摘要:
A method is disclosed of forming buried channel devices and surface channel devices on a heterostructure semiconductor substrate. In an embodiment, the method includes the steps of providing a structure including a first layer having a first oxidation rate disposed over a second layer having a second oxidation rate wherein the first oxidation rate is greater than the second oxidation rate, reacting said first layer to form a sacrificial layer, and removing said sacrificial layer to expose said second layer.

摘要:
Semiconductor structures and devices including strained material layers having impurity-free zones, and methods for fabricating same. Certain regions of the strained material layers are kept free of impurities that can interdiffuse from adjacent portions of the semiconductor. When impurities are present in certain regions of the strained material layers, there is degradation in device performance. By employing semiconductor structures and devices (e.g., field effect transistors or “FETs”) that have the features described, or are fabricated in accordance with the steps described, device operation is enhanced.
摘要:
A semiconductor device and a method for fabricating a semiconductor device involve a semiconductor layer that includes a first material and a second material. The first and second materials can be silicon and germanium. A contact of the device has a portion proximal to the semiconductor layer and a portion distal to the semiconductor layer. The distal portion includes the first material and the second material. A metal layer formed adjacent to the relaxed semiconductor layer and adjacent to the distal portion of the contact is simultaneously reacted with the relaxed semiconductor layer and with the distal portion of the contact to provide metallic contact material.

A surgical portal device for use in an endoscopic procedure includes an elongated body portion dimensioned for insertion through tissue. The body portion includes an outer wall defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal lumen configured to allow a surgical instrument to pass therethrough. A plurality of threaded fixation segments is disposed on an exterior surface of the outer wall of the body portion. The threaded fixation segments are dimensioned and configured to engage tissue surrounding an opening to secure the elongated body at a predefined location within the tissue. The threaded fixation segments include a proximal threaded fixation segment having an average first thread diameter and a distal threaded fixation segment having an average second thread diameter less than the average first thread diameter. In one embodiment, each of the threaded fixation segments have different average thread diameters. The average thread diameters of the threaded fixation segments may gradually increase from a distal-most threaded fixation segment to a proximal-most threaded fixation segment.

A surgical access device includes a housing; an access member extending distally from the housing and being dimensioned for positioning within tissue, and defining a longitudinal axis; and a seal assembly disposed within the housing. The seal assembly includes first and second seal components respectively having first and second seal members. Each of the first and second seal members defines a passage for passage of a surgical object in substantial sealed relation therewith. The first and second seal components are capable of relative rotation about the longitudinal axis between a first position, in which passages of the first and second seal members are in substantial alignment, and a second position where the passages of the first and second seal members are offset to inhibit the communication of fluid through the seal assembly.
