20090309967 | Hand-held inspection tool and method - The hand-held inspection tool enhances the ability of an on-site inspector to detect and communicate the presence of contamination on an object or in an area. An on-site inspector directs an excitation light in the sensing head of the tool into an area of interest. If the targeted contamination is present, the excitation light causes the contamination to emit fluorescence. The emitted fluorescent light passes through a narrow spectral band-pass video camera filter and is detected by a video camera mounted in the tool sensing head. The video camera transmits the image to a display visible to the on-site inspector. The invention also includes a means of recording, documenting, and wirelessly communicating the inspection process so that remotely located personnel can view the inspection, and respond to the inspection findings in real time. | 12-17-2009 |

20130295757 | SHORT GATE-LENGTH HIGH ELECTRON-MOBILITY TRANSISTORS WITH ASYMMETRIC RECESS AND SELF-ALIGNED OHMIC ELECTRODES - A method for fabricating InP-based high electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) and GaAs-based metamorphic electron-mobility transistors (MHEMTs) by utilizing asymmetrically recessed Γ-gates and self-aligned ohmic electrodes is disclosed. The fabrication starts with mesa isolation, followed by gate recess and gate metal deposition, in which the gate foot is placed asymmetrically in the recess groove, with the offset towards the source. It is important to use Γ-gates as the shadow mask for ohmic metal deposition, because it allows a source-gate spacing as small as 0.1 micron, greatly reducing the critical source resistance, and it retains a relatively large gate-drain spacing, enabling a decent breakdown voltage when coupled with the asymmetric gate recess. It is also critical to maintain a large stem height of the Γ-gates to assure a sufficient gap between the top of the gates and the ohmic metal after its deposition to reduce the parasitic capacitance. The uniqueness of this technology would best fit the applications that require low voltage and/or low DC power consumption. | 11-07-2013 |
