Patents by Inventor Michael S. Leib

Michael S. Leib has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11961767
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication and, in particular, 10 nanometer node and smaller integrated circuit structure fabrication and the resulting structures. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a P-type semiconductor device above a substrate and including first and second semiconductor source or drain regions adjacent first and second sides of a first gate electrode. A first metal silicide layer is directly on the first and second semiconductor source or drain regions. An N-type semiconductor device includes third and fourth semiconductor source or drain regions adjacent first and second sides of a second gate electrode. A second metal silicide layer is directly on the third and fourth semiconductor source or drain regions, respectively. The first metal silicide layer comprises at least one metal species not included in the second metal silicide layer.

  • Patent number: 11955532
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication and, in particular, 10 nanometer node and smaller integrated circuit structure fabrication and the resulting structures. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate comprising an N well region having a semiconductor fin protruding therefrom. A trench isolation layer is on the semiconductor substrate around the semiconductor fin, wherein the semiconductor fin extends above the trench isolation layer. A gate dielectric layer is over the semiconductor fin. A conductive layer is over the gate dielectric layer over the semiconductor fin, the conductive layer comprising titanium, nitrogen and oxygen. A P-type metal gate layer is over the conductive layer over the semiconductor fin.

  • Patent number: 11948997
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication and, in particular, 10 nanometer node and smaller integrated circuit structure fabrication and the resulting structures. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a fin. A gate dielectric layer is over the top of the fin and laterally adjacent the sidewalls of the fin. A gate electrode is over the gate dielectric layer over the top of the fin and laterally adjacent the sidewalls of the fin. First and second semiconductor source or drain regions are adjacent the first and second sides of the gate electrode, respectively. First and second trench contact structures are over the first and second semiconductor source or drain regions, respectively, the first and second trench contact structures both comprising a U-shaped metal layer and a T-shaped metal layer on and over the entirety of the U-shaped metal layer.

  • Publication number: 20100162140
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a guide to on-line content are provided. The guide may allow users to more easily find desirable on-line content such as on-line events. On-line events may include, for example, on-line events of formats such as chat sessions, simulchats, Webcasts, television programming enhancements, limited availability on-demand content, or any other suitable format of on-line event. The guide may provide users with the ability to filter listings for on-line events so that only listings of user-specified criteria are displayed. The guide may allow providers of on-line events to provide event information for use in providing on-line event listings or other guidance features.
