Abstract: A method of producing LNG. According to the method, a natural gas stream is compressed using first and second compressors. A cooler cools the natural gas stream so that the second compressor produces a cooled, compressed natural gas stream, which is liquefied in a liquefaction process. The liquefaction process uses a refrigerant compressor configured to compress a stream of refrigerant used to chill, condense, or liquefy the cooled, compressed natural gas stream. Using a heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) system, heat is recovered from a power source of the refrigerant compressor. A stream of pressurized steam is generated from the recovered heat. At least one of the first and second compressors is powered using at least part of the stream of pressurized steam.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to III-V semiconductor trench MOSFETs comprising a buried field shield. The invention is further directed to an etch and regrowth method for forming this buried field shield. For example, in III-V trench MOSFETs with an n-type substrate, the region can be formed by an etch into the drift (n-type) and regrowth of p-type semiconductor to form the buried field shield in the trench area and a body/channel outside the trench area. With a narrow trench feature size, the regrowth will planarize enabling subsequent source epitaxy (n-type) without requiring ex-situ processing between body/channel and source growths, eliminating the need for additional masking of the regrowth.
