Abstract: A method of selective deposition that includes disposing in a deposition chamber a patterned substrate of side-by-side areas of metal and dielectric. The deposition chamber is connected to a bubbler that contains an N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) precursor. By heating the bubbler, gaseous free NHC is generated which is pulsed into the deposition chamber, where the NHC selectively chemisorbs onto the metal surface. Annealing after deposition of NHC improves surface patterning by removing stray metal from the dielectric section.

Abstract: Examples may include techniques to reduce memory cell refreshes for a memory device. These techniques include a control unit receiving a command to cause an internal refresh counter for the memory device to increment without causing one or more rows of an array of memory cells to be refreshed during an auto-refresh interval. In some examples, a memory controller has access to a refresh counter register at the memory device that may allow the memory controller to determine when to send the command that causes the internal refresh counter to increment without refreshing the one or more rows during the auto-refresh interval.

Abstract: Invention relates to a single step preparation of alkali metal quinolate of general formula 1 wherein M=Lithium, sodium or potassium; R=H, alkyl (C1-C6), alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, amino, amido or halogen (Cl, F, Br, I) which is substituted or unsubstituted with direct reaction of metal with 8-hydroxyquinoline. Substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline optionally have at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, amino, amido at 2, 5 or 7 position. Halogen substituted 8-hydroxyquinolates are also prepared from this method in the yield of 90-95% from polar solvents like acetonitrile. These complexes are useful as light emitting and electron injecting materials in organic electronic devices. Also the doping of these materials in electron transport materials improves their electron mobility.
