    摘要: An n-FET and a p-FET each have elevated source/drain structures. Optionally, the p-FET elevated-SOURCE/DRAIN structure is epitaxially grown from a p-FET recess formed in the substrate. Optionally, the n-FET elevated-SOURCE/DRAIN structure is epitaxially grown from an n-FET recess formed in the substrate. The n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures are both silicided, even though the structures may have different materials and/or different structure heights. At least a thermal treatment portion of the source/drain structure siliciding is performed simultaneously for the n-FET and p-FET elevated source/drain structures. Also, the p-FET gate electrode, the n-FET gate electrode, or both, may optionally be silicided simultaneously (same metal and/or same thermal treatment step) with the n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures, respectively; even though the gate electrodes may have different materials, different silicide metal, and/or different electrode heights. The silicides formed on n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures preferably do not extend below a top surface of the substrate more than about 250 angstroms; and the structure heights may be selected to provide this.

    摘要: Good quality fusion splicing of optical fibers with very different melting points (even 800° C. and 1800° C.) can be achieved by heating the end (3) of the fiber of lower melting point to a substantial extent (preferably entirely) by conduction from the pre-heated end (4) of the fiber of higher melting point. Preheating is suitably by a laser with its beam (15) centered close to the interface between the two fibers (or slightly displaced in the direction of the fiber of higher melting point if the intensity of the beam is relatively evenly spread) using a screen (13) to shade the fiber of lower melting point from the beam.
