    摘要: Methods of annealing a thin semiconductor wafer are disclosed. The methods allow for high-temperature annealing of one side of a thin semiconductor wafer without damaging or overheating heat-sensitive electronic device features that are either on the other side of the wafer or embedded within the wafer. The annealing is performed at a temperature below the melting point of the wafer so that no significant dopant redistribution occurs during the annealing process. The methods can be applied to activating dopants or to forming ohmic contacts.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to nonvolatile memory devices and methods for manufacturing such memory devices. The methods for forming improved memory devices, such as a ReRAM cells, provide optimized, atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for forming a metal oxide film stack having a metal oxide buffer layer disposed on or over a metal oxide bulk layer. The metal oxide bulk layer contains a metal-rich oxide material and the metal oxide buffer layer contains a metal-poor oxide material. The metal oxide bulk layer is less electrically resistive than the metal oxide buffer layer since the metal oxide bulk layer is less oxidized or more metallic than the metal oxide buffer layer. In one example, the metal oxide bulk layer contains a metal-rich hafnium oxide material and the metal oxide buffer layer contains a metal-poor zirconium oxide material.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of optical precision measurement technologies, and in particular, to a method and a device of differential confocal (confocal) and interference measurement for multiple parameters of an element. The core concept of the invention lies in that: the concurrent high-precision measurement of multiple parameters of an element may be realized by measuring the surface curvature radius of an element with spherical surface, the back focal length of a lens, the refractive index of a lens, the thickness of a lens and the axial spaces of an assembled lenses by using a differential confocal (confocal) measuring system and measuring the surface profile of the element by using a figure interference measuring system. In the invention, a differential confocal (confocal) detection system and a figure interference measuring system are combined for the first time, the method covers more measured parameters, and during the measurement of multiple parameters of an element, it is not essential to readjust the optical path or disassemble the test element, thus no damage will be caused on the test element, and the measurement speed will be fast.
