摘要:
The hybrid solar air-conditioning system includes an air intake having an air drying system that uses a liquid desiccant to dry ambient air, a desiccant regeneration system that uses a heat exchanger having oil heated by solar energy to remove water from the desiccant, an indirect evaporative air conditioner that uses an air-air heat exchanger to cool the dried air indirectly with evaporatively cooled air, a distilled water recovery system to recover water from the desiccant and from the evaporatively cooled air in the form of distilled water, and a microprocessor-based controller to control room temperature and relative humidity, and to regulate air intake and the flow of desiccant and oil in the system. The hybrid system enables the use of evaporative cooling in regions having high humidity.

The multi-phase flow metering system facilitates the measurement of the flow of oil, gas, and/or other materials from one or more producing petroleum wells. The system has an expansion chamber to separate liquid and as phases. The gas rises through a pipe extending from the top of the expansion chamber. Liquids flow from the bottom of the expansion chamber through a generally U-shaped line having a sediment trap therein. Separate metering devices are provided in the gas outflow line and in the liquid line for accurately measuring the flow of each phase, and in the inlet line for measuring temperature, pressure, and flow at that point. The system includes float valves at the inlet to the gas outflow line and at the liquid phase outlet to control flow through the system. The gas outflow line may continue as a separate line, or reconnect to the liquid outflow line.

A shallow trench isolation is disclosed wherein the trench depth is reduced beyond that achieved in prior art processes. The reduced trench depth helps to eliminate the formation of voids during the trench refill process and provides for greater planarity in the final isolation structure. Effective device isolation is achieved with a reduced trench depth by utilizing refilling dielectric materials having low dielectric constant.

A barrier layer comprising silicon mixed with an impurity is disclosed for protection of gate dielectrics in integrated transistors. In particular, the barrier layer comprises silicon incorporating nitrogen. The nitrogen can be incorporated into an upper portion of the gate polysilicon during deposition, or a silicon layer doped with nitrogen after silicon deposition. The layer is of particular utility in conjunction with CVD tungsten silicide straps.

An integrated circuit, including a substrate with circuitry formed therein, where the substrate has a peripheral edge. Also included are a top most electrically conductive layer and an underlying electrically conductive layer. Outer bonding pads are disposed in an outer ring, and are formed within the top most layer. Inner bonding pads are disposed in an inner ring, and are formed within the top most layer. Inner connectors electrically connect the inner bonding pads to the circuitry. The inner connectors are formed within the underlying layer, and have a width that is less than the width of the inner bonding pads, thereby defining a gap between the inner connectors. Outer connectors electrically connect the outer bonding pads to the circuitry. The outer connectors are formed within the underlying layer, and have a width that is less than the width of the gap between the inner connectors.

摘要:
A capacitor is fabricated on a semiconductor substrate by first forming a first capacitor electrode on the semiconductor substrate and forming a planar insulating layer over the first capacitor electrode. A photoresist layer is then formed over the planar insulating layer and patterned utilizing in only masking step to form an opening over the first capacitor electrode. Through the opening, the planar insulating layer is etched, and a capacitor dielectric layer is thereafter formed. A second capacitor electrode is then formed over the capacitor dielectric layer in alignment with the first capacitor electrode. The structure is planarized to expose the planar insulating layer. In a preferred embodiment, a trench in the second capacitor electrode is protected during planarization by a spin-on photoresist that is stripped following planarization.
摘要:
A process for grading the junctions of a lightly doped drain (LDD) N-channel MOSFET by performing a low dosage phosphorous implant after low and high dosage arsenic implants have been performed during the creation of the N- LDD regions and N+ source and drain electrodes. The phosphorous implant is driven to diffuse across both the electrode/LDD junctions and the LDD/channel junctions.
摘要:
A process for making thin gate oxides comprising the layering of a semiconductor substrate with at least an oxide layer and a nitride layer. The layers are then patterned and etched, thereby exposing portions of the substrate. The substrate is then doped, thereby creating a channel stop region. The exposed portions of the substrate are oxidized, thereby creating a field oxide region. The oxide and nitride layers are removed, thereby exposing sites of active areas, and a gate oxide layer grown in an ozone-containing atmosphere.
