Abstract: The present application provides antibody-TCR chimeric constructs comprising an antibody moiety that specifically binds to a target antigen fused to a TCRM capable of recruiting at least one TCR-associated signaling module. Also provided are methods of making and using these constructs.

Abstract: Methods for reducing contact resistance include performing a selective titanium silicide (TiSi) deposition process on a middle of the line (MOL) contact structure that includes a cavity in a substrate of dielectric material. The contact structure also includes a silicon-based connection portion at a bottom of the cavity. The selective TiSi deposition process is selective to silicon-based material over dielectric material. The methods also include performing a selective deposition process of a metal material on the MOL contact structure. The selective deposition process is selective to TiSi material over dielectric material and forms a silicide capping layer on the silicon-based connection portion. The methods further include performing a seed layer deposition process of the metal material on the contact structure.

Abstract: A connector connection terminal for an electrical connector includes a main body part, a soldering leg and a transition section. The main body part is adapted to be installed inside an insulating housing of the electrical connector. The soldering leg is adapted to be soldered onto a circuit board so as to electrically connect the connection terminal to the circuit board. The soldering leg and the main body part have different widths. The transition section extends from the main body part to the soldering leg such that a width of at least a portion of the transition section is gradually changed.
