  • Patent number: 9530861
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of: forming a dummy gate stack structure on a substrate, wherein the dummy gate stack structure contains carbon-based materials; forming source/drain region in the substrate on both sides of the dummy gate stack structure; performing etching to remove the dummy gate stack structure until the substrate is exposed, resulting in a gate trench; and forming a gate stack structure in the gate trench. In accordance with the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention, the dummy gate made of carbon-based materials is used to substitute the dummy gate made of silicon-based materials, then no oxide liner and/or etch blocking layer needs be added while the dummy gate is removed by etching in the gate last process, thus the reliability of device is ensured while the process is simplified and the cost is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20160372215
    Abstract: A method of a nuclear fuel pellet including a thermal conductive metal and a nuclear fuel pellet prepared thereby. The method includes preparing an oxide nuclear fuel granule having about 30%-45% theoretical density, mixing the fuel granule with thermal conductive metal powder, compacting the fuel granule with which the thermal conductive metal powder is mixed to prepare a green pellet, and sintering the green pellet. In the method, the sintering may be performed under a reducing gas atmosphere that is the same as the commercial pellet preparing process. Thus, compatibility compared to existing commercial preparing processes may be superior. Also, since a liquefied oxide formation process and a reducing process are omitted, the distribution uniformity of the metal material within the pellet may be superior. Therefore, the nuclear fuel pellet in which the metal network and fine microstructure are uniformly distributed within the pellet may be prepared.
