Title: Transistors mosfet comportant une grille avec germanosiliciure de nickel, et leurs procedes de formation
Inventor: PATON ERIC N
IPC: H01L29/786
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: Selon l'invention, une grille de transistor MOFSET ou une région de source ou de drain d'un transistor MOFSET comprend du germanium de silicium ou du germanium de silicium polycristallin. La siliciuration avec du nickel est réalisée pour la formation d'un germanosiliciure de nickel (62, 64) qui comprend, de préférence, la phase monosiliciure du siliciure de nickel. L'inclusion de germanium dans le siliciure permet d'avoir une plus grande plage de température dans laquelle la phase monosiliciure peut être formée, tout en conservant sensiblement la résistance de couche supérieure présentée par le monosiliciure de nickel. En conséquence, le germanosiliciure de nickel peut supporter, pendant un traitement consécutif, des températures plus élevées que celles supportées par le monosiliciure de nickel, tout en présentant cependant approximativement la même résistance de couche et les mêmes autres propriétés bénéfiques que le monosiliciure de nickel.

Abstract: A subject for the invention is to provide a process
for polyester resin production in which the rate of
solid-phase polycondensation is high. 
     The invention is a process for producing a
polyester resin which comprises subjecting a
dicarboxylic acid component containing terephthalic
acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof as the main
component to polycondensation with a diol component
containing ethylene glycol as the main component through
esterification or transesterification to thereby
produce a melt polymerization polymer and subjecting
the melt polymerization polymer to solid-phase
polycondensation,  characterized in that :
   (1) a melt polymerization polymer in which the
amount of comonomer units other than terephthalic acid
units and ethylene glycol units is 5.5 or less and which
has an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.08 dL/g to 0.50
dL/g and an apparent crystallite size smaller than 9
nm is obtained and   (2) the melt polymerization polymer is subjected
to solid-phase polycondensation at a temperature which
is higher by at least 140°C than the glass transition
temperature of the melt polymerization polymer and is 
not higher than the melting point of the polymer to
thereby obtain a polyester resin having an apparent
crystallite size smaller than 9 nm.

node, with an available resource information based on its link segment and an available upstream/downstream label set said
node acquired from available upstream/downstream label set provided by the upstream node. If said bi-directional label establish
request is transmitted to the last node, and received available upstream/downstream label set is not empty, the last node may
select available upstream label and downstream label from received available upstream/downstream label set, then from the last
node of bi-directional LSP, a bi-directional LSP establish response in conjunction with upstream and downstream label selected
by said downstream node should be transmitted to next node one by one in forward direction until the first node.
Aforementioned scheme can realize the bi-directional LSP establish after a signaling turned back, thereby reduces setup time.
