  • Publication number: 20220280673
    Abstract: Disclosed is a malodor control system that includes use of a malodor scavenger to sequester a malodor molecule to reduce and/or eliminate the noxious odor the malodor molecule generates. Some embodiments can include use of a substrate as a non-woven fabric sheet as a delivery system for the malodor scavenger. The substrate can include a polymer complexed with active ingredient to lock the active ingredient in place at a surface of the substrate via a binder so that the active ingredient is present at a predetermined activity level. After interacting with malodor molecules, at least some of the active ingredient migrates via passive diffusion to the substrate surface to maintain the predetermined activity level. Embodiments of the substrate are made from a blend of polyester and rayon, wherein rayon is made using viscose, allowing the substrate to be biodegradable and to handle an increased load of active ingredient.

  • Patent number: 11295995
    Abstract: A technique relates probing a pass gate transistor in a static random access memory (SRAM) circuit. A gate probe is connected to a gate metal layer of the SRAM circuit, the gate metal layer being coupled to a gate of the pass gate transistor. A source probe is connected to a source metal layer of the SRAM circuit, the source metal layer being coupled to a source of the pass gate transistor. A drain probe is connected to a drain metal layer of the SRAM circuit, the drain metal layer being coupled to a drain of the pass gate transistor, the SRAM circuit comprising other transistors along with the pass gate transistor.

  • Patent number: 11062911
    Abstract: First lithography and etching are carried out on a semiconductor structure to provide a first intermediate semiconductor structure having a first set of surface features corresponding to a first portion of desired fin formation mandrels. Second lithography and etching are carried out on the first intermediate structure, using a second mask, to provide a second intermediate semiconductor structure having a second set of surface features corresponding to a second portion of the mandrels. The second set of surface features are unequally spaced from the first set of surface features and/or the features have different pitch. The fin formation mandrels are formed in the second intermediate semiconductor structure using the first and second sets of surface features; spacer material is deposited over the mandrels and is etched back to form a third intermediate semiconductor structure having a fin pattern.

  • Patent number: 10621295
    Abstract: A system and method to perform risk assessment or design rule determination for an integrated circuit involves generating two or more process variation contours based on corresponding two or more combinations of two or more factors that affect manufacturability of the integrated circuit. Each of the two or more process variation contours is associated with a probability. The method also includes generating a random number to select from among the two or more process variation contours based on a cumulative probability value associated with each of the two or more process variation contours. The cumulative probability values are determined from the probabilities. The risk assessment or the design rule determination is performed using selected ones of the two or more process variation contours. Fabrication yield is increased based on finalizing the physical layout using the process variation contours.
