  • Patent number: 9536992
    Abstract: A method includes providing a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a first transistor region, a second transistor region and a silicon dioxide layer on the first transistor region and the second transistor region. A layer of a high-k dielectric material is deposited on the silicon dioxide layer. A layer of a first metal is formed over the second transistor region. The layer of first metal does not cover the first transistor region. After the formation of the layer of the first metal, a layer of a second metal is deposited over the first transistor region and the second transistor region. A first annealing process is performed. The first annealing process initiates a scavenging reaction between the second metal and silicon dioxide from a portion of the silicon dioxide layer on the first transistor region. After the annealing process, a ferroelectric transistor dielectric is formed over the first transistor region.

  • Patent number: 8485228
    Abstract: A plug-in part in the form of a piece of tubing and having a sealing portion, the sealing portion comprising a sealing element enclosing the piece of tubing in a circumferential direction, and a locking portion with at least one undercut. The plug-in part is adapted to be plugged into the receptacle of a coupling part of the plug connector arrangement in order to produce a fluid-tight connection. At least one locking element of the coupling part engages behind the plug-in part in the region of the undercut. In order to develop the plug-in part so as to reduce the risk of the sealing element being adversely affected, the undercut is formed by a protrusion which projects from the outside of the piece of tubing and extends circumferentially merely over a sub-region of the piece of tubing.
