  • Patent number: 10763429
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method for fabricating a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device. A non-limiting example of the method includes depositing a dielectric layer on a contact arranged on a substrate including a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) pillar. The method includes reducing a width of the MTJ pillar. The method further includes depositing an encapsulation layer on the dielectric layer and the MTJ pillar.

  • Patent number: 10714341
    Abstract: Lift-off methods for fabricating metal line patterns on a substrate are provided. For example, a method to fabricate a device includes forming a sacrificial layer on a substrate and forming a photoresist mask over the sacrificial layer, isotropically etching a portion of the sacrificial layer exposed through an opening of the photoresist mask to form an undercut region in the sacrificial layer below the photoresist mask, wherein the undercut region defines an overhang structure, and anisotropically etching a portion of the sacrificial layer exposed through the opening of the photoresist mask to form an opening through the sacrificial layer down to the substrate. Metallic material is deposited to cover the photoresist mask and to at least partially fill the opening formed in the sacrificial layer without coating the overhang structure with metallic material. The sacrificial layer is dissolved to lift-off the metallic material covering the photoresist mask.

  • Publication number: 20200164222
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to an integrated optogenetic device. The integrated optogenetic includes a substrate layer having a first substrate region and a second substrate region. The device further includes a first contact formed over the substrate layer in the first substrate region and a second contact layer formed over the substrate layer in the second region. In addition, the device includes a light-emitting diode (LED) structure communicatively coupled to the first contact layer and a biosensor element communicatively coupled to the second contact layer. The first contact layer is configured to operate as a bottom contact that provides electrical contact to the LED structure. The first contact layer is further configured to be substantially lattice matched with the substrate layer and a bottom layer of the LED structure.

  • Publication number: 20180142023
    Abstract: Disclosed are domain antibodies that monovalently bind CD28. Domain antibodies that are monovalent for binding of CD28 can inhibit CD28 activity. In one aspect, a domain antibody consists of or comprises a single immunoglobulin variable domain that specifically binds and antagonizes the activity of CD28, in an aspect, without substantially agonizing CD28 activity. In another aspect, the domain antibody is a human domain antibody. The disclosure further encompasses methods of antagonizing CD80 and/or CD86 interactions with CD28 in an individual and methods of treating diseases or disorders involving CD80 and/or CD86 interactions with CD28, the methods involving administering a domain antibody to the individual.
