Abstract:
A fabrication method for a semiconductor device structure is provided. The device structure has a layer of silicon and a layer of silicon dioxide overlying the layer of silicon, and the method begins by forming an isolation recess by removing a portion of the silicon dioxide and a portion of the silicon. The isolation recess is filled with stress-inducing silicon nitride and, thereafter, the silicon dioxide is removed such that the stress-inducing silicon nitride protrudes above the silicon. Next, the exposed silicon is thermally oxidized to form silicon dioxide hardmask material overlying the silicon. Thereafter, a first portion of the silicon dioxide hardmask material is removed to reveal an accessible surface of the silicon, while leaving a second portion of the silicon dioxide hardmask material intact. Next, silicon germanium is epitaxially grown from the accessible surface of the silicon.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and system for document printing management and control and source tracking. A printing management service program runs at a server end. A printing monitoring service program runs at a client end. The printing management service program saves client end information, monitors and manages a client end computer, sets a printing management policy, and delivers operation instructions to the client end. The printing monitoring service program collects the client end information, sends the client end information to the server end, and executes the operation instruction.

The CMOS device further includes a gate in contact with a channel and in contact with an extension region. The CMOS device also includes a source in contact with the extension region and a drain in contact with the extension region. The extension region includes a first region in contact with the source and the gate and includes a second region in contact with the drain and the gate.
Abstract:
An integrated microchannel reactor and heat exchanger comprising: (a) a waveform sandwiched between opposing shim sheets and mounted to the shim sheets to form a series of microchannels, where each microchannel includes a pair of substantially straight side walls, and a top wall formed by at least one of the opposing shim sheets, and (b) a first set of microchannels in thermal communication with the waveform, where the waveform has an aspect ratio greater than two.
Abstract:
A high-k metal gate electrode is formed with reduced gate voids. An embodiment includes forming a replaceable gate electrode, for example of amorphous silicon, having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface being larger than the bottom surface, removing the replaceable gate electrode, forming a cavity having a top opening larger than a bottom opening, and filling the cavity with metal. The larger top surface may be formed by etching the bottom portion of the amorphous silicon at greater temperature than the top portion, or by doping the top and bottom portions of the amorphous silicon differently such that the bottom has a greater lateral etch rate than the top.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for printing an image, comprising a step of rasterizing an image to be printed in view of a first resolution to generate a first data bitmap; a step of splitting the first data bitmap according to a ratio of the first resolution to a second resolution to generate second data bitmaps; and a step of outputting the second data bitmaps to a printer with the second resolution for printing. Disclosed is also a device for printing images. The method and device for printing an image may solve the problem in the prior art that the definition of an image printed from a printer is too low and improve the definition of an image printed from a printer.
