摘要： A method for utilizing interference fringe patterns generated when milling a trench through a semiconductor substrate by a method such as FIB milling, to determine and optimize the thickness uniformity of the trench bottom. The interference fringes may be mapped and the mapping used to direct the FIB milling to those regions which are thicker to correct observed non-uniformities in the trench floor thickness by varying the pixel dwell time across the milled area. The interference fringe mapping may be used to develop computerized contour lines to automate the pixel dwell time variations as described above, for correcting non-uniformities in the trench floor thickness. The method may be applied to applications other than trench formation for backside editing, such as monitoring progress in forming a milled object.

摘要： A queuing system to notify customers of the status of requested service includes an input terminal operated by a service advisor. The service advisor communicates with each customer, and enters service parameters for customer service. The service advisor's input terminal is coupled by a computer network to a remote server which computes service completion data. The queuing system includes a display monitor coupled to the remote server by the computer network to display queue status in a customer waiting area. Notifications can also be sent via email or text message to a customer's mobile wireless device. Also disclosed is a method for informing customers of queue status that displays a service status on a display monitor in a waiting room, and which optionally transmits service status to a customer's mobile wireless device or networked computer.

摘要： Apparatus and method for exposing a selected feature of an integrated circuit device such as a selected portion of the metallization layer, from the backside of the integrated circuit substrate without disturbing adjacent features of the device such as the active semiconductor regions. This is performed using an FIB (focused ion beam) etching process in conjunction with observation by an optical microscope to form a trench through the substrate. The floor of the trench is formed so as to be as smooth and planar as possible, thereby preventing undesirable exposure of the underlying active regions through any unknown or undesired cavity caused by scratches or pits or a deeper than desired sidewall. The smoothness and planarity of the floor of the trench is established by, prior to forming the trench, removing any surface defect initially present by using an FIB etching without use of assist gas to eliminate most scratches or impurities on the surface of the silicon, followed by removal of implanted ions using a gas-injected assisted FIB etch. Then the actual trench is formed using an assisted etch using a more aggressive injected gas.

摘要： Identification of new enhancer sequence has significant utility in the plant functional genomics. The sugarcane bacilliform badnavirus (SCBV) transcriptional enhancer has been identified. This enhancer can be used to increase the rate of transcription from gene promoters and in activation tagging experiments. A ten-fold increase in transcription was observed when a 4× array of the SCBV enhancer was placed upstream of a truncated form of the maize alcohol dehydrogenase minimal promoter. Methods of using the SCBV transcriptional enhancer are described, as are chimeric transcription regulatory regions, constructs, cells, tissues, and organisms that comprise one or more copies of the enhancer.
