In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving in a persistent electronic display an authentication code from an end user, determining whether the received authentication code corresponds to a stored authentication code, and displaying a selected image on the persistent electronic display if the received authentication code corresponds to the stored authentication code, and otherwise displaying an obscured image on the persistent electronic display. This obscured image may be in an unreadable format in which information of the selected image is unreadable but a type of document represented by the selected image is determinable. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for cleaning/etching the surface of an article with sonic energy in the megahertz range which employ an anti-reflection mechanism within a recirculation tank. A tank having at least one side wall and a bottom structure holds a cleaning/etching liquid and a megasonic transducer is associated with the tank for projecting megasonic energy into the liquid. The anti-reflection mechanism is disposed within the tank in close association with the at least one sidewall or bottom structure of the tank to thereby minimize reflection of megasonic energy from the associated surface. Preferably, the megasonic transducer is associated with a first tank sidewall which opposes a second tank sidewall, and the anti-reflection mechanism is disposed adjacent the second tank sidewall. By way of example, the anti-reflection mechanism can comprise a stream of gas bubbles, a plurality of anechoic structures, or a combination of both gas bubbles and anechoic structures.

A contact stud for a semiconductor structure is fabricated by providing a semiconductor substrate having an alignment structure, which includes a sidewall, and the semiconductor structure formed thereon, forming a sidewall spacer contiguous with the semiconductor structure and the sidewall of the alignment structure, depositing an insulating layer contiguous with the sidewall spacer so as to insulate the semiconductor structure, etching the sidewall spacer selectively to the sidewall of the alignment structure, the semiconductor structure and the insulating layer for forming a contact window opening for allowing access to the semiconductor structure, and backfilling the contact window opening with a conductive material so as to contact the semiconductor structure for forming the stud.

Self-aligning process for fabricating a semiconductor structure and stud therefor on a semiconductor substrate comprises depositing a first material onto the substrate, depositing a second material onto the first material, removing excess portions of second material so as to form openings through the second material exposing excess portions of first material, whereby a selected portion of second material is retained and forms a sacrificial element, removing the excess portions of first material selectively to the substrate so as to extend the openings through the first material to the substrate, whereby a selected portion of first material is retained and forms the semiconductor structure, filling the openings with an insulating material, removing the sacrificial element selectively to the insulating material and the semiconductor structure for forming a contact window opening for allowing access to the semiconductor structure, and filling the contact window opening with stud material so as to contact the semiconductor structure for forming the stud.
摘要:
An improved process for preparing selective deposition of conductive metals on disilicide encroachment barriers allows the construction of integrated circuit components wherein the metal/disilicide interface is substantially free of O and/or F contamination. The level of interfacial oxygen and/or fluorine contamination in the selective W deposition on the TiSi.sub.2 was substantially reduced or eliminated by first forming a C49 TiSi.sub.2 phase on a substrate, selectively depositiong W on the C49 TiSi.sub.2 phase and thereafter annealing a a (minimum) temperature sufficient to convert the high resistivity phase C49 TiSi.sub.2 to the low resistivity phase C54 TiSi.sub.2.
摘要:
A process for making borderless contacts through an insulating layer to active regions of a semiconductor device is disclosed. After deposition of a silicon nitride layer and an insulation glass layer on a substrate coating semiconductor devices, the contact windows are etched. The windows are etched through the glass layer with BCl.sub.2 or CHF.sub.3 /CF.sub.4 etch gases. Next, the windows are etched through the silicon nitride with CH.sub.3 F or O.sub.2 /CHF.sub.3 gases.
摘要:
A method for providing increased dopant concentration in selected regions of semiconductors by providing field implant dopant in the transition region located below the "bird's beak" region and between the field and active regions of a semiconductor. The method comprises the steps of: forming a thin insulating layer on the surface of a semiconductor substrate; depositing a thin anti-oxidant layer on the insulating layer; depositing a layer of photoresist on the anti-oxidant layer; selectively etching the anti-oxidant layer; ion-implanting the field region of the semiconductor substrate; providing spacers on the sides of the anti-oxidant layer; and oxidizing the semiconductor substrate.

A composition and method for anistropically etching polysilicon or silicides with excellent selectivity to an underlying layer of an oxide or nitride of silicon is disclosed. A mixture of CClF.sub.3 or CCl.sub.2 F.sub.2 and ammonia is employed at moderate pressures in a reactive ion etching chamber.
