  • Patent number: 8158519
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a non-volatile memory cell, a self-aligned metal silicide is used in place of a conventional tungsten metal layer to form a polysilicon gate, and the self-aligned metal silicide is used as a connection layer on the polysilicon gate. By using the self-aligned metal silicide to form the polysilicon gate, the use of masks in the etching process may be saved to thereby enable simplified manufacturing process and accordingly, reduced manufacturing cost. Meanwhile, the problem of resistance shift caused by an oxidized tungsten metal layer can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20120034680
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for recycling carbon dioxide emissions from a fossil-fuel power plant into useful carbonated species The process primarily comprises the steps of: a) burning the fossil fuel, thereby generating heat and a hot exhaust gas containing CO2; and b) converting the heat into energy. The process is characterized in that it further comprises the steps of: c) cooling the exhaust gas; and d) biologically transforming the CO2 contained in the cooled exhaust gas into carbonated species, thereby obtaining a low CO2 exhaust gas and producing useful carbonated species. The low CO2 exhaust gas obtained in step d) can be released in the atmosphere without increasing the problem of greenhouse effect.

  • Patent number: 8054105
    Abstract: A sample hold circuit and a method for sampling and holding a signal are provided. The sample hold circuit includes a sample unit, a direct current (DC) voltage elimination unit, and a hold unit. When the sample hold circuit is in a first state, the sample unit samples an input signal, and the DC voltage elimination unit lowers a predetermined percentage of the DC voltage in the input signal sampled by the sample unit. When the sample hold circuit is in a second state, the DC voltage elimination unit eliminates the residual percentage of the DC voltage, and the hold unit outputs the alternating current (AC) signal in the input signal sampled by the sample unit.

  • Patent number: 8008692
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory structure with stress regions includes a substrate defining a first and a second device zone; a first and a second stress region formed in each of the first and second device zone to yield stress different in level; a barrier plug separating the two device zones from each other; and a plurality of oxide spacers being located between the first stress regions and the barrier plug while in direct contact with the first stress regions. Due to the stress yielded at the stress regions, increased carrier mobility and accordingly, increased reading current can be obtained, and only a relatively lower reading voltage is needed to obtain an initially required reading current. As a result, the probability of stress-induced leakage current is reduced to enhance the data retention ability.
