    摘要: Exemplary embodiments provide IC CMOS devices having dual stress layers and methods for their manufacture using a buffer layer stack between the two types of the stress layers. The buffer layer stack can include multiple buffer layers formed between a first type stress layer (e.g., a tensile stress layer) and a second type stress layer (e.g., a compressive stress layer) during the CMOS fabrication. Specifically, the buffer layer stack can be formed after the etching process of the first type stress layer but prior to the etching process of the second type stress layer, and thus to protect the etched first type stress layer during the subsequent etching process of the overlaid second type stress layer. In addition, a portion of the buffer layer stack can be formed between, for example, the compressive stress layer and the underlying PMOS device to enhance their adhesion.

    摘要: A method (100) of forming a transistor includes forming a gate structure (106, 108) over a semiconductor body and forming recesses (112) substantially aligned to the gate structure in the semiconductor body. Silicon germanium is then epitaxially grown (114) in the recesses, followed by forming sidewall spacers (118) over lateral edges of the gate structure. The method continues by implanting source and drain regions in the semiconductor body (120) after forming the sidewall spacers. The silicon germanium formed in the recesses resides close to the transistor channel and serves to provide a compressive stress to the channel, thereby facilitating improved carrier mobility in PMOS type transistor devices.

    摘要: This invention relates to a new and distinct spring bearing red raspberry cultivar named `Lauren` which is capable of producing large fruit of floricanes that ripen 1 to 3 weeks earlier than `Titan`, the only other large fruited cultivar grown in the eastern United States, and several days to weeks earlier than most standard cultivars currently in widespread use. The cultivar is characterized by its moderate suckering ability, its conic, smooth and symmetrical fruit. Additionally, its canes are upright and vigorous, and it does not normally produce a fall crop.

    摘要: System for dynamically tracking a position of a target with an antenna in a communication system. The system includes an antenna system (410) configured for generating a sum and difference antenna pattern (201-1, 201-2). A sum RF channel (401) is coupled to a sum channel output of the antenna system. A difference RF channel (402) is coupled to a difference channel output of the antenna system. An RF coupler (422-1) is provided that has a first input coupled to the sum RF channel and a second input coupled to the RF difference channel. One or more coupling control devices (418-1, 418-2) selectively vary an effective coupling value as between the difference channel and the sum channel. An antenna tracking error signal is generated at an output of the coupler.

    摘要: A method of forming a gate electrode (24′) for a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit is disclosed. A hardmask layer (26), for example formed of silicon-rich nitride, is deposited over a polysilicon layer (24) from which the gate electrode (24′) is to be formed. An anti-reflective coating, or bottom anti-reflective coating or BARC, layer (29) is then formed over the hardmask layer (26), and photoresist (30) is photolithographically patterned to define the pattern of the gate electrode (24′), although to a wider, photolithographic, width (LW). The pattern is transferred from the photoresist (30) to the BARC layer (29). The remaining elements of the BARC layer (29) are then trimmed, preferably by a timed isotropic etch, to a sub-lithographic width (SW). This pattern is then transferred to the hardmask layer (26) by an anisotropic etch of that layer, using the trimmed BARC elements (29) as a mask. The hardmask layer elements (26′) then mask the etch of the underlying polysilicon layer (24), to define the gate electrodes (24′), having gate widths that are narrower than the minimum dimension available through photolithography.
