Publication number: 20180166402Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a metal thin film such as an eFUSE or a precision resistor above and laterally displaced from an interconnect structure. A first dielectric layer is disposed over the interconnect structure and optionally under the metal thin film, and is adapted to prevent etching of the interconnect structure during patterning of the metal thin film. Contacts to the metal thin film and the interconnect are made through a second dielectric layer that is disposed over the metal thin film and over the interconnect.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2016Publication date: June 14, 2018Applicant: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventors: Viraj SARDESAI, William HENSON, Domingo FERRER LUPPI, Scott ALLEN, Emre ALPTEKIN

Publication number: 20170210610Abstract: Provided is a ready-to-install apparatus for dispensing carbonated beverages and/or beverages on draught that incorporates a flow sensor and a pinch valve and may be coupled to the end of a beer line (or any other tubing used for beverage dispensing) without having to be integrated within the line (i.e. eliminating the need to make multiple cuts for the valve, the flow sensor, etc.) The beverage dispensing apparatus reduces foaming by reducing the number of components that come into contact with the fluid and/or interfere with flow. For example, the beverage dispensing apparatus may utilize an external flow sensor to reduce the creation of nucleation sites where CO2 bubbles may form. In another example, a pinch valve may be used to prevent excessive foaming in place of conventional valves that must be placed proximal to the keg.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2017Publication date: July 27, 2017Inventors: Zachary William Henson, Ryan Patrick Sauter, Daniel Steven Martinez

Publication number: 20070254478Abstract: A method for fabricating a silicide gate field effect transistor includes masking a silicon source/drain region prior to forming the silicide gate by annealing a metal silicide forming metal layer contacting a silicon-containing gate. The silicide gate may be either a fully silicided gate or a partially silicided gate. After unmasking the source/drain region a silicide layer may be formed upon the source/drain region, and also upon the partially silicided gate. The second silicide layer and the partially silicided gate also provide a fully silicided gate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2006Publication date: November 1, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Zhijiong Luo, William Henson, Christian Lavoie, Huilong Zhu

Publication number: 20070235759Abstract: An integration scheme for providing Si gates for nFET devices and SiGe gates for pFET devices on the same semiconductor substrate is provided. The integration scheme includes first providing a material stack comprising, from bottom to top, a gate dielectric, a Si film, and a hard mask on a surface of a semiconductor substrate that includes at least one nFET device region and at least one pFET device region. Next, the hard mask is selectively removed from the material stack in the at least one pFET device region thereby exposing the Si film. The exposed Si film is then converted into a SiGe film and thereafter at least one nFET device is formed in the least one nFET device region and at least one pFET device is formed in the at least one pFET device region. In accordance with the present invention, the least one nFET device includes a Si gate and the at least one pFET includes a SiGe gate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2006Publication date: October 11, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William Henson, Yaocheng Liu, Alexander Reznicek, Kern Rim, Devendra Sadana

Publication number: 20070228458Abstract: An integration scheme that enables full silicidation (FUSI) of the nFET and pFET gate electrodes at the same time as that of the source/drain regions is provided. The FUSI of the gate electrodes eliminates the gate depletion problem that is observed with polysilicon gate electrodes. In addition, the inventive integration scheme creates different silicon thicknesses of the gate electrode just prior to silicidation. This feature of the present invention allows for fabricating nFETs and pFETs that have a band edge workfunction that is tailored for the specific device region.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2006Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: William Henson, Kern Rim, Jack Mandelman

Publication number: 20070212861Abstract: A sheet resistance stabilized recrystallized antimony doped region may be formed within a semiconductor substrate by annealing a corresponding antimony doped amorphized region at a temperature from about 1050° C. to about 1400° C. for a time period from about 0.1 to about 10 milliseconds. Preferably, a laser surface treatment is used. The laser surface treatment preferably uses a solid phase epitaxy. In addition, the antimony doped region may be co-doped with at least one of a phosphorus dopant and an arsenic dopant. The antimony dopant and the laser surface treatment lend sheet resistance stability that is otherwise absent when forming solely phosphorus and/or arsenic doped regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2006Publication date: September 13, 2007Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Dureseti Chidambarrao, Sameer Jain, William Henson, Kern Rim

Publication number: 20070131123Abstract: A mold form fryer utilizing a top conveyor that transports snack pieces through a constant velocity oil stream without the need for a bottom mating mold or conveyor. Herein, the form fryer is provided with a top conveyor disposed above a fryer oil pan positioned longitudinally through the fryer. Uncooked snack pieces are provided to the fryer oil pan by a bottom entrance conveyor. Snack pieces, once in oil within the fryer, meet with a top conveyor having convex molding surfaces with product-centering elements. At the exit portion of the fryer, a bottom exit conveyor receives the cooked snack pieces from the top conveyor. As no continuous bottom conveyor is utilized, the fryer oil pan may be provided with a reduced volume segment situated between the bottom entrance and exit conveyors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2007Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: William Henson, Harold McKay, Donald Tatsch
