  • Publication number: 20240145546
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods for the fabrication of buried layers in gate-all-around (GAA) transistor structures to suppress junction leakage. In some embodiments, the method includes forming a doped epitaxial layer on a substrate, forming a stack of alternating first and second nano-sheet layers on the epitaxial layer, and patterning the stack and the epitaxial layer to form a fin structure. The method includes forming a sacrificial gate structure on the fin structure, removing portions of the fin structure not covered by the sacrificial gate structure, and etching portions of the first nano-sheet layers. Additionally, the method includes forming spacer structures on the etched portions of the first nano-sheet layers and forming source/drain (S/D) epitaxial structures on the epitaxial layer abutting the second nano-sheet layers.

  • Patent number: 11973122
    Abstract: Embodiments utilize a two layer inner spacer structure during formation of the inner spacers of a nano-FET device. The materials of the first inner spacer layer and second inner spacer layer can be selected to have a mismatch in their coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). As the structure cools after deposition, the inner spacer layer which has a larger CTE will exhibit compressive stress on the other inner spacer layer, however, because the two layers have a common interface, the layer with the smaller CTE will exhibit a counter acting tensile stress.

  • Publication number: 20240107414
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for switching a secondary cell to a primary cell. A user equipment (UE) monitors a first radio condition of the UE for beams of a primary cell and a second radio condition for beams of one or more secondary cells configured for the UE in carrier aggregation. The UE transmits a request to configure a candidate beam of at least one candidate secondary cell as a new primary cell in response to the first radio condition not satisfying a first threshold and the second radio condition for the at least one candidate secondary cell satisfying a second threshold. A base station determines to reconfigure at least one secondary cell as the new primary cell. The base station and the UE perform a handover of the UE to the new primary cell.

  • Patent number: 11929216
    Abstract: A button mechanism includes a button, a module, and a thin sheet spring. The thin sheet spring is in physical communication with the button and with the module. The thin sheet spring exerts a tension force on the button and the module to bias the button toward a normal position. In response to a force greater than the tension force being exerted on the button, a portion of the thin sheet stretches to enable the button to be placed in a contact position. In response to the force being removed from the button, the tension force causes the thin sheet to snap back to an original position and biases the button toward the normal position.
