  • Patent number: 12635180
    Abstract: In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical stack of horizontal nanowires laterally spaced apart from a second vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. An epitaxial source or drain structure is between the first and second vertical stacks of horizontal nanowires. The epitaxial source or drain structure includes a nucleation layer having a first portion in contact with the first vertical stack of horizontal nanowires and a second portion in contact with the second vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. The nucleation layer includes silicon with arsenic dopants. The epitaxial source or drain structure also includes an epitaxial fill layer laterally between the first and second portions of the nucleation layer. The epitaxial fill layer includes silicon with phosphorous dopants. The epitaxial fill layer has a total atomic concentration of arsenic less than half of a total atomic concentration of arsenic of the nucleation layer.

  • Patent number: 12224337
    Abstract: III-N e-mode high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) including a dopant diffusion spacer between an impurity-doped III-N material layer and a III-N polarization layer of the HEMT material stack. The spacer may be a substantially undoped III-N material, such as GaN. With the diffusion spacer, P-type impurities within the pGaN are setback from the polarization layer sufficiently to avoid significant levels of P-type impurities from entering the III-N material interface where the 2DEG resides. With the diffusion spacer, clustering of impurities near the 2DEG may be avoided and a III-N e-mode HEMT may achieve higher drive currents.

  • Patent number: 7623357
    Abstract: Described is an apparatus for releasably coupling an electrical component to a circuit board comprising a frame and at least one tab. The frame releasably couples to the electrical component and circumscribes at least a portion of a perimeter of the electrical component when coupled thereto. The at least one tab mates with a tab receiving slot in the circuit board to releasably couple the frame to the circuit board. When the electrical component is coupled to the frame, a portion of the electrical component opposite the circuit board is exposed.

  • Patent number: 7621497
    Abstract: Described is a ceiling mount for a device comprising a channel member and a latch. The channel member includes a side surface extending upward a first predetermined distance from a top surface of a housing of the device and a horizontal surface extending for a second predetermined distance away from the side surface in a direction substantially parallel to the top surface to define a first ceiling member receiving channel between the horizontal surface and the top surface. The latch is rotatably attached to the top surface. The latch defines a second ceiling member receiving channel between the latch and the top surface, so that when rotated, the latch covers the second ceiling member receiving channel.

  • Patent number: 7251133
    Abstract: Described is a device which includes a housing, a chimney and a heat dissipation element. The housing includes at least one heat generating electric component mounted within an interior space thereof. The chimney extends from a proximal end surrounding a space adjacent to the at least one component through an opening in the housing to a distal end outside the housing. The heat dissipation element is attached to the distal end of the chimney and separated from the housing so that heat from the at least one component travels through the chimney to the heat dissipation element from which it is dissipated.
