摘要:
A method, system, architecture and apparatus for deploying multiple e-commerce systems in a single computing platform. In accordance with the present invention, an e-commerce systems architecture can include an instantiable owning business logic component derived from an abstract business definition and one or more instantiable business element components configured for aggregation under the control of a business facility instance. The business facility instance can include a coupling to an instance of the owning business logic component. Finally, the architecture can include an instantiable partner business component derived from the abstract business definition. In particular, the instantiable partner business component can include a configuration for limited access to selected ones of the instantiable business element components aggregated under the control of the business facility instance.

An integrated circuit system that includes: providing a substrate including a first region with a first device and a second device and a second region with a resistance device; configuring the first device, the second device, and the resistance device to include a first spacer and a second spacer; forming a stress inducing layer over the first region and the second region; processing at least a portion of the stress inducing layer formed over the first region to alter the stress within the stress inducing layer; and forming a third spacer adjacent the second spacer of the first device and the second device from the stress inducing layer.

An apparatus for storing and dispensing a test strip includes a container configured to store a stack of test strips. The container maintains appropriate environmental conditions, such as humidity, for storing the test strips. An engaging member is disposed in the container and is adapted to contact one test strip of the stack of test strips. An actuator actuates the engaging member to dispense the one test strip from the container. Since one test strip is dispensed at a time, the remaining test strips are not handled by the user. Accordingly, the unused test strips remain free of contaminants such as naturally occurring oils on the user's hand.

Methods of characterizing a mechanical stress level in a stressed layer of a transistor and a mechanical stress characterizing test structure are disclosed. In one embodiment, the test structure includes a first test transistor including a first stress level; and at least one second test transistor having a substantially different second stress level. A testing circuit can then be used to characterize the mechanical stress level by comparing performance of the first test transistor and the at least one second test transistor. The type of test structure depends on the integration scheme used. In one embodiment, at least one second test transistor is provided with a substantially neutral stress level and/or an opposite stress level from the first stress level. The substantially neutral stress level may be provided by either rotating the transistor, removing the stressed layer causing the stress level or de-stressing the stressed layer causing the stress layer.

The present invention provides a semiconductor material that has enhanced electron and hole mobilities that comprises a Si-containing layer having a crystal orientation and a biaxial compressive strain. The term “biaxial compressive stress” is used herein to describe the net stress caused by longitudinal compressive stress and lateral stress that is induced upon the Si-containing layer during the manufacturing of the semiconductor material. Other aspect of the present invention relates to a method of forming the semiconductor material of the present invention. The method of the present invention includes the steps of providing a silicon-containing layer; and creating a biaxial strain in the silicon-containing layer.

Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device including a dual-hybrid liner in which an underlying silicide layer is protected from photoresist stripping chemicals by using a hard mask as a pattern during etching, rather than using a photoresist. The hard mask prevents exposure of a silicide layer to photoresist stripping chemicals and provides very good lateral dimension control such that the two nitride liners are well aligned.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to catalog modeling for e-commerce systems and provide a method, system and computer program product for an adaptive unified retail catalog. In an embodiment of the invention, an e-commerce data processing system can be configured for catalog adaptation. The system can include an adaptive retail catalog, a logical catalog implementation of a logical catalog model coupled to the adaptive retail catalog, and a physical catalog coupled to the adaptive retail catalog through a database mediator. The system further includes a mapping of search requests against the logical catalog implementation to the physical catalog. In this way, changes to the underlying physical catalog model can be accommodated without requiring a companion change in the logical catalog model.
