Abstract:
A FET device for operation at high voltages includes a substrate, a first well and a second well within the substrate that are doped with implants of a first type and second type, respectively. The first and second wells define a p-n junction. A field oxide layer within the second well defines a first surface region to receive a drain contact. A third well is located at least partially in the first well, includes doped implants of the second type, and is adapted to receive a source contact. As such, the third well defines a channel between itself and the second well within the first well. A gate is disposed over the channel. At least a first portion of the gate is disposed over the p-n junction, and includes doped implants of the first type. A number of permutations are allowed for doping the remainder of the gate.
Abstract:
A low-cost general method to perform subsalt velocity analysis is provided. For instances where sediment velocity structure is relatively simple, the method includes a single one-time redatuming to the base of salt, using existing prestack wave equation tools. For instances where the sediment velocity structure has a variable topography, the method includes multi-step redatuming to the base of salt. The method is designed to completely remove the salt-sediment overburden effects, and redatum the surface seismic data to a flat arbitrary subsalt datum, removing the complexity of the wavefield caused by the salt bodies. Once having obtained a simplified wavefield by stripping off the effects of the complex overburden, less expensive Kirchhoff imaging algorithms are employed for performing subsalt velocity model building.

Abstract:
Retention-enhanced, programmable, shared floating gate logic circuits are employed as NVM cells. In one embodiment, the NVM cell is formed by a dual transistor logic gate circuit with a shared floating gate. The logic circuit is an inverter. The shared floating gate is doped partially or completely with p-type impurities to enhance retention. A charge adjustment circuit is arranged to inject and remove electrons to and from the shared floating gate determining the output of the logic gate circuit when supply voltage is applied to the logic gate circuit. In another embodiment, four transistors are employed to form another logic circuit such as a NOR gate or a NAND gate.

Abstract:
A method of depositing a polymer film onto a semiconductor wafer is provided which includes the steps of connecting the wafer to one terminal of a voltage source, connecting an electrode to an other pole of the voltage source and placing the electrode and substrate in superposed orientation to form a parallel plate capacitor, wherein an electric field is produced between the electrode and substrate. The parallel plate capacitor is placed in a chamber where pressure andc temperature are maintained at predetermined levels and gaseous monomers of the desired film to be polymerized are introduced into the chamber. The gaseous monomers are then permitted to flow between the electrode and wafer while the voltage of the electric field is maintained at a level sufficient to polarize the monomers without breaking their chemical bonds wherein the polarized monomers react to form a polymer film on the wafer at an enhanced rate.
