Patent number: 11264285Abstract: Three-dimensional integration can overcome scaling limitations by increasing transistor density in volume rather than area. To provided gate-all-around field-effect-transistor devices with different threshold voltages and doping types on the same substrate, methods are provided for growing adjacent nanosheet stacks having channels with different doping profiles. In one example, a first nanosheet stack is formed having channels with first doping characteristics. Then the first nanosheet stack is etched, and a second nanosheet stack is formed in plane with the first nanosheet stack. The second nanosheet stack has channels with different doping characteristics. This process can be repeated for additional nanosheet stacks. In another example, the formation of the nanosheet stacks with channels having different doping characteristics is performed by restricting layer formation to predefined locations using a patterned layer (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Mark Gardner, Jim Fulford

Patent number: 10974299Abstract: 3D printing using certain materials, such as metal containing multi-phase materials can be prone to clogs and other flow interruptions. Providing build material according to feed rate profiles having varying rates can mitigate these problems. Each feed rate profile can be broken up into blocks of time, some of which relate to fabricating the exterior geometry of the object. Each block of time can be represented by a FFT. The blocks that relate to the exterior are represented by a FFT that has significant high frequency content of 1 Hz or greater. It is beneficial to use profiles including feed rates outside of a range of feed rates suitable for steady state extrusion, being either higher or lower rates than the range limits. A combination of feed rate profiles based only on clog and flow interruption mitigation and operational to print the part according to a model can be used.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Desktop Metal, Inc.Inventors: Uwe Bauer, Emanuel Michael Sachs, Mark Gardner Gibson, Nicholas Graham Bandiera
