摘要:
A conductive strap structure in lateral contact with a top semiconductor layer is formed on an inner electrode of a deep trench capacitor. A cavity overlying the conductive strap structure is filled a dielectric material to form a dielectric capacitor cap having a top surface that is coplanar with a topmost surface of an upper pad layer. A semiconductor mandrel in lateral contact with the dielectric capacitor cap is formed. The combination of the dielectric capacitor cap and the semiconductor mandrel is employed as a protruding structure around which a fin-defining spacer is formed. The semiconductor mandrel is removed, and the fin-defining spacer is employed as an etch mask in an etch process that etches a lower pad layer and the top semiconductor layer to form a semiconductor fin that laterally wraps around the conductive strap structure. An access finFET is formed employing two parallel portions of the semiconductor fin.

Combinations of agents that have a synergistic effect for the treatment of a tumor are disclosed herein. These combinations of agents can be used to treat tumors, wherein the cells of the cancer express a mutated BRAF. Methods are disclosed for treating a subject diagnosed with a tumor that expresses a mutated BRAF. The methods include administering to the subject (1) a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof that specifically binds glucose regulated protein (GRP) 94; and (2) a therapeutically effective amount of a BRAF inhibitor. In some embodiments, the tumor is melanoma. In some embodiments the method includes selecting a subject with primary or secondary resistance to a BRAF inhibitor. In further embodiments, treating the tumor comprises decreasing the metastasis of the tumor. In additional embodiments, the BRAF inhibitor comprises PLX4032 or PLX4720.

A complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) structure includes a substrate and a P-type field effect transistor (FET) and an N-type FET disposed adjacent to one another on the substrate. Each FET includes a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) region, a gate electrode disposed on the SOI region, a source stressor, and a drain stressor disposed across from the source stressor relative to the gate electrode, wherein proximities of the source stressor and the drain stressor to a channel of a respective FET are substantially equal.

The present invention discloses a method for implementing a handover in a local switch, and the method includes: a core network transmitting indication information to a source base station subsystem during any terminal of communication parties which carries out a local switch is performing a base station subsystem handover, and the source base station subsystem determining whether to transmit user-plane speech data received from a media gateway to the terminal which has not performed the base station subsystem handover, or to transmit the user-plane speech data received from an internal link to the terminal which has not performed the base station subsystem handover, according to the indication information. The present invention also discloses a system for implementing a handover in a local switch as well as a base station subsystem.

Isolated monoclonal antibodies are disclosed herein that specifically bind endoplasmin. In some embodiments these antibodies are fully human. Recombinant nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, expression vectors including these nucleic acids, and host cells transformed with these expression vectors are also disclosed herein. In several embodiments the disclosed antibodies are of use for detecting and/or treating tumors that express endoplasmin, such as melanoma, breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, renal cancer, lung cancer, glioma, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer or pancreatic cancer. In one example, the tumor is a melanoma.

The present invention provides peptide mimics for GD3 ganglioside. The peptide mimics were identified by panning phage display peptide libraries with an anti-GD3 monoclonal antibody. The peptide mimics inhibit the binding of an anti-GD3 antibody to GD3 positive cells and also elicit antibodies which can bind to GD3 positive cells. The identified peptide mimics can be used as immunogens for cancer therapy.
摘要:
A chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) system and method includes pumping polishing slurry from a CMP apparatus through a sampling tube to an endpoint detection apparatus during a polishing operation, and flushing the sampling tube while a polishing operation is not in progress. The flushing of the sampling tube is commenced in accordance with a control signal from the endpoint detection apparatus terminating the polishing operation; the flushing is terminated in accordance with a starting signal to the CMP apparatus. The pump, which pumps a sample of slurry into the endpoint detection apparatus, continuously pumps slurry and/or water. Clogging of the slurry sampling tube is thus eliminated, thereby ensuring robust operation of the CMP apparatus. Contamination of the sampling tube is also avoided, so that the system may reliably provide sensitive endpoint detection and process control, even when a film of low pattern density is polished.
