  • High compressive stress carbon liners for MOS devices
    Patent number: 8362571
    Abstract: Transistor architectures and fabrication processes generate channel strain without adversely impacting the efficiency of the transistor fabrication process while preserving the material quality and enhancing the performance of the resulting transistor. Transistor strain is generated is PMOS devices using a highly compressive post-salicide amorphous carbon capping layer applied as a blanket over on at least the source and drain regions. The stress from this capping layer is uniaxially transferred to the PMOS channel through the source-drain regions to create compressive strain in PMOS channel.

    Patent number: 8359874
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a secondary cooling path for circulating liquid coolant through the refrigerator wherein the liquid coolant is cooled by the freezer compartment and wherein the liquid coolant cools the ice maker and the ice bin as the liquid coolant circulates through the secondary cooling path. A pump is positioned along the secondary cooling path for pumping the liquid coolant through the secondary cooling path. A tube having a first end proximate the pump and an opposite end exposed to atmosphere may control suction pressure associated with the pump. The refrigerator reduces frost build up through configuration of the secondary cooling path or performing ice harvesting operations which melt frost. The secondary cooling path may be used to provide for circulating hot liquid. The secondary cooling path may be used to provide for circulating liquid coolant during a power outage.

  • Fin field-effect transistor structure and manufacturing process thereof
    Patent number: 8361854
    Abstract: A fin field-effect transistor structure includes a substrate, a fin channel and a high-k metal gate. The high-k metal gate is formed on the substrate and the fin channel. A process of manufacturing the fin field-effect transistor structure includes the following steps. Firstly, a polysilicon pseudo gate structure is formed on the substrate and a surface of the fin channel. By using the polysilicon pseudo gate structure as a mask, a source/drain region is formed in the fin channel. After the polysilicon pseudo gate structure is removed, a high-k dielectric layer and a metal gate layer are successively formed. Afterwards, a planarization process is performed on the substrate having the metal gate layer until the first dielectric layer is exposed, so that a high-k metal gate is produced.

  • BREWING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20130019755
    Abstract: The brewing device contains a container and a functional unit beneath the container conductive to the container. The functional unit contains a pressure section and an exit section. The pressure section is conductive to and is smaller than the container. The pressure section is configured with air holes for drawing outside air. The exit section is conductive to and is smaller than the exit section. As the brewed liquid (such as the coffee brewed from the coffee powder) flows through the pressure section, it undergoes a pre-determined pressure through the air holes. Additionally, the container and the functional unit jointly achieve Venturi effect so that the brewed liquid is sped up under greater pressure difference as it passes through the exit section. As such, the molecules of the brewed liquid are activated and thinned to achieve enhanced flavor.
