Title: Annealing of a crystalline perovskite ferroelectric cell and cells exhibiting improved barrier properties
Inventor: AGGARWAL SANJEEV
IPC: G06Q50/30
Filed: 1998-06-08
Abstract: A method of fabricating a ferroelectric capacitor usable as a memory cell in a non-volatile integrated circuit memory integrated on a silicon substrate (22), preferably including an intermetallic barrier layer. The memory cell consists of a ferroelectric layer (50), for example of lead niobium zirconium titanate (PNZT) sandwiched between metal oxide electrodes (52 and 46), for example of lanthanum strontium cobalite (LSCO), which forms with a crystalline orientation and provides a growth template for the crystalline formation of the ferroelectric. The intermetallic layer (44) prevents diffusion of oxygen from the bottom LSCO electrode (46) down to the underlying silicon (40). At least the bottom electrode (46) is subjected to a rapid thermal anneal at an annealing temperature above its growth temperature. Thereby, the polarization and fatigue characteristics of the ferroelectric cell are improved. Also, a similar intermetallic layer may be placed above the ferroelectric cell. A  preferred composition of the intermetallic layer is a refractory silicide, especially a refractory disilicide.

Title: One-piece flashing
Inventor: GIVENS ROBERT D
IPC: E04D13/147
Filed: 1999-11-30
Abstract: This invention comprises a one-piece flashing formed with first and second panels joined together, watertight, at a first angle along a first line, or region, of intersection. The first angle may be a right angle or it may be the angle between a sloping roof and a vertical wall. The flashing further includes a third panel that makes a watertight junction with the first panel along a second line, or region. of intersection, where the first and third panels meet at a second angle. The third panel also makes a watertight junction with the second panel along a third line, or region, of intersection and at a third angle, and the three lines, or regions, of intersection meet at a common point. It is essential that the panels and all of the junctions between the panels along all of the lines, or regions, of intersection and at the common point be impervious to water. This can be accomplished by forming the flashing as a unitary structure, such as by stamping it or molding it, and, if necessary, forming permanent seals at any abutting edges created during the formation of the flashing.
