Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a transistor. The method includes forming a first layer of a first semiconductor material above an insulation layer. The first semiconductor material is selected to provide high mobility to a first carrier type. The method also includes forming a second layer of a second semiconductor material above the first layer of semiconductor material. The second semiconductor material is selected to provide high mobility to a second carrier type opposite the first carrier type. The method further includes forming a first masking layer adjacent the second layer and etching the second layer through the first masking layer to form at least one feature in the second layer. Each feature in the second layer forms an inverted-T shape with a portion of the second layer.

Abstract: Devices comprising, and method for fabricating, a MOSFET with a metal gate electrode are disclosed. In one embodiment, the MOSFET includes a first doped region configured to receive current from a current source, a second doped region configured to drain current from the first doped region when an electric field is modified between the first doped region and the second doped region, and a gate electrode configured to modify the electric field. The gate electrode may include a high-k layer, a hafnium-based metal layer formed above the high-k layer, and a polysilicon layer formed above the hafnium-based metal layer. In a further embodiment, the gate electrode further comprises a titanium-based metal layer formed between the hafnium-based metal layer and the polysilicon layer.

Abstract: An optical fiber assembly includes a clad optical fiber having an end-cap thereon. Radiation is focused into the optical fiber via the end-cap. A roughened portion of the fiber cladding behind the end-cap allows any radiation focused into the fiber and propagating in the cladding to escape the optical fiber. A concave reflector surrounding the optical fiber reflects the escaped radiation away from the fiber assembly. A connector for connecting the optical fiber to a laser includes an air-cooled beam-dump for receiving the radiation reflected away from the optical fiber.
