Title: Ion implantation to reduce transient enhanced diffusion
Inventor: GRAOUI HOUDA
IPC: H01L21/265
Filed: 2005-12-19
Abstract: A shallow-junction is provided in a semiconductor substrate by performing a pre-amorphisation implant, Ge for example, at a first energy, performing an implant of a defect trapping element, C for example, at a second energy, and performing an implant of a dopant, B for example. The implant energy of the defect trapping element implant is lower than the pre-amorphisation implant energy. Preferably, the second implant energy is in the range of 10%-40% of the first implant energy. The pre-amorphisation implantation and the dopant implantation may be performed at a tilt angle in the range of 20{-60{. The ratio of the defect trapping element implant energy to the pre-amorphisation implant energy ensures that a carbon layer is formed within the amorphous layer which prevents transient enhanced diffusion of boron dopants.

Title: Preventing activation of a connection while a device is connected to a board
Inventor: NEUMANN MATTHEW D
IPC: H05K7/14
Filed: 2007-09-12
Abstract: An electronic device 24, such as a processor, is connected to a circuit board 22 via a connector position 34 on the circuit board and a connector position 36 on the electronic device. A sequencer 30 is provided to prevent activation of the connection 34 when the device 24 is connected to the circuit board 22. The sequencer 30 comprises an impeding portion 50 which interacts with the fasteners 26 that hold the device onto the circuit board. A bias means 32 urges the impeding portion to a position in which an access portion 56 of the impeding portion is misaligned with an access passage 40 of the electronic device. To connect the electronic device 24 to the circuit board 22, the impeding portion 50 is moved by handle 64, aligning the access portion 56 and the access passage 40 to allow an activation tool (not shown) to be inserted into activation mechanism 35 of connector 34. In this position the sequencer prevents the fasteners from connecting the device to the board. The impeding portion is then allowed to return to its previous position and the fasteners are no longer inhibited from fastening the device to the circuit board. The sequencer ensures that the connection is activated before the device is fastened to the board.

Title: Intensity distribution of incident light flux
Inventor: ISHII FUSAO
IPC: H04N5/74
Filed: 2008-10-23
Abstract: Additional control flexibilities to generate more gray scales for an image display system is achieved by controlling the intensity distribution of the light projection from a light source to a deflecting mirror to further coordinate with the control of the intermediate states of the deflecting mirror. The control light source intensity distribution can provide incident light with wide varieties of intensity distributions including non-uniform, symmetrical and non-symmetrical, different distributions of polarizations, various cross sectional shapes of the incident lights and other combinations of all of the above variations. More stable and better control of gray scale control is also achieved by optimizing the intensity distributions of the incident light to produce the best visual effects of the image display.
