Title: Methods and compositions for filter cake removal
Inventor: SOCCI DANIEL
IPC: C09K8/52
Filed: 2018-10-02
Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for degrading filter cake and filter cake removal, and compositions for removing filter cake from a subterranean borehole. The methods involve contacting the filter cake with a composition containing an unencapsulated peroxygen and a surfactant, and allowing the composition to remain in contact with the filter cake at a temperature above 165°F for a period of time sufficient to degrade the filter cake. The methods result in acidic conditions, thereby eliminating any need for follow up acid treatments. The composition is stable enough to effectively remove filter cake at temperatures above 165°F (preferably, up to 250°F or greater). Through filter cake removal resulting in improved permeability, the method provides for increased flow, production, and/or recovery of oil and gas hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation.

Title: Tin oxide mandrels in patterning
Inventor: YU JENGYI
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 2019-01-29
Abstract: Tin oxide films are used as mandrels in semiconductor device manufacturing. In one implementation the process starts by providing a substrate having a plurality of protruding tin oxide features (mandrels) residing on an exposed etch stop layer. Next, a conformal layer of spacer material is formed both on the horizontal surfaces and on the sidewalls of the mandrels. The spacer material is then removed from the horizontal surfaces exposing the tin oxide material of the mandrels, without fully removing the spacer material residing at the sidewalls of the mandrel (e.g., leaving at least 50%, such as at least 90% of initial height at the sidewall). Next, mandrels are selectively removed (e.g., using hydrogen-based etch chemistry), while leaving the spacer material that resided at the sidewalls of the mandrels. The resulting spacers can be used for patterning the etch stop layer and underlying layers.

Abstract: The disclosure provides DNA library preparation methods that do not require a purification between adapter ligation and PCR amplification. Adaptors are added to DNA fragments to form oligonucleotide extension products and the oligonucleotide extension products are amplified without stopping or interruption for a cleanup step. Excess materials, such as enzymes, adaptors, or co-factors, from the adaptor addition step do not interfere with the amplification step and the amplification step proceeds without regards to the presence of reagents from the ligation step. In preferred embodiments, the ligation and amplification step make use of a common priming sequence e.g., in the form of one of the adaptor oligos.
