    Abstract: Rechargeable wafer carrier systems and methods are provided. A rechargeable wafer carrier system includes, for instance, a housing for holding at least one wafer and at least one electronics system therein, a rechargeable power source operably connected to the housing for powering the at least one electronics system, and a charging interface for receiving a supply of power for charging the rechargeable power source. The housing may be configured for transport within an automated material handling system. Also provided are methods of charging a rechargeable wafer carrier system, which includes, for instance, providing a rechargeable wafer carrier system having at least one electronics system and a rechargeable power source, operably connecting the rechargeable wafer carrier system to a charging base, and supplying power from the charging base to the rechargeable power source.

    Abstract: Measurement of thickness of layers of a circuit structure is obtained, where the thickness of the layers is measured using an optical critical dimension (OCD) measurement technique, and the layers includes a high-k layer and an interfacial layer. Measurement of thickness of the high-k layer is separately obtained, where the thickness of the high-k layer is measured using a separate measurement technique from the OCD measurement technique. The separate measurement technique provides greater decoupling, as compared to the OCD measurement technique, of a signal for thickness of the high-k layer from a signal for thickness of the interfacial layer of the layers. Characteristics of the circuit structure, such as a thickness of the interfacial layer, are ascertained using, in part, the separately obtained thickness measurement of the high-k layer.

    Abstract: Performance of a FinFET is enhanced through a structure that exerts physical stress on the channel. The stress is achieved by a combination of tungsten contacts for the source and drain, epitaxially grown raised source and raised drain, and manipulation of aspects of the tungsten contact deposition resulting in enhancement of the inherent stress of tungsten. The stress can further be enhanced by epitaxially re-growing the portion of the raised source and drain removed by etching trenches for the contacts and/or etching deeper trenches (and corresponding longer contacts) below a surface of the fin.
