Abstract: A method to produce an integrated circuit including depositing a first layer of a metallic chemical constituent on a silicon substrate. A protective layer including a main chemical constituent different from the main chemical constituent of the first layer is then deposited on this first layer. An additional layer is deposited on the protective layer and includes a main chemical constituent different from, equivalent to or of equivalent size to the main chemical constituent of the first layer.

In a subsequent step, the additional layer and the protective layer are removed. In another step, a further heat treatment operation is carried out at a temperature greater than the first temperature in order to change the stoichiometry of the previously created silicide.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a sewing process of a breathable, reusable, and leak-proof garment multilayered-lining having absorbent, antimicrobial, waterproofing, and steam dispersion functions. Such lining aims at preventing body fluids such as sweat, blood, vaginal fluids, menstrual fluid, urine, breast milk, or post-surgical fluids from leaking. Such a lining provides the absorbent, antimicrobial, waterproofing, and steam dispersion functions. The lining may be sewed or adhered to the garment piece including: men's and women's underwear, shorts, short pants, skirts, pants, bras, shirts, T-shirts, jumpsuits, body shapers, dresses, men's and women's nightwear, etc. The sewing process creates channels for the liquid and creates a non-linear U-shaped structure on the lining to prevent leakage from the sides. The disclosed lining also has a reduced number of layers on its sides due to one of its layers being smaller in width than the other layers, making the coating thinner for the wearer.
