  • Patent number: 11091781
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fixing carbon using bacteria are described. In one embodiment, a system includes a reactor chamber with a solution contained therein. The solution may include hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2), bioavailable nitrogen, and a chemolithoautotrophic bacteria. The system may also include a pair of electrodes that split water contained within the solution to form the hydrogen. Additionally, the system may be operated so that a concentration of the bioavailable nitrogen in the solution is below a threshold nitrogen concentration to cause the chemolithoautotrophic bacteria to produce a product.

  • Patent number: 11060182
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the device are disclosed. The method of forming a metal layer includes: placing a substrate in a sputtering chamber; forming a first metal sub-layer on the substrate by performing a magnetron sputtering process; and forming a second metal sub-layer on the first metal sub-layer by performing another magnetron sputtering process and concurrently introducing a heated gas stream in the sputtering chamber, wherein the first metal sub-layer and the second metal sub-layer together constitute the metal layer and are each formed of aluminum doped with copper. The metal layer resulting from this method contains uniformly-sized small crystal grains separated from one another by minimal gaps between their grain boundaries. This imparts to the metal layer high surface flatness with fewer undesired bumps and hence good appearance, resulting in an increase in its yield.
