Abstract: A method of making a ROM structure includes the operations of forming an active area having a channel, a source region, and a drain region; depositing a gate electrode over the channel; depositing a conductive line over at least one of the source region and the drain region; adding dopants to the source region and the drain region of the active area; forming contacts to the gate electrode, the source region, and the drain; depositing a power rail, a bit line, and at least one word line of the integrated circuit against the contacts; and dividing the active area with a trench isolation structure to electrically isolate the gate electrode from the source region and the drain region.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to plasma processes. A plasma process includes generating a plasma containing negatively charged oxygen ions. A substrate is exposed to the plasma. The substrate is disposed on a pedestal while being exposed to the plasma. While exposing the substrate to the plasma, a negative direct current (DC) bias voltage is applied to the pedestal to repel the negatively charged oxygen ions from the substrate.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a plurality of horizontal conducting lines in a first connection layer, a plurality of gate-conductors below the first connection layer, a plurality of terminal-conductors below the first connection layer, and a via-connector directly connecting one of the horizontal conducting lines with one of the gate-conductors or with one of the terminal-conductors. The integrated circuit also includes a plurality of vertical conducting lines in a second connection layer above the first connection layer, and a plurality of pin-connectors for a circuit cell. A first pin-connector is directly connected between a first horizontal conducting line and a first vertical conducting line atop one of the gate-conductors. A second pin-connector is directly connected between a second horizontal conducting line and a second vertical conducting line atop a vertical boundary of the circuit cell.

Abstract: A modified copolyester composition includes a copolymer obtained by subjecting a stoichiometric mixture of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid-based component and a diol component to a polycondensation reaction, wherein the diol component includes a major amount of a C2-C4 aliphatic diol and a minor amount of an aromatic diol compound represented by Formula (I) defined herein, and wherein the dicarboxylic acid-based component is selected from the group consisting of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, an aromatic dicarboxylic dialkyl ester, and a combination thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved method for the multi-parameter analysis of cells from peripheral blood or bone marrow. The method uses a nucleic acid dye, at least two fluorescently labelled monoclonal antibodies and at least two light scatter parameters to differentiate and discriminate between and among different cells in the blood or bone marrow.
