Patent number: 9711711Abstract: A piezoelectric energy harvester device has a cantilevered structure with a rectangular proof mass portion defined by holes through a substrate along three sides of a proof mass portion and supported by a thinned hinge portion for free pivotal movement relative to an anchor portion. Elongated strips of piezoelectric energy harvesting units are formed in side-by-side spaced positions on the hinge portion and aligned parallel or perpendicular to a stress direction. Multiplexing electronics coupled to contact pads on the anchor portion selectively connects different strip combinations to power management circuitry, responsive to variations in vibration magnitude or modes.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: James Hall, Jianbai Jenn Wang, Cuiling Gong

Publication number: 20070209925Abstract: A substrate processing method practiced in a plasma sputter reactor including an RF coil and two or more coaxial electromagnets, at least two of which are wound at different radii. After a barrier layer, for example, of tantalum is sputter deposited into a via hole, the RF coil is powered to cause argon sputter etching of the barrier layer and the current to the electromagnets are adjusted to steer the argon ions, for example to eliminate sidewall asymmetry. For example, the two electromagnets are powered with unequal currents of opposite polarities or a third electromagnet wrapped at a different height is powered. In one embodiment, the steering straightens the trajectories near the wafer edge. In another embodiment, the etching is divided into two steps in which the steering inclines the trajectories at opposite angles. The invention may also be applied to other materials, such as copper.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2006Publication date: September 13, 2007Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Xianmin Tang, Praburam Gopalraja, Jenn Wang, Jick Yu

Publication number: 20070059502Abstract: A fabrication method and a product for the deposition of a conductive barrier or other liner layer in a vertical electrical interconnect structure. One embodiment includes within a a hole through a dielectric layer a barrier layer of RuTaN, an adhesion layer of RuTa, and a copper seed layer forming a liner for electroplating of copper. The ruthenium content is preferably greater than 50 at % and more preferably at least 80 at % but less than 95 at %. The barrier and adhesion layers may both be sputter deposited. Other platinum-group elements substitute for the ruthenium and other refractory metals substitute for the tantalum. Aluminum alloying into RuTa when annealed presents a moisture barrier. Copper contacts include different alloying fractions of RuTa to shift the work function to the doping type.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2006Publication date: March 15, 2007Applicant: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Rongjun Wang, Hua Chung, Xianmin Tang, Jenn Wang, Wei Wang, Yoichiro Tanaka, Jick Yu, Praburam Gopalraja

Publication number: 20060251872Abstract: A fabrication method, a product structure, a fabrication method, and a sputtering target for the deposition of a conductive barrier or other liner layer in an interconnect structure. The barrier layer comprises a conductive metal of a refractory noble metal alloy, such as a ruthenium/tantalum alloy, which may be amorphous though it is not required to be so. The barrier layer may be sputtered from a target of similar composition. The barrier and target composition may be chosen from a combination of the refractory metals and the platinum-group metals as well as RuTa. A copper noble seed layer may be formed of an alloy of copper and ruthenium in contact to a barrier layer over the dielectric.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2005Publication date: November 9, 2006Inventors: Jenn Wang, Wei Wang, Ronjun Wang, Yoichiro Tanaka, Hua Chung, Hong Zhang, Jick Yu, Praburam Gopalraja, Jianming Fu
