Abstract: A method of manufacturing a finned semiconductor device structure is provided. The method begins by providing a substrate having bulk semiconductor material. The method continues by forming a semiconductor fin structure from the bulk semiconductor material, depositing an insulating material overlying the semiconductor fin structure such that the insulating material fills space adjacent to the semiconductor fin structure, and planarizing the deposited insulating material and the semiconductor fin structure to create a flat surface. Thereafter, a replacement gate procedure is performed to form a gate structure transversely overlying the semiconductor fin structure.

Abstract: A method for defining the shape of an edge of an aerofoil comprises the following steps: obtaining a starting value for the thickness of the edge; defining a distance from the edge of the aerofoil in terms of the thickness; over the defined distance, defining a space S in terms of normalised camberline and normalised thickness; transforming the space S to a new space S?; parameterising the new space S? to obtain new values for normalised camberline and normalised thickness; defining a new shape for the edge using the new parameter values.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and related fabrication methods are provided. One exemplary fabrication method forms a fin arrangement overlying an oxide layer, where the fin arrangement includes one or more semiconductor fin structures. The method continues by nitriding exposed portions of the oxide layer without nitriding the one or more semiconductor fin structures, resulting in nitrided portions of the oxide layer. Thereafter, a gate structure is formed transversely overlying the fin arrangement, and overlying the exposed portions of the oxide layer. The nitrided portions of the oxide layer substantially inhibit diffusion of oxygen from the oxide layer into the gate structure.

Abstract: A second optional poker tournament fee allows participating players a chance to receive a payout when finishing the poker tournament in one of one or more extra bubble spots. So, if the player finishes close to the conventional bubble position the player may receive a payout if he or she paid the second optional fee. The number of extra spots is based on the number of second optional fees paid. In one version, if no players finish in the extra bubble spots the house collects the second optional fees as profits. In another version, the second optional fees, or a portion thereof, are used to increase the payouts associated with the conventional payout scheme independent of the second optional fees.
