  • Patent number: 9430865
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a real-time dynamic non-planar projection apparatus and method, which can reduce visual errors, such as distortion of a screen image or deviation from a border area, upon projecting screen images from a projector onto the surface of a non-planar object that is moved in real time. The presented real-time dynamic non-planar projection apparatus includes a preprocessing unit for preprocessing data related to a static part of a screen image to be projected onto a non-planar surface. A real-time projection unit classifies non-planar objects in the screen image to be projected onto the non-planar surface into a rigid body and a non-rigid body using data output from the preprocessing unit, respectively renders the rigid body and the non-rigid body depending on a viewer's current viewpoint, and projects rendered results onto the non-planar surface via projection mapping.

  • Patent number: 9418846
    Abstract: An approach to providing a method of forming a dopant junction in a semiconductor device. The approach includes performing a surface modification treatment on an exposed surface of a semiconductor layer and depositing a dopant material on the exposed surface of the semiconductor layer. Additionally, the approach includes performing a low temperature anneal in an oxygen free environment followed by depositing a metal layer on the dopant layer. Furthermore, the approach includes alloying the metal layer with the dopant layer to form a semiconductor device junction where the semiconductor layer is composed of a Group III-V semiconductor material, the surface modification treatment occurs in a vacuum chamber to remove surface oxides from the exposed surface of the semiconductor layer, and each of the above processes occur at a low temperature.

  • Patent number: 9397161
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device may include receiving a gated substrate comprising a substrate with a channel layer and a gate structure formed thereon, over-etching the channel layer to expose an extension region below the gate structure, epitaxially growing a halo layer on the exposed extension region using a first in-situ dopant and epitaxially growing a source or drain on the halo layer using a second in-situ dopant, wherein the first in-situ dopant and the second in-situ dopant are of opposite doping polarity. Using an opposite doping polarity may provide an energy band barrier for the semiconductor device and reduce leakage current. A corresponding apparatus is also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 9391171
    Abstract: A semiconductor fin including a single crystalline semiconductor material is formed on a dielectric layer. A semiconductor shell including an epitaxial semiconductor material is formed on all physically exposed surfaces of the semiconductor fin by selective epitaxy, which deposits the semiconductor material only on semiconductor surfaces and not on dielectric surfaces. The epitaxial semiconductor material can be different from the single crystalline semiconductor material, and the semiconductor shell can be bilaterally strained due to lattice mismatch. A fin field effect transistor including a strained channel can be formed. Further, the semiconductor shell can advantageously alter properties of the source and drain regions, for example, by allowing incorporation of more dopants or by facilitating a metallization process.
