  • CHANNEL STRAIN INDUCING ARCHITECTURE AND DOPING TECHNIQUE AT REPLACEMENT POLY GATE (RPG) STAGE
    Publication number: 20150162445
    Abstract: The demand for increased performance and shrinking geometry from ICs has brought the introduction of multi-gate devices including finFET devices. Inducing a higher tensile strain/stress in a region provides for enhanced electron mobility, which may improve performance. High temperature processes during device fabrication tend to relax the stress on these strain inducing layers. The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a strain inducing layer or cap layer at the RPG (replacement poly silicon gate) stage of a finFET device formation process. In some embodiments, the strain inducing layer is doped to reduce the external resistance.

  • MUTANT NEQ HS DNA POLYMERASE DERIVED FROM NANOARCHAEUM EQUITANS AND ITS APPLICATION TO HOT-START PCR
    Publication number: 20150159146
    Abstract: A DNA polymerase (Neq DNA polymerase) derived from Nanoarchaeum equitans is split into Neq L and Neq S fragments, each of which contains inteins. A Neq hot-start (HS) DNA polymerase in which the inteins of the Neq L and Neq S fragments are linked with each other is provided in the form of a precursor of Neq DNA polymerase. A purification method can be significantly improved by inserting a His-tag sequence composed of six histidine residues between the inteins of the Neq L and Neq S fragments at a gene level. As a result of effort to enhance PCR efficiency of the Neq HS DNA polymerase, a gene coding for the Neq HS DNA polymerase is mutated at specific positions to screen mutant Neq HS polymerases (M1, M2, and M3) having a highly improved PCR amplification rate and amplification level.

  • Methods for forming contact landing regions in split-gate non-volatile memory (NVM) cell arrays
    Patent number: 9054208
    Abstract: Methods and related structures are disclosed for forming contact landing regions in split-gate NVM (non-volatile memory) systems. A dummy select gate structure is formed while also forming select gates for split-gate NVM cells. A control gate layer is formed over the select gates and the dummy select gate structure, as well as an intervening charge storage layer. The control gate material will fill in gaps between the select gate material and the dummy select gate material. A non-patterned spacer etch is then used to etch the control gate layer to form a contact landing region associated with the dummy select gate structure while also forming spacer control gates for the split-gate NVM cells. The disclosed embodiments provide improved (e.g., more planar) contact landing regions without requiring additional processing steps and without increasing the pitch of the resulting NVM cell array.
