  • Capacitor separations in dielectric layers
    Patent number: 11991873
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a substrate, a first inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer above the substrate, and a second ILD layer above the first ILD layer. A first capacitor and a second capacitor are formed within the first ILD layer and the second ILD layer. A first top plate of the first capacitor and a second top plate of the second capacitor are formed at a boundary between the first ILD layer and the second ILD layer. The first capacitor and the second capacitor are separated by a dielectric area in the first ILD layer. The dielectric area includes a first dielectric area that is coplanar with the first top plate or the second top plate, and a second dielectric area above the first dielectric area and to separate the first top plate and the second top plate. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Progressing cavity stator with metal plates having apertures with englarged ends
    Patent number: 9133841
    Abstract: Progressing cavity devices and systems are provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a metal stator of a progressing cavity device. The metal stator includes metal plates with apertures that are rotationally offset to form a winding rotor cavity. At least one of the apertures that form the winding rotor cavity has an elongated profile with enlarged ends having widths greater than that across the middle of the at least one aperture. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
