Publication number: 20240153774Abstract: A method of doping a substrate may include exposing a substrate surface of the semiconductor substrate to a plasma clean, performing a deposition of a dopant layer on the substrate surface using a plasma source, after the plasma clean, the dopant layer comprising a dopant element; and exposing the substrate to an implant process when the dopant layer is disposed on the substrate surface, wherein the implant process introduces an ion species comprising the dopant element into the substrate, wherein the substrate is maintained under vacuum over a process duration spanning the plasma clean, the deposition of the dopant layer, and the implant process, and wherein at least a portion of the dopant layer is implanted into the substrate during the implant process.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Christopher R. Hatem, Michael Noel Kennedy, Joseph C. Olson, Edmund G. Seebauer

Patent number: 11938235Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a self-sanitizing structure that includes a body region having a contact surface that can be contacted by a person during an intended use of the self-sanitizing structure. The self-sanitizing structure further includes an energy source configured to generate electromagnetic radiation and direct the electromagnetic radiation through the body region to the contact surface. The body region is configured to scatter the electromagnetic radiation and pass the scattered electromagnetic radiation to the contact surface in a manner that maintains the scattered electromagnetic radiation that reaches the contact surface as sanitizing electromagnetic radiation. The sanitizing electromagnetic radiation is electromagnetic radiation that is at or above a minimum irradiance level that neutralizes infectious agents.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: DuPont Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Wei Wu, Gregory Scott Blackman, Barry D. Olson, Timothy S. Wyant, Fazel Zare Bidoky, Michael R. Moseley
