  • Publication number: 20250012791
    Abstract: A nanostructural sensing substrate includes indium tin oxide (ITO) film coated upstanding silicon nanowires (ITO/USNWs). The ITO/USNWs are fabricated by coating an ITO film on USNWs, the density of which has been reduced using a facile Ag-assisted chemical etching method. Furthermore, the bioreceptor modified ITO/USNWs are developed to serve as the sensing substrate of the EGFETs device for label-free diagnosis of biomarker related diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD), hepatic encephalopathy, lung fibrosis, Cushing's syndrome and cancers. The ITO-coated-USNWs are also used in nano-featured cell based biosensors (CBB) for electrically quantitative evaluation of drug release.

  • Patent number: 12191151
    Abstract: A method includes forming a gate stack, growing a source/drain region on a side of the gate stack through epitaxy, depositing a contact etch stop layer (CESL) over the source/drain region, depositing an inter-layer dielectric over the CESL, etching the inter-layer dielectric and the CESL to form a contact opening, and etching the source/drain region so that the contact opening extends into the source/drain region. The method further includes depositing a metal layer extending into the contact opening. Horizontal portions, vertical portions, and corner portions of the metal layer have a substantially uniform thickness. An annealing process is performed to react the metal layer with the source/drain region to form a source/drain silicide region. The contact opening is filled to form a source/drain contact plug.
