20150236248TOP ELECTRODE ETCH IN A MAGNETORESISTIVE DEVICE AND DEVICES MANUFACTURED USING SAME - A two-step etching process is used to form the top electrode for a magnetoresistive device. The level of isotropy is different for each of the two etching steps, thereby providing advantages associated with isotropic etching as well as more anisotropic etching. The level of isotropy is controlled by varying power and pressure during plasma etching operations.08-20-2015
20150236249NON-REACTIVE PHOTORESIST REMOVAL AND SPACER LAYER OPTIMIZATION IN A MAGNETORESISTIVE DEVICE - In forming a top electrode for a magnetoresistive device, photoresist used in patterning the electrode is stripped using a non-reactive stripping process. Such a non-reactive stripping process uses water vapor or some other non-oxidizing gas that also passivates exposed portions the magnetoresistive device. In such magnetoresistive devices, a non-reactive spacer layer is included that helps prevent diffusion between layers in the magnetoresistive device, where the non-reactive nature of the spacer layer prevents sidewall roughness that can interfere with accurate formation of the lower portions of the magnetoresistive device.08-20-2015
20150236250TOP ELECTRODE ETCH IN A MAGNETORESISTIVE DEVICE AND DEVICES MANUFACTURED USING SAME - A two-step etching process is used to form the top electrode for a magnetoresistive device. The etching chemistries are different for each of the two etching steps. The first chemistry used to etch the top portion of the electrode is more selective with respect to the conductive material of the top electrode, thereby reducing unwanted erosion of the photoresist and hard mask layers. The second chemistry is less corrosive than the first chemistry and does not damage the layers underlying the top electrode, such as those included in the magnetic tunnel junction.08-20-2015
20150236254Method of Integration of a Magnetoresistive Structure - A conductive via disposed beneath a magnetic device and aligned therewith. In certain embodiments, an electrode formed on the conductive via may be polished to eliminate step functions or seams originating at the conductive via from propagating up through the various deposited layers. This integration approach allows for improved scaling of the MRAM devices to, for example, a 45 nanometer node.08-20-2015
20150357559TOP ELECTRODE COUPLING IN A MAGNETORESISTIVE DEVICE USING AN ETCH STOP LAYER - A layer of silicon nitride above the bottom electrode and on the sidewalls of the magnetoresistive stack serves as an insulator and an etch stop during manufacturing of a magnetoresistive device. Non-selective chemical mechanical polishing removes any silicon nitride overlying a top electrode for the device along with silicon dioxide used for encapsulation. Later etching operations corresponding to formation of a via to reach the top electrode use selective etching chemistries that remove silicon dioxide to access the top electrode, but do not remove silicon nitride. Thus, the silicon nitride acts as an etch stop, and, in the resulting device, provides an insulating layer that prevents unwanted short circuits between the via and the bottom electrode and between the via and the sidewalls of the magnetoresistive device stack.12-10-2015

The refillable liquid reservoir is mounted away from the immediate treatment zone, avoiding orientation issues associated with other types of nebulizers having a self-contained reservoir. The system can produce aerosols having a wide range of droplet sizes, depending upon central lumen diameter, with values of MMAD that range from 4 to 30 μm.12-17-2015

20160057617System and method for providing a public/private telephone number system - This invention shows a method for operating a voice communications network that comprises dynamically associating a private number with at least one public number of a circuit-switched voice communication network, authenticating a user of a private number without reliance on a static reproducible data code, receiving an incoming call to the public number and routing the incoming call from a caller to the private number. The method also shows the generation of an outgoing call from the private number and passing the outgoing call through the public number while generating calling party information to a target which preserves the privacy of the caller, and altering an associating of the private number and at least one public number. The system therefore acts as a proxy with authentication by means of dynamic code security. The caller and the user of the private number share seamless round-trip telephone communications while preserving the anonymity of the user of the private number. The system functionality is advantageously presented as a restricted option space defined by a “skin”, which provides a consistent and purposeful set of functionality useful for a predetermined population of users.02-25-2016
