  • Split lift gate swing seat
    Patent number: 7000968
    Abstract: A rear seat assembly movable between a use configuration and a stowed configuration within a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The rear seat assembly includes a seat cushion having a front portion and a rear portion, a seat back disposed adjacent to the rear portion of the seat cushion, and a translator coupled to the seat back. The translator moves the seat back between the use configuration and the stowed configuration in which the seat back is adjacent to a rear lift gate of the motor vehicle.

  • Method of prohibiting from producing protrusion alongside silicide layer of gate
    Publication number: 20020058410
    Abstract: A method of prohibiting from producing a protrusion alongside a silicide layer of a gate unit is disclosed. The method includes steps of (a) providing a chamber and a semiconductor wafer having the gate unit thereon, (b) loading the semiconductor wafer into the chamber, (c) providing a mixing gas of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas into the chamber and performing a rapid thermal anneal (RTA) step for the gate unit, and (d) performing a rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) step for the gate unit. Alternatively, the method includes steps of (a) providing a first chamber and a semiconductor wafer having a gate unit thereon, (b) loading the semiconductor wafer into the first chamber and purging oxygen gas therein, (c) performing a rapid thermal anneal (RTA) step for the gate unit, and (d) performing a rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) step for the gate unit.
