Patent number: 9287130Abstract: A method includes forming a plurality of fin elements above a substrate. A mask is formed above the substrate. The mask has an opening defined above at least one selected fin element of the plurality of fin elements. An ion species is implanted into the at least one selected fin element through the opening to increase its etch characteristics relative to the other fin elements. The at least one selected fin element is removed selectively relative to the other fin elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2015Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignees: GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc., International Business Machines Corporation, STMicroelectronics, Inc.Inventors: Xiuyu Cai, Ajey Poovannummoottil Jacob, Ruilong Xie, Bruce Doris, Kangguo Cheng, Jason R.

Patent number: 8946896Abstract: A dielectric layer overlies a semiconductor substrate. The substrate has components and appropriate contacts formed therein. The dielectric layer electrically insulates the substrate and components from overlying conductive interconnect layers. A barrier layer is arranged over the dielectric layer to isolate the interconnect layers from other structures. A copper layer is then deposited over the barrier layer and thick interconnect lines having a first width and a first height are realized. Then, the barrier layer is etched using one of many alternative techniques. The barrier layer has a second width and a second height wherein the second width of the barrier liner is selected to be greater than the first width of the thick copper interconnect.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2009Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: STMicroelectronics, Inc.Inventors: David Moreau, Jerome Ciavatti

Publication number: 20110269610Abstract: A method of automatically manufacturing a filled packette having a closure where a film is advanced from a feed roller to a punch that produces a series of holes in the film. Individual closures are then positioned into each punched hole and ultrasonically welded into place. The film is folded and oriented vertically so that heat sealing may be used to form the side and bottom edges of individual pockets. The film is then clipped to form individual pockets and filed with the appropriate amount of desired material from a bulk feeder. The filled pockets may be sealed along the top edge to form a closed packette and die cut to form the final packette shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: MARIETTA CORPORATIONInventors: David Moreau, Thomas Larkin

Patent number: 6857027Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for detecting and preventing bridge loops in a relatively low cost bridge module designed for installation in a network hub. The bridge operates to monitor an intra-hub communication path of the network hub to detect bridge protocol data units transmitted by a switching fabric within the network hub. The bridge module stores a MAC source address of a bridge protocol data unit detected on the intra-hub communications path, and forwards the bridge protocol data unit through its external communication ports to respective network segments. The bridge module monitors its external communication ports for any data unit having a destination address matching a bridge multicast address. When a data unit having a destination address matching the bridge multicast address is detected, the bridge module compares the MAC source address of that data unit to the previously stored MAC source address from the bridge protocol data unit detected on the intra-hub communication path.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2000Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: 3Com CorporationInventors: Carl John Lindeborg, Mark David Moreau, Keith Louis Petry, John Ernest Ziegler
