  • Patent number: 11887852
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a lateral transistor is described. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate. A dielectric layer is formed over the semiconductor substrate. A gate layer is formed over the dielectric layer. A photoresist layer is applied over the gate layer. The photoresist layer is opened by lithography to form a first opening of a first opening size in the photoresist layer. The first opening is transferred into a second opening of a second opening size, the second opening being either formed in the photoresist layer or in an auxiliary layer. A body region is formed in the semiconductor substrate by dopant implantation. Further the gate layer is structured to form a gate edge. An overlap between the structured gate layer and the body region is controlled by an offset between the first opening size and the second opening size.

  • Patent number: 11795618
    Abstract: A method for producing a paper machine clothing includes the following steps: a) providing a film-like substrate having an upper face and a lower face opposite the upper face; b) forming a pattern of holes in the substrate by boring a multiplicity of holes, which connect the upper face to the lower face, into the substrate by way of at least one laser light source. A bore hole strategy is applied which ensures that, in temporal sequence between the forming of a first hole and an immediately adjacent second hole in the pattern of holes, at least one further hole of the pattern of holes is formed in the substrate which is not immediately adjacent either the first hole or the second hole in the pattern of holes.

  • Patent number: 11794144
    Abstract: A CO2 concentration device has an adsorbent body formed from sheet material. Solid adsorbent particles are adhered onto at least a single surface of the sheet material and then the sheet material is wound onto itself or laminated in layers. The adsorbent body is divided into at least into a processing zone and a regeneration zone. CO2 is adsorbed in the processing zone when the processing zone is wet with water and a CO2 containing gas is passed through. The regeneration zone desorbs CO2 when saturated steam is passed through. Condensation heat from the steam condensing causes CO2 desorption. The solid adsorbent particles may be aligned in a linear or a staggered arrangement when the solid adsorbent particles are adhered to the sheet material to follow a gas flow and form gas introduction paths between adjacent layers of the sheet material.
