摘要:
A MONOS Charge-Trapping flash (CTF), with record thinnest 3.6 nm ENT trapping layer, has a large 3.1V 10-year extrapolated retention window at 125° C. and excellent 106 endurance at a fast 100 is and ±16 V program/erase. This is achieved using As+-implanted higher κ trapping layer with deep 5.1 eV work-function of As. In contrast, the un-implanted device only has a small 10-year retention window of 1.9 V at 125° C. A MoN—[SiO2—LaAlO3]—[Ge—HfON]—[LaAlO3—SiO2]—Si CTF device is also provided with record-thinnest 2.5-nm Equivalent-Si3N4-Thickness (ENT) trapping layer, large 4.4 V initial memory window, 3.2 V 10-year extrapolated retention window at 125° C., and 3.6 V endurance window at 106 cycles, under very fast 100 μs and low ±16 V program/erase. These were achieved using Ge reaction with HfON trapping layer for better charge-trapping and retention.

This invention proposes a method for making low Vt light-reflective-layer/dual-metal-gates/high-κ CMOSFETs with simple light-irradiation anneal and light-reflective-layer covered dual metal-gates with self-aligned and gate-first process compatible with current VLSI process. At 1.05 nm EOT, good φm-eff of 5.04 and 4.24 eV, low Vt of −0.16 and 0.13 V, high mobility of 85 and 209 cm2/Vs, and small 85° C. BTI≦40 mV (10 MV/cm, 1 hr) were measured for p- and n-MOSFETs. Using novel very high-κ TiLaO gate dielectric, low Vt of −0.07 and 0.12 V and high mobility of 82 and 203 cm2/Vs were achieved even at small EOT of 0.63 nm.

The present invention proposes a new asymmetric-lightly-doped drain (LDD) metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor that is fully embedded in a CMOS logic. The radio frequency (RF) power performance of both conventional and asymmetric MOS transistor is measured and compared. The output power can be improved by 38% at peak power-added efficiency (PAE). The PAE is also improved by 16% at 10-dBm output power and 2.4 GHz. These significant improvements of RF power performance by this new MOS transistor make the RF-CMOS system-on-chip design a step further. Index Terms—Lightly-doped-drain (LDD), metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor, radio frequency (RF) power transistor.
摘要:
Surgical procedure and surgical instruments include an electrode structure for insertion through tissue superiorly of a subxiphoid incision to a position posterior of an aspect of the sternum and anterior of the pericardium. The electrode structure may be expanded, for example, including an inflatable member to position a number of electrodes of the electrode structure in contact with the pericardium. Alternatively, an electrode structure on an insertion cannula may be retained in contact with the pericardium by the cannula positioned within the dissected tissue. Electrical conductors from the contacting electrodes are routed through the tract of dissected tissue toward the subxiphoid incision for attachment to a generator that is implanted in a subcutaneous pocket near the subxiphoid incision.
摘要:
Implements, particularly medical instruments, formed at least in part of elongated polymer members, exhibit high torque fidelity after processing with tension, heat, and twisting. The processing orients the polymer in generally helical paths so that torque imposed at the proximal end can be transmitted to the distal end without substantial whipping, even if the implement follows a long and tortuous pathway. Applications include medical guidewires, catheters, and driveshafts.
摘要:
Resistive random access memory (RRAM) using stacked dielectrics and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed, where a setting power of only 4 μW, an ultra-low reset power of 2 nW, good switching uniformity and excellent cycling endurance up to 5×109 cycles were achieved simultaneously. Such record high performances were reached in a Ni/GeOx/nano-crystal-TiO2/TaON/TaN RRAM device, where the excellent endurance is 4˜6 orders of magnitude larger than existing Flash memory. The very long endurance and low switching energy RRAM is not only satisfactory for portable SSD in a computer, but may also create new applications such as being used for a Data Center to replace high power consumption hard discs.

A medical prosthesis having a low profile for delivery into a body lumen is disclosed. The stent includes a plurality of wire strands woven to form a plurality of joints at the intersections, some of which are helically wrapped. The helically wrapped joints may be offset form the joints of a second plurality of wire strands concentric to the first. Alternatively, the helically wrapped joints can doubled forming box nodes.
