Abstract:
An event-based system and process for recording and playback of collaborative electronic presentations is presented. The present system and process includes a technique for recording collaborative electronic presentations by capturing and storing the interactions between each participant and presentation data where each interaction event is timestamped and linked to a data file comprising the presentation data. The present system and process also includes a technique for playing back the recorded collaborative electronic presentation, which involves displaying the presentation data in an order it was originally presented and reproducing the recorded interactions between each participant and the displayed presentation data at the same point in the presentation that they were originally performed, based on the aforementioned timestamps.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating an integrated circuit utilizes symmetric source/drain junctions. The process can be utilized for P-channel or N-channel metal oxide field semiconductor effect transistors (MOSFETS). The drain extension is deeper than the source extension. The source extension is more conductive than the drain extension. The transistor has reduced short channel effects and strong drive current and yet is reliable.

Abstract:
A method of forming a silicon-on-insulator semiconductor device including providing a substrate and forming a trench in the substrate, wherein the trench includes opposing side walls extending upwardly from a base of the trench. The method also includes depositing at least two insulating layers into the trench to form a shallow trench isolation structure, wherein an innermost of the insulating layers substantially conforms to the base and the two side walls of the trench and an outermost of the insulating layers spans the side walls of the trench so that a gap is formed between the insulating layers in the trench. The gap creates compressive forces within the shallow trench isolation structure, which in turn creates tensile stress within the surrounding substrate to enhance mobility of the device.

Abstract:
For fabricating a field effect transistor on an active device area of a semiconductor substrate, a gate dielectric and a gate electrode are formed on the active device area of the semiconductor substrate. Antimony (Sb) dopant is implanted into exposed regions of the active device area of the semiconductor substrate to form at least one of drain and source extension junctions and/or drain and source contact junctions. A low temperature thermal anneal process at a temperature less than about 950° Celsius is performed for activating the antimony (Sb) dopant within the drain and source extension junctions and/or drain and source contact junctions. In one embodiment of the present invention, the drain and source contact junctions are formed and thermally annealed before the formation of the drain and source extension junctions in a disposable spacer process for further minimizing heating of the drain and source extension junctions. In another embodiment of the present invention, the drain and source extension junctions and/or the drain and source contact junctions are formed to be amorphous before the thermal anneal process. In that case, a SPE (solid phase epitaxy) activation process in performed for activating the antimony (Sb) dopant within the amorphous drain and source extension junctions and/or the amorphous drain and source contact junctions at a temperature less than about 650° Celsius.
