Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having molybdenum nitride metal gates and gate dielectrics with a dipole layer are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, and a second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A first gate stack is over the first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, the first gate stack having a P-type conductive layer on a first gate dielectric. The P-type conductive layer includes molybdenum and nitrogen. A second gate stack is over the second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, the second gate stack having an N-type conductive layer on a second gate dielectric.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include a semiconductor device and methods of forming such a device. In an embodiment, the semiconductor device comprises a substrate and a transistor on the substrate. In an embodiment, the transistor comprises a first gate electrode, where the first gate electrode is part of a first array of gate electrodes with a first pitch. In an embodiment, the first gate electrode has a first average grain size. In an embodiment, the semiconductor device further comprises a component cell on the substrate. In an embodiment, the component cell comprises a second gate electrode, where the second gate electrode is part of a second array of gate electrodes with a second pitch that is larger than the first pitch. In an embodiment, the second gate electrode has a second average grain size that is larger than the first average grain size.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are structures, methods, and assemblies related to metallization in integrated circuit (IC) structures. For example, in some embodiments, an IC structure may include a first nanowire in a metal region and a second nanowire in the metal region. A distance between the first nanowire and the second nanowire may be less than 5 nanometers, and the metal region may include tungsten between the first nanowire and the second nanowire.

Abstract: Articles including a surface spreading agent, oilfield water storage systems that employ the articles, and methods of managing an oilfield water storage system are provided herein. In an embodiment, an article includes a film-forming composition and a densifying agent. The film-forming composition includes a surface spreading agent present in an amount of at least 5 weight %, based on the total weight of the film-forming composition. The densifying agent has a higher density than water and the surface spreading agent. The film-forming composition is packaged in an impervious material.

Abstract: A reflective marker apparatus comprises a resilient, elastic body portion having an attachment surface, a top surface adjacent the attachment surface and first and second oppositely disposed face sides angularly disposed relative to the attachment surface to be convergent toward the top surface. A reflecting device is secured to at least one of the first and second face sides for reflecting light generally directed at the face sides. The body is preferably formed from a portion of a rubber tire to form a solid, unitary body. There is also disclosed a method of marking a point in a vehicular traffic area, the method including the steps of attaching to the point a body formed entirely from at least a portion of a rubber tire and having a reflecting surface thereon and using the reflecting surface to reflect light received from the lights of a nearby vehicle, such that reflected light is directed back at the vehicle. In addition, there is described a reflector for general application on vehicle area markers.
