  • Publication number: 20240087961
    Abstract: The embodiments described herein are directed to a method for reducing fin oxidation during the formation of fin isolation regions. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate with an n-doped region and a p-doped region formed on a top portion of the semiconductor substrate; epitaxially growing a first layer on the p-doped region; epitaxially growing a second layer different from the first layer on the n-doped region; epitaxially growing a third layer on top surfaces of the first and second layers, where the third layer is thinner than the first and second layers. The method further includes etching the first, second, and third layers to form fin structures on the semiconductor substrate and forming an isolation region between the fin structures.

  • Patent number: 10752673
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for high-throughput screening of a functional antibody fragment for an immunoconjugate that targets a protein antigen. The method combines a phage-displayed synthetic antibody library and high-throughput cytotoxicity screening of non-covalently assembled immunotoxins or cytotoxic drug to identify highly functional synthetic antibody fragments for delivering toxin payloads.

  • Patent number: 10562976
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an immunoconjugate comprising an antibody, a functional motif, and a linker connecting the functional motif to the antibody. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the antibody may recognize tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), and serves as a targeting module for delivering the functional motif connected therewith to the tumor cells thereby inhibiting tumor growth or detecting the distribution of tumor cells. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating cancers and methods of diagnosing cancers by use of the present immunoconjugate.
