Abstract:
An oxide layer formed by deposition is subject to a treatment process to repair bond defects of the oxide layer. In one embodiment, the layer is treated with nitric oxide. In one embodiment, a nitric oxide gas is flowed over the dielectric layer at an elevated temperature. In still another embodiment, the oxide layer is treated with fluorine. A layer is deposited over the oxide layer and a species containing fluorine is ion implanted into the layer. The wafer is heated where the species is driven to the oxide layer.
Abstract:
A metal oxide high-k dielectric is deposited on a semiconductor wafer in a manner that reduces dangling bonds in the dielectric without significantly thickening interfacial oxide thickness. A metal oxide precursor and radical oxygen and/or radical nitrogen are co-flowed over the semiconductor wafer to form the high-k dielectric. The radicals bond to dangling bonds of the metal of the metal oxide during the deposition process that is performed at the regular deposition temperature of less than about 400 degrees Celsius. The radical oxygen and radical nitrogen do not require the higher temperatures generally required in an anneal in order to attach to the dangling bonds of the metal. Thus, a high temperature post deposition anneal, which tends to cause interfacial oxide growth, is not required. The dielectric is of higher quality than is typical because the dangling bonds are removed during deposition rather than after the dielectric has been deposited.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, etc. for providing a visual expression of the performance of one or more blood glucose sensors. In one particular example, a relative comparison of a rate of change sensor blood glucose and a rate of change in reference blood glucose may be expressed in a polar plot or graph. The polar plot or graph may then be generated onto a visual medium.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a robust method to control interactive media using gestures. A method of controlling a multimedia device, using face detection and (hot spot) motion, providing robust accuracy in issued commands, wherein the method involves the following steps: extracting a hot spot area using a current captured image (Ci), calculate and analyze the difference between the current captured image (Ci) and a previous captured image (Ci−1), resulting in Di, applying an erosion on the Di to remove small areas, applying extracted (hot spot) motion areas as masks to filter out non-hot spot area motion, add Di to build a motion image, find the largest x, y and the smallest x, y coordinates of all the detected motion connected components, denote each as Ix, Iy, sx and sy, and perform an algorithm to determine if a hand gesture represents a command to control a multimedia device.
