche breakdown before the thin film silicon carbide semiconductor layer undergoes punch-through. By this means it is possible to obtain a target high source-drain withstand voltage.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate including a first conductivity type first semiconductor layer and a second conductivity type second semiconductor layer formed on the first semiconductor layer. A unit cell for controlling current flowing between a source electrode and a drain electrode is formed in the semiconductor substrate. A trench is formed in a peripheral region of the unit cell to form mesa structure. A field relaxing layer is formed between an insulating film on a side face of the second trench and both the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer in order to relax concentration of an electric field in the insulating film.
Abstract:
A split queue system for a decoder that supplies one or more micro-operations and data associated with the micro-operations. A main queue is coupled to receive one or more micro-operations from the decoder, and supply it to a next processing stage to provide a process micro-operation. A shadow queue is coupled to receive data associated with the micro-operation, in the same cycle that the micro-operation is supplied to the main queue. A control circuit is coupled to the main queue for issuing micro-operation from the main queue into the next processing stage in a first cycle, and in a second cycle issuing, the micro-operation therefrom. Also in the second cycle, the control circuit issues the data associated with the micro-operation from the shadow queue, so that the data is synchronized with its associated processed micro-operation.
Abstract:
A method for hydraulic fracturing of a subterranean formation includes injecting an oil-based fracturing fluid into the subterranean formation through a well. The method also includes injecting a second fracturing fluid, for example a water-based fracturing fluid, into the subterranean formation through the well after completion of the injection of the oil-based fracturing fluid.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, from a user computer that is a party to a transaction, information that can be used to identify a transaction between the user computer and a resource provider computer. The method further includes determining one or more attributes. The method additionally includes presenting a first question based on the one or more attributes. The method also includes receiving a response to the first question, presenting a second question based on the received response, and receiving a response to the second question. The method further includes storing the received responses in a data storage element, wherein the data storage element is accessible by an authorizing entity computer.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for automating an invoice approval process are described herein. Rules are created which are evaluated against a set of attributes. A rules engine is automatically invoked upon receipt of a document in an electronic invoice presentment and payment system. The rules engine determines which rules are applicable to documents received and processed in the system, and applies those applicable rules in a pre-defined sequence.
Abstract:
A proppant comprises a particle and a polymeric coating disposed about the particle. The polymeric coating comprises the reaction product of a novolac polyol, an isocyanate, and an azole. The novolac polyol has a number average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 1000 g/mol. A method of forming the proppant comprises the steps of providing the particle, providing the novolac polyol, providing the isocyanate, and providing the azole. The method also includes the steps of combining the novolac polyol, the isocyanate, and the azole to react and form the polymeric coating and coating the particle with the polymeric coating to form the proppant.
