Dale E. Hill has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Abstract: Semiconductor substrate materials, such as silicon, useful in the manufacture of electronic devices, such as integrated circuits, employing low temperature, i.e., below 1025.degree. C. processing cycles are provided with a 0.05 to 2.0 micron thick layer of polysilicon on the backside to improve gettering capabilities of defects, contaminants and impurities away from the active device region of the substrate.
