Abstract:
A semiconductor structure, such as a CMOS semiconductor structure, includes a field effect device that includes a plurality of source and drain regions that are asymmetric. Such a source region and drain region asymmetry is induced by fabricating the semiconductor structure using a semiconductor substrate that includes a horizontal plateau region contiguous with and adjoining a sloped incline region. Within the context of a CMOS semiconductor structure, such a semiconductor substrate allows for fabrication of a pFET and an nFET upon different crystallographic orientation semiconductor regions, while one of the pFET and the nFET (i.e., typically the pFET) has asymmetric source and drain regions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to improved metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) devices with stress-inducing structures located at the source and drain (S/D) regions. Specifically, each MOSFET comprises source and drain regions located in a semiconductor substrate. Such source and drain regions comprise recesses with one or more sidewall surfaces that are slanted in relation to an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. A stress-inducing dielectric layer is located over the slanted sidewall surfaces of the recesses at the source and drain regions. Such MOSFETs can be readily formed by crystallographic etching of the semiconductor substrate to form the recesses with the slanted sidewall surfaces, followed by deposition of a stress-inducing dielectric layer thereover.

Abstract:
A raised source/drain field effect transistor has a surface of a raised source/drain that tapers downward in a direction of a gate electrode that is also included within the field effect transistor. The downward tapered surface is preferably an end surface. Due to the downward taper, the field effect transistor has a reduced gate to raised source/drain region capacitance. The downward taper also facilitates forming a halo region within the field effect transistor. Due to the raised source/drain, a silicide layer may be included within the raised source/drain region absent silicide penetration through a thin junction within an intrinsic source/drain region also included within the raised source/drain region.

Notes may be shared in an online meeting with online meeting attendees through a software application associated with organizing an online meeting, for example, online meeting software, calendaring software, note-taking software, or the like. Notes may be created and/or shared before, during, and/or after the online meeting by meeting attendees. Meeting attendees may be notified when notes are shared for the online meeting. Notes may be shared with items of the software application associated with organizing the online meeting. For example, notes may be shared in online meeting software with the online meeting. Notes may be shared among items of different software applications, for example, notes shared in the online meeting software may be automatically shared with a calendar item in a calendaring software application.
Abstract:
A stormwater filtration system suitable for treatment of stormwater runoff in a developed environment uses a primary treatment bay that includes a filtration bed with live plant matter. A second treatment bay treats water that exceeds the maximum throughput of the primary bay. A reservoir stores treated runoff to water the plants during dry weather. Removable trays on the surface of the primary filtration bed provide plants suitable for ground cover. Additional bays expand the filtration bed throughput and accommodate extended root systems. A flow control may be provided for the primary treatment bay.
Abstract:
An interactive method, a user terminal and a communication system am provided for multimedia message services. The method comprises the steps of receiving a multimedia message from a server; generating a page displaying or playing the multimedia message at a user terminal, wherein one or more controllers are embedded into the displayed or played multimedia message and associations between said controllers are defined; and triggering at least one action event and performing a corresponding action in response to the operations of one or more controllers. A response message fed back to the server is automatically generated at the user terminal, and an optimized multimedia message interface is provided for the user, a local interaction and a interaction between the terminal and the back end service can be flexibly realized.
