  • Inner L-spacer for replacement gate flow
    Patent number: 9178037
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is formed by removing a sacrificial gate dielectric layer and a sacrificial gate to form a gate cavity. A conformal dielectric first liner is formed in the gate cavity and a conformal second liner is formed on the first liner. A first etch removes the second liner from the bottom of the gate cavity, leaving material of the second liner on sidewalls of the gate cavity. A second etch removes the first liner from the bottom of the gate cavity exposed by the second liner, leaving material of the first liner on the bottom of the gate cavity under the second liner on the sidewalls of the gate cavity. A third etch removes the second liner from the gate cavity, leaving an L-shaped spacers of the first liner in the gate cavity. A permanent gate dielectric layer and replacement gate are formed in the gate cavity.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING CONTEXTUAL CLASSIFICATION USING SUPERVISED AND UNSUPERVISED TRAINING
    Publication number: 20150310352
    Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are disclosed for performing contextual classification of objects using supervised and unsupervised training. In accordance with one implementation, content reviewers may review training objects and submit supervised training data for preprocessing and analysis. The supervised training data may be preprocessed to identify key terms and phrases, such as by stemming, tokenization, or n-gram analysis, and form vectorized objects. The vectorized objects may be used to train one or more models for subsequent classification of objects. In certain implementations, preprocessing or training, among other steps, may be performed in parallel over multiple machines to improve efficiency. The disclosed systems and methods may be used in a wide variety of applications, such as article classification and content moderation.

  • METHOD OF TREATING CANCER USING HIGH EFFICIENCY SELF-ILLUMINATIVE NANOCOMPLEXES AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20150297682
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of treating cancer using a composition including a target-specific self-illuminative nanocomplex which includes an self-illuminative nanocomplex including a quantum dot and a modified self-illuminative protein (m-Rluc8), a targeted cancer-specific molecule and a hydrophilic polymer, and a method of preparing the composition. Since the high efficiency self-illuminative nanocomplex may have high target specificity by chemically binding to a target-specific molecule, it can be effectively used in cancer treatment using a nanometer-scale laser light source, and therefore it is expected to propose a new paradigm of nanoptic therapeutics.

  • METHOD OF CMOS MANUFACTURING UTILIZING MULTI-LAYER EPITAXIAL HARDMASK FILMS FOR IMPROVED EPI PROFILE
    Publication number: 20150287647
    Abstract: An integrated circuit containing PMOS transistors may be formed by forming a dual layer hard mask. A first layer of the hard mask is halogen-containing silicon nitride formed using a halogenated silane reagent. A second layer of the hard mask is silicon nitride formed on the first layer using halogen-free reagents. After source/drain cavities are etched in the PMOS transistors, a pre-epitaxial bake with hydrogen is performed. After SiGe epitaxial source/drain regions are formed, the hard mask is removed.
