The probe includes a second portion which rotates relative to the conduit to redirect the energy from the conduit. A method for imaging a patient. The method includes the steps of inserting a catheter into the patient. There is the step of rotating a second portion of the catheter relative to a conduit extending through a first portion of the catheter, which redirects the energy transmitted through the conduit to the patient and receives the energy reflected back to the second portion from the patient and redirects the reflected energy to the conduit.

Semiconductor devices are fabricated using a plasma process with a non-silane gas that includes deuterium, and which may result in improved device reliability and/or other improved device operational characteristics. One such method can include forming a gate oxide layer on a transistor region, which is defined on a substrate, and forming a gate electrode on the gate oxide layer. An etch stop layer is formed on the gate oxide layer and the gate electrode. A plasma process is performed on the interface between the gate oxide layer and the substrate using a non-silane treatment gas including deuterium. An interlayer dielectric layer is formed on the etch stop layer. A bottom metal line is formed on the interlayer dielectric layer.

摘要:
Disclosed are processes and techniques for fabricating semiconductor substrates for the manufacture of semiconductor devices, particularly CMOS devices, that include selectively formed, high quality single crystal or monocrystalline surface regions exhibiting different crystal orientations. At least one of the surface regions will incorporate at least one faceted epitaxial semiconductor structure having surfaces that exhibit a crystal orientation different than the semiconductor region on which the faceted epitaxial semiconductor structure is formed. According, the crystal orientation in the channel regions of the NMOS and/or PMOS devices may be configured to improve the relative performance of at least one of the devices and allow corresponding redesign of the semiconductor devices fabricated using such a process.
摘要:
In methods of selectively forming an epitaxial semiconductor layer on a single crystalline semiconductor and semiconductor devices fabricated using the same, a single crystalline epitaxial semiconductor layer and a non-single crystalline epitaxial semiconductor layer are formed on a single crystalline semiconductor and a non-single crystalline semiconductor pattern respectively, using a main semiconductor source gas and a main etching gas. The non-single crystalline epitaxial semiconductor layer is removed using a selective etching gas. The main gases and the selective etching gas are alternately and repeatedly supplied at least two times to selectively form an elevated single crystalline epitaxial semiconductor layer having a desired thickness only on the single crystalline semiconductor. The selective etching gas suppresses formation of an epitaxial semiconductor layer on the non-single crystalline semiconductor pattern.
摘要:
Methods of fabricating semiconductor integrated circuit devices are provided. A substrate is provided with gate patterns formed on first and second regions. Spaces between gate patterns on the first region are narrower than spaces between gate patterns on the second region. Source/drain trenches are formed in the substrate on opposite sides of the gate patterns on the first and second regions. A first silicon-germanium (SiGe) epitaxial layer is formed that partially fills the source/drain trenches using a first silicon source gas. A second SiGe epitaxial layer is formed directly on the first SiGe epitaxial layer to further fill the source/drain trenches using a second silicon source gas that is different from the first silicon source gas.
摘要:
A semiconductor device having a locally buried insulation layer and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having the same are provided, in which a gate electrode is formed on a substrate, and oxygen ions are implanted into an active region to form a locally buried insulation layer. An impurity layer is formed on the locally buried insulation layer to form a source/drain. A silicide layer is formed on the source/drain and on the gate electrode. The locally buried insulation layer can prevent junction leakage, decrease junction capacitance and prevent a critical voltage of an MOS transistor from increasing due to body bias, thereby to improve characteristics of the device.
