  • Patent number: 11605540
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a semiconductor device structure with fine boron nitride spacer patterns. The method includes undercutting a photoresist pattern over a semiconductor substrate, and forming an inner spacer element over a sidewall surface of the photoresist pattern. The inner spacer element has a portion extending into a recess (i.e., the undercut region) of the photoresist pattern to form a footing, and a width of the portion of the inner spacer element increases continuously as the portion extends toward the semiconductor substrate. As a result, the inner spacer element may be prevented from collapsing after removal of the photoresist pattern.

  • Publication number: 20220363791
    Abstract: The copolymerization of ethylene with an optional comonomer is conducted in the presence of a catalyst having a specific aryloxy ether ligand structure. The process enables very high conversions of ethylene to polyethylene at very short residence times when conducted under conditions of pressures of at least 10.3 MPa and high ethylene feed concentrations of from 70 to 150 grams per liter. Using these polymerization conditions, the level of unsaturation may be controlled by the polymerization temperature: for example, a level of 0.09 vinyl groups per 1000 carbon atoms was observed at a polymerization temperature of 160° C. and a level of 0.22 vinyls per 1000 carbon atoms was observed at 220° C.
