  • Publication number: 20230317850
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be related to creating a low resistance electrical path within a transistor between a front side trench connector and back side contacts and/or metal layers of the transistor. The low resistance electrical path does not go through a fin of the transistor that includes epitaxial material, but rather may go through a conductive path that does not include an epitaxial material. Embodiments may be compatible with a self-aligned back side contact architecture, which does not rely on deep via patterning. Other embodiments may be described and/or shown.

  • Publication number: 20230307514
    Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having backside contact with enhanced area relative to an epitaxial source or drain region are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of nanowires and a second vertical arrangement of nanowires. A gate stack is over the first and second vertical arrangements of nanowires. First epitaxial source or drain structures are at ends of the first vertical arrangement of nanowires. Second epitaxial source or drain structures are at ends of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. A conductive structure is vertically beneath and in contact with one of the first epitaxial source or drain structures. The conductive structure is along an entirety of a bottom of the one of the first epitaxial source or drain structures, and the conductive structure can also be along a portion of sides of one of the first epitaxial source or drain structures.

  • Patent number: 10314381
    Abstract: A re-useable haircutting collar that is water resistant to dripping liquids and hair particles to protect a user's clothing and skin. The collar is made from flexible silicone or latex of a shore rating of extra soft to soft, skin adherent, non-toxic, and is a ring-shaped sheet, with an inner edge, mid-section, and outer edge, and with two opposing ends that overlap. The ends are tightly self-adhering to each other; therefore, the collars do not require fasteners to secure the ends together, and can be easily adjusted to fit any neck size to form a tight, but comfortable water seal. The collar is also lightweight and bendable to lay about vertically against the base of a user's neck and angled along their collarbone. Different collars embodiments also comprise differences in the thickness along the collar width at the top surface to provide different levels of collar flexibility.

  • Publication number: 20160047735
    Abstract: A microfluidic device comprises: a channel extending from a plurality of inlets to a plurality of outlets, wherein the channel is bounded by a first wall and a second wall opposite from the first wall; and an array of obstacles disposed within the channel configured to deflect particles in a sample comprising the particles toward the second wall when the particles are flowed from the inlets to the outlets. The particles are inputted into at least one of the plurality of inlets and are deflected through a series of parallel flow streams flowing from the plurality of inlets to the plurality of outlets while being deflected toward the second wall, wherein streams in the parallel flows comprise a reagent. Microfluidic devices and methods greatly improve cell quality, streamline workflows, and lower costs. Applications include research and clinical diagnostics in cancer, infectious disease, and inflammatory disease, among other disease areas.
