Abstract:
An apparatus includes a processing chamber having a plasma containing region, a dielectric plate secured on top of the processing chamber, a power source separated from the plasma containing region by the dielectric plate, and a chuck supported within the processing chamber. The chuck is operable and configured to move with respect to the power source.
Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and system for managing row identifier (RID) list processing on an index are provided. The method, computer program product, and system provide for accessing one or more key values in the index based on one or more keys specified in a query, retrieving a plurality of row identifiers corresponding to the one or more key values from the index, and predicting an actual number of row identifiers to be retrieved from the index based on the one or more key values accessed and the plurality of row identifiers retrieved.
Abstract:
A adjustable upper coil or electrode for a reaction chamber apparatus useable in semiconductor processing, is constructed so that its shape may be selectively changed or so at least two portions thereof may be selectively driven at different power and/or frequencies. The adjustable upper coil or electrode, therefore, enables the plasma density distribution in the reaction chamber apparatus to be selectively controlled.
Abstract:
A method is provided for the removal of liner oxide from the surface of a gate electrode during the creation of the gate electrode. A layer of gate oxide is formed over the surface of a substrate, a layer of gate electrode is deposited over the layer of gate oxide. The gate electrode is deposited, gate spacers are formed over the liner oxide, exposing surfaces of the liner oxide. The created structure is nitrided by a plasma stream containing N2/H2, reducing the etch rate of the exposed liner oxide. The liner oxide is then removed by applying a wet etch, contact regions to the gate electrode are salicided.

A new method is provided for the removal of liner oxide from the surface of a gate electrode during the creation of the gate electrode. A layer of gate oxide is formed over the surface of a substrate, a layer of gate electrode such as polyimide is deposited over the layer of gate oxide. The gate electrode and the layer of gate oxide are patterned. A layer of liner oxide is deposited, gate spacers are formed over the liner oxide, exposing surfaces of the liner oxide. The created structure is nitrided by a plasma stream containing N2/H2, reducing the etch rate of the exposed liner oxide. The liner oxide is then removed by applying a wet etch, contact regions to the gate electrode are salicided.
Abstract:
An exemplary method of making an FPC includes forming a substrate comprising metal foil layers interleaved with intervening layers by: (a) laminating intervening layers with metal foil layers; (b) adhering a covering film to outermost surfaces of the substrate; (c) defining a hole in one side of the substrate through the covering film and at least two metal foil layers and the intervening layer between the at least two metal foil layers by etching or laser technology; and (d) plating a portion of an inner wall of the hole with conductive material to form a via to electrically connect the at least two metal foil layers.
Abstract:
A camera module includes a lens module, an image sensor, and a circuit board. The image sensor module is disposed in an image side of the lens module. The circuit board is electronically connected with the image sensor module. The circuit board includes a receiving chamber defined therein. The receiving chamber receives the image sensor module. The lens module is mounted on the circuit board and covers the receiving chamber. The image sensor module is fixed in the receiving chamber that is defined in the circuit board therein. Therefore, a thickness of the camera module along the axis of the camera module is decreased and a volume of the camera module becomes thinner compare with the conventional camera module.

Abstract:
A process for forming a composite insulator spacer on the sides of a MOSFET gate structure, wherein the underlying component of the composite insulator spacer is comprised of a thin silicon oxide layer obtained via chemical vapor deposition procedures using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), as a source, has been developed. To densify the underlying thin silicon oxide layer an anneal procedure usually performed after implantation of ions used for a lightly doped source/drain region, is delayed and performed after deposition of the thin silicon oxide layer. The anneal procedure is then used for both activation of the lightly doped source/drain ions, and densification of the thin silicon oxide layer. The etch rate of the densified silicon oxide layer, in dilute hydrofluoric acid procedures is now reduced allowing the underlying silicon oxide component, of the composite insulator spacer, to survive subsequent wet clean procedures employing dilute hydrofluoric acid.
