Abstract: A bubble-shaped display screen is adapted to fit over a "fish-eye" portal to a modular playground compartment, and may either replace or augment the transparent portal window. A projection device projects video images into the display screen. The display screen and projection device may be contained within an encapsulating enclosure which readily attaches to the modular playground compartment over an existing portal, allowing retro-fitting of existing playground structures. A beam-splitter and mirrors permit the projected video image to be viewed on either of two display screens mounted on either end of the enclosure encapsulating the projection device, permitting children within the playground structure and individuals outside the playground structure to view the same image.

Abstract: A technique for forming integrated circuit device contacts includes the formation of nitride spacers along side gate electrodes for LDD definition. In addition, a nitride cap layer is formed over the gate electrodes. When a contact opening is formed through the interlevel oxide dielectric, the nitride cap and sidewall spacers protect the gate electrode from damage and shorting. A highly doped poly plug is formed in the opening to make contact to the underlying substrate. Metalization is formed over the poly plug in the usual manner.
