Title: Method for forming silicon/germanium containing drain/source regions in transistors with reduced silcon/germanium loss
Inventor: GEHRING ANDREAS
IPC: H01L21/336
Filed: 2008-01-31
Abstract: By providing a protection layer on a silicon/germanium material of high germanium concentration, a corresponding loss of strained semiconductor material may be significantly reduced or even completely avoided. The protection layer may be formed prior to critical cleaning processes and may be maintained until the formation of metal suicide regions. Hence, high performance gain of P-type transistors may be accomplished without requiring massive overfill during the selective epitaxial growth process.

Abstract: 716,237. Reservoir pens. BIRO PENS, Ltd. April 23, 1951 [April 27, 1950], No. 10409/50. Class 146(3) In a ball-point pen the ink reservoir is provided; between the outlet 4 communicating with the ball 1 and the air inlet 11 of capillary size, with a number of enlarged bellies 5 each communicating with the next by a passage 6 of capillary size, wherein each belly is rounded at its ends to eliminate corners in which air may be trapped or an ink residue deposited. Where the bellies 5 are contiguous, the passages 6 merely constitute constrictions between the bellies. The outlet 4 and passages 6 are about 2.5 mm. diameter, and the maximum internal diameter of each belly 5 is between 2.5 and 5 mm. The enlarged bellies and passages need not be in axial alignment. The air inlet 11 has a capillary bore and a volume sufficiently large enough to prevent ink running put under the combined effects of gravity and the expansion of the contents of the reservoir due to temperature and pressure changes: this volume, which can be calculated from a formula given in the Specification, should not be less than 10 per cent of the volume of the reservoir for a rise of temperature of 30 ‹C. If the passages 4, 6 are not circular in cross-section, then they conform to the dimensions set out in claim 1 of Specification 629,226.

Abstract: 1,254,943. Riveting. HUCK MFG. CO. 26 Feb., 1969 [27 Feb., 1968], No. 10415/69. Heading B3U. A tool for swaging a nut to a bolt comprises a barrel member 12 which is longitudinally movable relative to a plurality of separate crimping jaws 52, 54 to cause the latter to move radially inwards. Hydraulic pressure is supplied through an inlet port 30 and channel 33 to move a piston 14 and the connected barrel member 12 to the left which causes the jaws 52, 54 to be moved inwards due to the co-operating tapered surfaces 50, 60 of the jaws and barrel member. The fluid on the opposite side of the piston 14 is exhausted through a return tube 34. Each of the four jaws is positioned within a recess (46-9) (Fig. 3, not shown), in the member 12 and is prevented from moving longitudinally by an annular projection 63 on a rod 18 positioned within a recess 62 in the jaw. Projections 71 on the end 70 of the rod 18 are impressed into the nut during the swaging operation. The inward movement of the jaws is limited by engagement with each other. The jaws are.returned to their initial position by a split spring 65. The rod 18 is eccentric to the cylindrical portion 23 of the piston 14 to increase the accessibility of the tool to the work.

Abstract: 1449444 Washing coke oven gas SIMONCARVES Ltd 18 March 1975 [19 March 1974] 11249/75 Heading C5E A process for regenerating the wash oil of the naphthalene and/or benzole wash of coke oven gas comprises (i) stripping the volatile components from the wash oil with steam and (ii) passing the steam/volatiles mixture through at least two exchange columns each charged with a different reflux medium before condensing the head product. In a preferred embodiment a column A provides a stripping and three reflux stages. Steam passing through nozzles 5 strips naphthalene and benzole from heated wash oil from 1 in a bubble column 4, pure oil emerging at 34. Oil in the stripped steam/volatiles mixture is exchanged for naphthalene in exchange column 7 and products are passed to a second exchange column 8 charged with water wherein cooling to 100 C. occurs. Liquid (water and toluene/xylene/naphthalene mixture) is fed to phase separator 10. The product then passes to exchange column 11 charged with benzole wherein water toluene and xylene are exchanged for benzole. The head product consists of benzole and water which are separated by phase separator 14 into benzole which is used as pure product 15 and for reflux, and water. Phase separator 10 produces: a toluene/xylene/ naphthalene fraction passed for reflux for exchange column 7 through line 21 and to a secondary column B via line 22; and water. Water from phase separators 10 and 14 is collected in a tank 17 to be used in reflux column 8. In a secondary column B toluene/xylene/ naphthalene mixture is stripped by steam from pipe 24, naphthalene collecting in a sump 25 and toluene and xylene mixed with steam passing into a concentration column charged with toluene/xylene mixture as reflux. The head product separates at 30 into water which is passed to tank 17 through pipe 31 and toluene/ xylene mixture part of which is used as reflux via pipe 32.
