  • Patent number: 11955553
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to using an implantation process and a melting anneal process performed on a nanosecond scale to achieve a high surface concentration (surface pile up) dopant profile and a retrograde dopant profile simultaneously. In an embodiment, a method includes forming a source/drain structure in an active area on a substrate, the source/drain structure including a first region comprising germanium, implanting a first dopant into the first region of the source/drain structure to form an amorphous region in at least the first region of the source/drain structure, implanting a second dopant into the amorphous region containing the first dopant, and heating the source/drain structure to liquidize and convert at least the amorphous region into a crystalline region, the crystalline region containing the first dopant and the second dopant.

  • Patent number: 11243092
    Abstract: One or more processors track internet usage of a user. The tracking includes tracking a first user input into one or more websites using a keylogging subprogram. One or more processors analyze the first user input. Analyzing the first user input includes using machine learning to gain knowledge of one or more interests of the first user based on the first user input. One or more processors determine a proximity of the first user to at least one point of interest within a first threshold distance of the first user while the first user is mobile, match at least one interest of the one or more interests of the first user with one or more interests associated with the at least one point of interest, and provide a notification that the first user is within the first threshold distance of the at least one point of interest.
