  • Patent number: 12291963
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided characterizing a formation traversed by a wellbore, wherein the formation includes at least a flushed zone and an uninvaded zone, which involve obtaining well log data based on plurality of different well log measurements of the formation at multiple depths in the wellbore. The well log data is used by a computational model that solves for a set of petrophysical parameters that characterize a portion of the formation corresponding to the multiple depths in the wellbore, wherein the set of petrophysical parameters include a cementation exponent, a saturation exponent, and a flushed zone water resistivity. The solved-for set of petrophysical parameters can be used to determine a value of water saturation of the uninvaded zone for the portion of the formation corresponding to the multiple depths in the wellbore.

  • Patent number: 12272561
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure is provided. First, a first insulating layer is formed over a substrate, and a second insulating layer having an opening is formed over the first insulating layer. A conductive line structure is formed in the opening of the second insulating layer, thereby forming a contact void between the second insulating layer and the conductive line structure. A plasma oxide layer is conformally formed over the conductive line structure, the first insulating layer, and the contact void. A nitride capping layer is formed over the plasma oxide layer to fill the contact void. Then, nitrogen ions are introduced into a surface of the nitride capping layer surrounding the conductive line structure. An etching back process is performed to remove a portion of the nitride capping layer, thereby forming a refilled contact void between the first insulating layer and the conductive line structure.
