Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor structure (10) having MOS and bipolar devices includes providing an isolation structure having MOS and bipolar active areas including doped wells (28,30) . A collector region (56) is formed in the bipolar active area well (28B) and a first semiconductor layer (62) is then formed over the MOS and bipolar active areas. An active base region (66) is formed in the bipolar active area well (28B) and a dielectric layer (68,70) is formed on the first semiconductor layer (62) over a portion of the bipolar active area. A window (72) is formed through the dielectric layer (68,70) and extends to the first semiconductor layer (62). A second semiconductor layer (86) is then formed over the MOS and bipolar active areas. A gate electrode (88) is formed on the MOS active area and emitter (92) and collector (94) electrodes are formed on the bipolar active area. The gate (88), emitter (92) and collector (94) electrodes are formed from both the first (62) and second (86) semiconductor layers and the emitter electrode (92) extends into the window (72). After doping the emitter (92) and collector (94) electrodes, self-aligned source and drain regions (108) are diffused into the MOS active area and an emitter region (110) is diffused into the bipolar active area from the emitter electrode (92) through the window (72).

Abstract: A visually aging scroll bar is associated with a window or viewport on a computer display as part of a computer system, and contains a slider to indicate relative positioning in the window of a document, such as a data file, image file, audio file, text file, or spreadsheet. The current position of the scroll bar slider is monitored by the computer system. After a first predetermined sampling period has elapsed, a first region matching the current position of the scroll bar slider is created. The visual appearance of the region is determined by a predetermined region heating rate. For example, a newly created region starts at "cold", which can be indicated by a violet-indigo color. After a second sampling period has elapsed, the computer system again checks the current position of the scroll bar slider. If the current position still matches the first region, the visual appearance of the first region symbolically "warms up" as indicated by the region heating rate. This incrementally changing visual appearance (for example, from violet to indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and finally a deep red) continues for as long as the current slider position matches the first region, up until a maximum region symbolic "temperature" is reached.

Abstract: A conventional start-up head for a vertical continuous casting plant consists of a start-up brick (3) which closes a continuous casting mould at the bottom during start-up and receives from the shaping top section (1) a metal melt directed vertically onto the said start-up brick. In order to increase start-up reliability and the stability of the ingot and to significantly reduce the formation of a curve and the occurrence of bottom discard, it is proposed that the start-up brick (3) should consist of a block which corresponds approximately to the format of the continuous casting mould and into which is machined an essentially trough-shaped depression (5), the depression being delimited by an encircling rim (4), and that at least one raised portion (6) should be arranged in the depression (5) symmetrically to the centre lines (7, 8) of the start-up brick, the side walls of the encircling rim (4) and of the raised portion (6) being bevelled towards the depression (5).
