Patent number: 10510620Abstract: A method includes forming an isolation pillar between first and second active nanostructures for adjacent FETs. A first WFM for one FET is deposited over the first active nanostructure, the pillar and the second active nanostructure. The first WFM is removed from a part of the pillar. The removing creates a discontinuity in the first WFM over the first active nano structure from the first WFM over the second active nanostructure but leaves the first WFM on sidewalls of the pillar. When the first WFM surrounding the second active nanostructure is removed, the pillar and the discontinuity in the first metal on the part of the pillar prevent the etching from reaching and removing the first WFM on the first active nanostructure. Depositing a second WFM surrounding the second active nanostructure and the isolation pillar forms part of the gate for the second FET and couples the FETs together.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES, INC.Inventors: Daniel Chanemougame, Steven R. Soss, Steven J. Bentley, Julien Frougier, Ruilong Xie

Patent number: 10468365Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a radiation detector, counter pixel electrodes 33 are formed on a counter substrate 2 at positions facing a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on a signal reading substrate, and wall bump electrodes 34 are further formed on the counter pixel electrodes 33. In order to achieve the above, a resist R is applied, and the resist R is exposed to light to form openings O. When Au sputter deposition is performed on the openings O, only some of the Au is deposited on the bottom surface in the openings O as the counter pixel electrodes 33.
