  • Patent number: 6689656
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a dynamic random access memory and the method for fabricating thereof. A first silicon substrate having a trench capacitor and a second silicon substrate having a transistor are formed with a double layer, which is interposed an insulation layer between therewith, thereby forming a trench capacitor at a region, which is used to be formed a transistor in the conventional art. Accordingly, when forming the trench capacitors, in which the numbers are the same as the conventional art, at the same silicon substrate area, a trench capacitor with large in diameter and shallow in depth can be formed, thereby performing a trench capacitor forming process. According to the present invention, after forming a trench, successive processes become easy and reliability of device can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 6669823
    Abstract: A process to prepare stoichiometric-nanostructured materials comprising generating a plasma, forming an “active volume” through introduction of an oxidizing gas into the plasma, before the plasma is expanded into a field-free zone, either (1) in a region in close proximity to a zone of charge carrier generation, or (2) in a region of current conduction between field generating elements, including the surface of the field generation elements, and transferring energy from the plasma to a precursor material to form in the “active volume” at least one stoichiometric-nanostructured material and a vapor that may be condensed to form a stoichiometric-nanostructured material. The surface chemistry of the resulting nanostructured materials is substantially enhanced to yield dispersion stable materials with large zeta-potentials.

  • Patent number: 6666207
    Abstract: A solar energy concentrator (1) is formed in the shape of a spiral horn, so that solar energy incident over a wide range of incident angles on the mouth (2) of the horn is concentrated by multiple reflections from inner walls (5) of the horn to emerge from an exit aperture (3) at the center of the horn. Solar energy emerging from the collector may be distributed by light pipes (40) to illuminate a building or may be transmitted to a solar energy conversion chamber (50) having a small entry aperture (51). The entry aperture (51) acts as black body absorbing all solar energy incident upon it and the solar energy may be converted within the chamber (50) either by photovoltaic cells and/or by heat absorbing media.
