20110076192 | STERILIZATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method of sterilizing an article by sequentially exposing the article to hydrogen peroxide and ozone is disclosed. The article is exposed under vacuum first to an evaporated aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and subsequently to an ozone containing gas. The exposure is carried out without reducing the water vapor content of the sterilization atmosphere, the water vapor content being derived from the aqueous solvent of the hydrogen peroxide solution and from the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The complete sterilization process is carried out while the chamber remains sealed and without removal of any component of the sterilization atmosphere. For this purpose, the chamber is initially evacuated to a first vacuum pressure sufficient to cause evaporation of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide at the temperature of the chamber atmosphere. The chamber is then sealed for the remainder of the sterilization process and during all sterilant injection cycles. Keeping the chamber sealed and maintaining the hydrogen peroxide and its decomposition products in the chamber for the subsequent ozone sterilization step results in a synergistic increase in the sterilization efficiency and allows for the use of much lower sterilant amounts and sterilization cycle times than would be expected from using hydrogen peroxide and ozone in combination. | 03-31-2011 |
20130236355 | STERILIZATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - Disclosed is a method of sterilizing an article by sequentially exposing the article under vacuum first to a gaseous conditioning agent for forming radicals and then to a sterilant. The preferred conditioning agent is hydrogen peroxide and the preferred sterilant is ozone. The chamber is initially evacuated to a first vacuum pressure and then sealed for the remainder of the sterilization process and during all sterilant injection cycles, without removal of any component of the sterilization atmosphere, which means without any measures to reduce the water vapor content. Keeping the chamber sealed and maintaining the conditioning agent and the radicals generated thereby in the chamber for the sterilization with sterilant results in a synergistic increase in the sterilization efficiency and allows for the use of much lower sterilant amounts and sterilization cycle times than would be expected from using the conditioning agent and the sterilant in combination. | 09-12-2013 |

20110147811 | TWO-DIMENSIONAL CONDENSATION FOR UNIAXIALLY STRAINED SEMICONDUCTOR FINS - Techniques are disclosed for enabling multi-sided condensation of semiconductor fins. The techniques can be employed, for instance, in fabricating fin-based transistors. In one example case, a strain layer is provided on a bulk substrate. The strain layer is associated with a critical thickness that is dependent on a component of the strain layer, and the strain layer has a thickness lower than or equal to the critical thickness. A fin is formed in the substrate and strain layer, such that the fin includes a substrate portion and a strain layer portion. The fin is oxidized to condense the strain layer portion of the fin, so that a concentration of the component in the strain layer changes from a pre-condensation concentration to a higher post-condensation concentration, thereby causing the critical thickness to be exceeded. | 06-23-2011 |
20110147812 | POLISH TO REMOVE TOPOGRAPHY IN SACRIFICIAL GATE LAYER PRIOR TO GATE PATTERNING - Techniques are disclosed for fabricating FinFET transistors (e.g., double-gate, trigate, etc). A sacrificial gate material (such as polysilicon or other suitable material) is deposited on fin structure, and polished to remove topography in the sacrificial gate material layer prior to gate patterning. A flat, topography-free surface (e.g., flatness of 50 nm or better, depending on size of minimum feature being formed) enables subsequent gate patterning and sacrificial gate material opening (via polishing) in a FinFET process flow. Use of the techniques described herein may manifest in structural ways. For instance, a top gate surface is relatively flat (e.g., flatness of 5 to 50 nm, depending on minimum gate height or other minimum feature size) as the gate travels over the fin. Also, a top down inspection of gate lines will generally show no or minimal line edge deviation or perturbation as the line runs over a fin. | 06-23-2011 |

The epitaxial layer may be included in a channel region of a transistor. The nanowire, fin, or pillar may be removed to provide greater access to the epitaxial layer. Doing so may allow for a “all-around gate” structure where the gate surrounds the top, bottom, and sidewalls of the epitaxial layer. Other embodiments are described herein. | 06-26-2014 |
20140175509 | Lattice Mismatched Hetero-Epitaxial Film - An embodiment concerns forming an EPI film on a substrate where the EPI film has a different lattice constant from the substrate. The EPI film and substrate may include different materials to collectively form a hetero-epitaxial device having, for example, a Si and/or SiGe substrate and a III-V or IV film. The EPI film may be one of multiple EPI layers or films and the films may include different materials from one another and may directly contact one another. Further, the multiple EPI layers may be doped differently from another in terms of doping concentration and/or doping polarity. One embodiment includes creating a horizontally oriented hetero-epitaxial structure. Another embodiment includes a vertically oriented hetero-epitaxial structure. The hetero-epitaxial structures may include, for example, a bipolar junction transistor, heterojunction bipolar transistor, thyristor, and tunneling field effect transistor among others. Other embodiments are described herein. | 06-26-2014 |
20140175512 | Defect Transferred and Lattice Mismatched Epitaxial Film - An embodiment uses a very thin layer nanostructure (e.g., a Si or SiGe fin) as a template to grow a crystalline, non-lattice matched, epitaxial (EPI) layer. In one embodiment the volume ratio between the nanostructure and EPI layer is such that the EPI layer is thicker than the nanostructure. In some embodiments a very thin bridge layer is included between the nanostructure and EPI. An embodiment includes a CMOS device where EPI layers covering fins (or that once covered fins) are oppositely polarized from one another. An embodiment includes a CMOS device where an EPI layer covering a fin (or that once covered a fin) is oppositely polarized from a bridge layer covering a fin (or that once covered a fin). Thus, various embodiments are disclosed from transferring defects from an EPI layer to a nanostructure (that is left present or removed). Other embodiments are described herein. | 06-26-2014 |
