Title: Method of forming nickel silicide using a one-step rapid thermal anneal process and backend processing
Inventor: PATON ERIC N
IPC: H01L21/28
Filed: 2001-12-03
Abstract: A self-aligned silicide process that can accommodate a low thermal budget and form silicide regions (64, 66) of small dimensions in a controlled reaction. In a first temperature treatment, nickel metal or nickel alloy (52) is reacted with a silicon material (46) to form at least one high resistance nickel silicide region (56, 58). Unreacted nickel (54) is removed. A dielectric layer (60) is then deposited over the high resistance nickel silicide regions (56, 58). In a second temperature treatment, the at least one high resistance nickel silicide regions (56, 58) and dielectric (60) are reacted at a prescribed temperature to form at least one low resistance silicideregion (64, 66) and process the dielectri c layer (60). Bridging between regions is avoided by the two-step process as silicide growth is controlled, and unreacted nickel (54) between silicide region (56, 58) is removed after the first temperature treatment. The processing of the high resistance nickel silicide regions (56, 58) and the dielectric layer (60) are conveniently combined into a single temperature treatment. In other embodiments, the second temperature treatment is performed prior to, and separate from, the depositing and processing of the dielectric layer (60).

Title: Antibiotic method for parts of refrigerator using antibiotic substance
Inventor: KIM HYUN KYO
IPC: B29C48/21
Filed: 2004-03-30
Abstract: A conventional part of a refrigerator containing an antibiotic substance has problems in that discoloration occurs with time, a surface of the part of the refrigerator is corroded during a manufacturing process, or the whitening effect is degraded, and production costs increase. The present invention relates to an antibiotic method for processing a part of a refrigerator using a silver-based antibiotic substance. The antibiotic method comprises the steps of forming a preform of the part to have a thickness relatively smaller than that of a finished product of the part through an extrusion process; mixing 0.05 to 0.1 % by weight of the silver-based antibiotic substance in the form of pellets with a resin based on the total weight of the resin; and forming an antibiotic layer on a surface of the preform of the part using the resin with the antibiotic substance mixed therewith. The antibiotic layer may be formed by laminating a film made of the resin with the antibiotic substance mixed therewith, or formed on the surface of the part of the refrigerator through multi-extrusion. Further, the silver-based antibiotic substance may comprise 60 to 80% by weight of an oxide of Ag ions having diameters of several dozen to hundred nanometers, 10 to 20% by weight of zirconium phosphate, and 10 to 20% by weight of a zinc oxide. According to the present invention, there are advantages in that the production costs of the refrigerator are reduced, and the antibiotic and whitening effects are improved.
