  • Patent number: 7531398
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is fabricated having a metal stress inducing layer that facilitates channel mobility. A gate dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate. The metal stress inducing layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer. The metal stress inducing layer has a selected conductivity type and is formed and composed to yield a select stress amount and type. A gate layer, such as a polysilicon layer, is formed over the metal stress inducing layer. The gate layer and the metal stress inducing layer are patterned to define gate structures.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6501956
    Abstract: The inventive system provides a user interface between a wireless communication device and an information service provider. The interface allows for a blended presentation of information and calling services for implementing an information service to a user of a wireless communication device. The user establishes an initial connection with a data network server to receive a particular service. The data network server sends a set of wireless protocol instructions to the user's mobile device. Based on these instructions, the mobile device will display information to the user which can be used to select a particular service. While preferably presenting a continuous display to the user, the wireless protocol instructions initiate a communication connection between the mobile device and a voice server with speech recognition capabilities.
