Abstract: A paintball assembly capable of retaining a paintball in a loading chamber using a paintball catcher is disclosed. The paintball assembly includes a loading chamber, a detent, and a bolt. The loading chamber is coupled to a loading port to receive paintballs. In one embodiment, the detent includes a paintball catcher capable of catching the paintball as it is loaded into the loading chamber. In one example, the paintball catcher is a flexible paintball catcher extending into the loading chamber and is able to catch the paintball and hold it in a predefined position. When a trigger is pulled, the bolt pushes the paintball into a firing chamber while the paintball catcher releases the paintball.

Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine with compression ignition or with spark ignition as a function of an operating point. A specific residual exhaust-gas quantity in the combustion space is set for compression ignition. The internal combustion engine is operated as a function of the operating point by an outlet cam, by which a first outlet opening phase and a second outlet opening phase take place. The second outlet opening phase commences during an inlet opening phase. At a first operating point in a compression-ignition mode, a residual exhaust-gas quantity in a combustion space is dimensioned as a function of a valve interference set between the inlet and the outlet valve during a charge exchange. At a second operating point in the compression-ignition mode the residual exhaust-gas quantity in the combustion space is dimensioned as a function of a duration of the second outlet opening phase.

Abstract: A method of forming a thin film resistor contact incorporates an etch-stop material to protect the underlying thin film resistor from a subsequent dry etching process to form a contact opening to the thin film resistor. More specifically, the method includes forming a thin film resistor, forming a first dielectric layer over the thin film resistor, forming a first opening through the first dielectric layer to expose an underlying portion of the thin film resistor, forming an etch-stop within the first opening of the first dielectric layer, forming a second dielectric layer over the etch-stop and the first dielectric layer, forming a second opening through the second dielectric layer to expose the underlying portion of the etch-stop, and forming a metal plug within the second contact opening, wherein the metal plug is in electrical contact with the thin film resistor by way of the etch-stop. Alternatively, in the case of an insulating etch-stop, the second opening through the dielectric layer is through the etch-stop, and forming a metal plug within the second contact opening, wherein the metal plug is in direct electrical contact with the thin film resistor.

Abstract: The capacitance between the gate electrode and the source/drain regions of a semiconductor device is reduced by forming sub-spacers of a low dielectric constant (K) material at the corners of the gate electrode above the source/drain regions. Subsequently, insulating sidewall spacers are formed over the sub-spacers to shield-shallow source/drain regions from subsequent impurity implantations. The resulting semiconductor device exhibits reduced capacitance between the gate electrode and the source/drain regions, while maintaining circuit reliability.

Abstract: A method for making 0.25 micron semiconductor chips includes annealing the metal interconnect lines prior to depositing an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) between the lines. During annealing, an alloy of aluminum and titanium forms, which subsequently volumetrically contracts, with the contraction being absorbed by the aluminum. Because the alloy is reacted prior to ILD deposition, however, the aluminum is not constrained by the ILD when it attempts to absorb the contraction of the alloy. Consequently, the likelihood of undesirable void formation in the interconnect lines is reduced. The likelihood of undesirable void formation is still further reduced during the subsequent ILD gapfill deposition process by using relatively low bias power to reduce vapor deposition temperature, and by using relatively low source gas deposition flow rates to reduce flow-induced compressive stress on the interconnect lines during ILD formation.

Abstract translation: 用于制造0.25微米半导体芯片的方法包括在线之间沉积层间电介质（ILD）之前退火金属互连线。 在退火期间，形成铝和钛的合金，其随后容积收缩，收缩被铝吸收。 因为合金在ILD沉积之前反应，所以当铝试图吸收合金的收缩时，铝不受ILD的约束。 因此，互连线中不希望的空隙形成的可能性降低。 在随后的ILD间隙填充沉积过程中，通过使用相对低的偏置功率来降低气相沉积温度，并且通过使用相对较低的源气体沉积流速来减少互连线上的流动引起的压缩应力，仍然进一步降低了不希望的空隙形成的可能性 在ILD形成期间。
