Patents by Inventor Olivier Weber

Olivier Weber 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).

  • Publication number: 20150041900
    Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated circuit comprising a semi-conducting substrate and first and second cells. Each cell comprises first and second transistors of nMOS and pMOS type including first and second gate stacks including a gate metal. There are first and second ground planes under the first and second transistors and an oxide layer extending between the transistors and the ground planes. The gate metals of the nMOS and of a pMOS exhibit a first work function and the gate metal of the other pMOS exhibiting a second work function greater than the first work function. The difference between the work functions is between 55 and 85 meV and the first work function Wf1 satisfies the relation Wfmg?0.04?0.005*Xge<Wf1<Wfmg?0.03?0.005*Xge.

  • Publication number: 20150021692
    Abstract: A substrate of the silicon on insulator type includes a semi-conducting film disposed on a buried insulating layer which is disposed on an unstressed silicon support substrate. The semi-conducting film includes a first film zone of tensile-stressed silicon and a second film zone of tensile-relaxed silicon. Openings through the buried insulating layer permit access to the unstressed silicon support substrate under the first and second film zones. An N channel transistor is formed from the first film zone and a P channel transistor is formed from the second film zone. The second film zone may comprise germanium enriched silicon forming a compressive-stressed region.

  • Patent number: 8006410
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shoe, especially for sport or leisure, comprising an upper, a sole and a lacing device having at least one clamping strip passing through a space arranged at the level of the sole and a clamping element. The clamping element is attached, on the one hand, to a first end of the clamping strip and, on the other hand, to a holding zone placed at the rear of the shoe. The second end of the clamping strip, passing through the clamping element comprises an attachment device on the upper, allowing the fixing of the strip. Cooperation exists between the clamping strip, the clamping element and the holding zone causing tensing of the upper at the level of the instep and the articulation above the heel.
