    摘要: A method for producing predetermined shapes in a crystalline Si-containing material that have substantially uniform straight sides or edges and well-defined inside and outside corners is provided together with the structure that is formed utilizing the method of the present invention. The inventive method utilizes conventional photolithography and etching to transfer a pattern, i.e., shape, to a crystalline Si-containing material. Since conventional processing is used, the patterns have the inherent limitations of rounded corners. A selective etching process utilizing a solution of diluted ammonium hydroxide is used to eliminate the rounded corners providing a final shape that has substantially straight sides or edges and substantially rounded corners.

    摘要: A method for forming a self-aligned, dual silicon nitride liner for CMOS devices includes forming a first type nitride layer over a first polarity type device and a second polarity type device, and forming a topographic layer over the first type nitride layer. Portions of the first type nitride layer and the topographic layer over the second polarity type device are patterned and removed. A second type nitride layer is formed over the second polarity type device, and over remaining portions of the topographic layer over the first polarity type device so as to define a vertical pillar of second type nitride material along a sidewall of the topographic layer, the second type nitride layer in contact with a sidewall of the first type nitride layer. The topographic layer is removed and the vertical pillar is removed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to high performance three-dimensional (3D) field effect transistors (FETs). Specifically, a 3D semiconductor structure having a bottom surface oriented along one of a first set of equivalent crystal planes and multiple additional surfaces oriented along a second, different set of equivalent crystal planes can be used to form a high performance 3D FET with carrier channels oriented along the second, different set of equivalent crystal planes. More importantly, such a 3D semiconductor structure can be readily formed over the same substrate with an additional 3D semiconductor structure having a bottom surface and multiple additional surfaces all oriented along the first set of equivalent crystal planes. The additional 3D semiconductor structure can be used to form an additional 3D FET, which is complementary to the above-described 3D FET and has carrier channels oriented along the first set of equivalent crystal planes.

    摘要: An improved semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate is provided, which contains a patterned buried insulator layer at varying depths. Specifically, the SOI substrate has a substantially planar upper surface and comprises: (1) first regions that do not contain any buried insulator, (2) second regions that contain first portions of the patterned buried insulator layer at a first depth (i.e., measured from the planar upper surface of the SOI substrate), and (3) third regions that contain second portions of the patterned buried insulator layer at a second depth, where the first depth is larger than the second depth. One or more field effect transistors (FETs) can be formed in the SOI substrate. For example, the FETs may comprise: channel regions in the first regions of the SOI substrate, source and drain regions in the second regions of the SOI substrate, and source/drain extension regions in the third regions of the SOI substrate.

    摘要: A thermoplastic complex comprises an emulsified hydrophobic thermoplastic polymer and a complexing agent. The thermoplastic complex can formed by pre-mixing an emulsified hydrophobic thermoplastic polymer with a complexing agent to form a paste-like complex. The thermoplastic complex can then be dispersed in a water-fiber suspension in the wet-end section of a tissuemaking process. The fibers in the water-fiber suspension retain a substantial amount of the complex. A fibrous web can be formed comprising the treated fibers, which can then be converted into a tissue product that exhibits improved softness with minimized slough.
