Publication number: 20040259321Abstract: By providing a thermal protocol that involves two steps prior to any isolation steps in a metal oxide semiconductor process, induced stress may be reduced between the bulk silicon and overlying areas, such as epitaxial layers. As a result, the dislocations in the overlying area may be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2003Publication date: December 23, 2004Inventors: Mehran Aminzadeh, Sergei Koveshnikov

Patent number: 6649529Abstract: A method is described for improving the exposure focus for modern steppers used in the lithography of semiconductor substrates such as wafers. A wafer is sawed from a semiconductor ingot in a particular direction relative to a reference point on the ingot. As a result of the sawing, a series of raised and recessed formations manifest on the surface of the wafer. After various layers have been added to the wafer and the photoresist layer is ready to be removed, the wafer is aligned with the stepper so that a dynamic focus area of the stepper is aligned with the formations and/or the sawing direction. Such alignment improves the critical dimension control and reduces variability in printing small geometry features during lithography, resulting in higher yields.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2001Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Mehran Aminzadeh, Michael R.

Patent number: 5929812Abstract: The invention consists of a flat mobile antenna for frequencies in the GHz-range. The flat antenna comprises first and second partial surface segments made from electrically conductive material, and separated from each other by a gap. The antenna also comprises a ground plane surface spaced substantially parallel to, and arranged below the first and second partial surface segments. The first and second partial segments are connected to the ground plane surface by two short-circuit-like conductors at a right angle. Connected to the second partial segment is a coaxial antenna cable having a center conductor and an outer shield conductor. The outer shield conductor is connected to the ground plane surface, and the center conductor is connected to the second partial surface segment at an input feed point, forming a galvanic connection.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1997Date of Patent: July 27, 1999Assignee: FUBA Automotive GmbHInventor: Mehran Aminzadeh

Patent number: 5818394Abstract: A flat antenna for mounting on windowpanes of motor vehicles reduces the dimensions of the mass reference area of the mass plane, and the structural height without unfavorably influencing the functions and operating parameters of the antenna. The mass reference area has a trough-like shape, is centrally positioned under an aerial segment, and has conductive coating impermeable to the operating frequency of the antenna. The inside and outside conductors of the coaxial feed cable are connected to the aerial segment and mass reference area shifted to outside the aerial elements and thereby enables a significant reduction in overall dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1997Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: FUBA Automotive GmbHInventors: Mehran Aminzadeh, Manfred Burkert, Michael Daginnus, Shun-Ping Chen
