  • Publication number: 20220376090
    Abstract: Doping techniques for fin-like field effect transistors (FinFETs) are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes forming a fin structure, forming a doped amorphous layer over a portion of the fin structure, and performing a knock-on implantation process to drive a dopant from the doped amorphous layer into the portion of the fin structure, thereby forming a doped feature. The doped amorphous layer includes a non-crystalline form of a material. In some implementations, the knock-on implantation process crystallizes at least a portion of the doped amorphous layer, such that the portion of the doped amorphous layer becomes a part of the fin structure. In some implementations, the doped amorphous layer includes amorphous silicon, and the knock-on implantation process crystallizes a portion of the doped amorphous silicon layer.

  • Publication number: 20210387594
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a digital contactless signing system for the flexible tobacco distribution, which comprises a cigarette store, a vehicle system, a vehicle access system, a database, a historical database, a server, an information entry unit, an information transmission unit, a distribution system, a client terminal and a two-dimensional code information unit, wherein the cigarette store is connected with the vehicle access system connected with the vehicle access system. The disclosure changes paper tickets into network electronic tickets, and adopts two-dimension code scanning to complete a confirmation of the tobacco handing-over between a distributor and a customer, thereby effectively saving expenses of the paper tickets. An error rate of the signing system is extremely low and almost close to zero due to changing the paper tickets to the network electronic tickets, and a whole data accuracy is improved for signing for the cigarette materials.
