  • Patent number: 11195145
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating blockchain ledgers of material spectral signatures for supply chain integrity management are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises validating, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, spectral signature data associated with a material, resulting in validated spectral signature data; and generating, by the device, a set of information corresponding to a transaction of the material in a blockchain associated with the material, wherein the set of information is related to the validated spectral signature data. In some embodiments, the computer-implemented method further comprises authenticating, by the device, a first party device associated with a first party to the transaction and a second party device associated with a second party to the transaction and including identities of the first party and the second party as indicated by the respective party devices in the set of information.

  • Patent number: 7790566
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for preparing a surface of a Group III-Group V compound semiconductor for epitaxial deposition. The III-V semiconductor surface is treated with boron (B) at a temperature of between about 250° C. and about 350° C. A suitable form for supplying B for the surface treatment is diborane. The B treatment can be followed by epitaxial growth, for instance by a Group IV semiconductor, at temperatures similar to those of the B treatment. The method yields high quality heterojunction, suitable for fabricating a large variety of device structures.

  • Patent number: 7745863
    Abstract: A method of forming an integrated ferroelectric/CMOS structure which effectively separates incompatible high temperature deposition and annealing processes is provided. The method of the present invention includes separately forming a CMOS structure and a ferroelectric delivery wafer. These separate structures are then brought into contact with each and the ferroelectric film of the delivery wafer is bonded to the upper conductive electrode layer of the CMOS structure by using a low temperature anneal step. A portion of the delivery wafer is then removed providing an integrated FE/CMOS structure wherein the ferroelectric capacitor is formed on top of the CMOS structure. The capacitor is in contact with the transistor of the CMOS structure through all the wiring levels of the CMOS structure.
