20130093024 | STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING FRONT END SiCr RESISTORS IN HiK METAL GATE TECHNOLOGIES - An integrated circuit having a replacement HiK metal gate transistor and a front end SiCr resistor. The SiCr resistor replaces the conventional polysilicon resistor in front end processing and is integrated into the contact module. The first level of metal interconnect is located above the SiCr resistor. First contacts connect to source/drain regions. Second contacts electrically connect the first level of interconnect to either the SiCr resistor or the metal replacement gate. | 04-18-2013 |
20130095630 | THRESHOLD MISMATCH AND IDDQ REDUCTION USING SPLIT CARBON CO-IMPLANTATION - An integrated circuit containing MOS transistors may be formed using a split carbon co-implantation. The split carbon co-implant includes an angled carbon implant and a zero-degree carbon implant that is substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the integrated circuit. The split carbon co-implant is done at the LDD and halo implant steps. | 04-18-2013 |
20150054084 | SILICIDE FORMATION DUE TO IMPROVED SiGe FACETING - An integrated circuit includes a PMOS gate structure and a gate structure on adjacent field oxide. An epitaxy hard mask is formed over the gate structure on the field oxide so that the epitaxy hard mask overlaps the semiconductor material in PMOS source/drain region. SiGe semiconductor material is epitaxially formed in the source/drain regions, so that that a top edge of the SiGe semiconductor material at the field oxide does not extend more than one third of a depth of the SiGe in the source/drain region abutting the field oxide. Dielectric spacers on lateral surfaces of the gate structure on the field oxide extend onto the SiGe; at least one third of the SiGe is exposed. Metal silicide covers at least one third of a top surface of the SiGe. A contact has at least half of a bottom of the contact directly contacts the metal silicide on the SiGe. | 02-26-2015 |
20150187656 | LASER ANNEALS FOR REDUCED DIODE LEAKAGE - An integrated circuit with reduced gate induced drain leakage and with reduced reverse biased diode leakage is formed using a process that employs a first laser anneal, a rapid thermal anneal, and a second laser anneal after implanting the source and drain dopant to improve transistor performance. | 07-02-2015 |

20140136118 | METHODS FOR EVALUATING CANINE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY - The invention provides methods and devices for evaluating and tracking canine physical activity by determining for a canine (1) the duration of an activity or exercise; the speed of the activity or exercise based on the type of activity or exercise pace, e.g., walking, trotting, cantering, or running; a breed category factor to accommodate speed differences in distance travelled because of differences in body size and stride length; and an age factor and (2) calculating physical activity points (PAP) for the canine using an equation designed to accept input for the variables in (1) and use those variables to calculate PAP. The results from the equation are used to evaluate the physical activity of the canine and, based upon the evaluation, alter, if required, the canine's physical activity in a way that benefits the canine, particularly the canine's health. | 05-15-2014 |
