Abstract:
A silicon semiconductor die comprises a heavily doped silicon substrate and an upper layer comprising doped silicon of a first conduction type disposed on the substrate. The upper layer comprises a well region of a second, opposite conduction type adjacent an edge termination zone that comprises a layer of a material having a higher critical electric field than silicon. Both the well region and adjacent edge termination zone are disposed at an upper surface of the upper layer, and an oxide layer overlies the upper layer and the edge termination zone. A process for forming a silicon die having improved edge termination. The process comprises forming an upper layer comprising doped silicon of a first conduction type on a heavily doped silicon substrate, and forming an edge termination zone that comprises a layer of a material having a higher critical electric field than silicon at an upper surface of the upper layer. A well region of a second, opposite conduction type is formed at the upper surface of the upper layer adjacent the edge termination zone, and an oxide layer is formed over the upper layer and edge termination zone.
Abstract:
A power trench MOS-gated transistor is constructed with a buried gate to source dielectric inside a gate trench region. In the innovative device, a thick oxide (grown or deposited) is used to define the height of the trench walls. A body region is initially formed by selective epitaxial growth and etch back. Source regions are formed also by selective epitaxial growth. The body is finally formed by selective epitaxial growth and etch back. The oxide is removed from the trench, the trench walls are oxidized to form a gate oxide, and doped polysilicon fills the trench to form a gate. By the formation of the source region using the spacer etch, this process simplifies the fabrication of power trench gated devices, and provides for increased contact surface area without increasing device size.
Abstract:
A print production system includes a dispatcher and a task-resource scheduler. The dispatcher sorts print requests for placement among a series of containers to identify relative priorities among all print requests in each container and then merges the containers together to produce a prioritized list of print requests among all containers. Upon release by the dispatcher of a top N print requests from the prioritized list, the scheduler converts the prioritized list into a task-resource schedule for print production.
Abstract:
Devices and methods for tracking a print job using an assignable electronic device on a print service provider (PSP) production floor are provided. One such method includes scanning a barcode-enabled job ticket assigned to a print job using a mobile electronic device assigned to a location on a print service provider production floor and sending barcode data from the barcode-enabled job ticket from to a PSP controller. The mobile electronic device may receive workflow instructions associated with the print job from the PSP controller. In addition, the mobile electronic device may display a representation of the workflow instructions.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a compound comprising at least one of a carbon or an oxygen isotope and a process for preparing the compound. The process comprises irradiating a compound comprising at least one of a carbon or an oxygen atom using photons or particles having an energy in the range of 20 MeV-430 MeV. The carbon and/or the oxygen atom is then allowed to be converted into a carbon and/or an oxygen positron nuclide through a photonuclear reaction. Provided that the molecular structure of the compound is not disrupted, the compound comprising the carbon and/or the oxygen isotope is prepared. The compound may be used in positron and/or other nuclide imaging to obtain a distribution and/or metabolic image of the compound in a human and/or animal body.
Abstract:
Improved highly reliable power RFP structures and fabrication and operation processes. The structure includes plurality of localized dopant concentrated zones beneath the trenches of RFPs, either floating or extending and merging with the body layer of the MOSFET or connecting with the source layer through a region of vertical doped region. This local dopant zone decreases the minority carrier injection efficiency of the body diode of the device and alters the electric field distribution during the body diode reverse recovery.
Abstract:
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium has embedded therein instructions executable by a processor. The instructions simulate an operation of a print service provider (PSP) using a model of a printing system with a set of operation parameters for performing the PSP operation. The instructions determine a monitoring strategy based on the simulated PSP operation. The monitoring strategy is for monitoring the PSP operation when performed in the printing system.
