20110052373 | HIGH-TURNING DIFFUSER STRUT WITH FLOW CROSS-OVER SLOTS - A turning strut for use in a diffuser of a turbine engine has a leading edge with first and second opposing surfaces depending therefrom that terminate at a trailing edge. Slots extend through the turning strut and reduce in volume from the first surface to the second surface. During turn down operation of the turbine engine, exhaust flow impacts the leading edge at a deviated swirl angle. This results in exhaust flow at the first surface being at a higher pressure than at the second surface, which causes exhaust flow to be induced through the slots. The reduction in slot volume causes exhaust flow through the slots to accelerate. This exhaust flow from the slots is combined with exhaust flow at the second surface. Thusly, momentum of exhaust flow at the second surface is increased to maintain the second laminar boundary layer at the second surface. | 03-03-2011 |

20080207004 | Method of Forming a Semiconductor Structure - A method of forming a semiconductor structure comprises forming a first layer of silicon and then forming a second, silicon germanium, layer adjacent the silicon layer. A thin third layer of silicon is then formed adjacent the second layer. A gate structure is then formed upon the third layer of silicon using convention Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor processes. Trenches are then formed into the second layer and the structure is then exposed to a thermal gaseous chemical etchant, for example heated hydrochloric acid. The etchant removes the silicon germanium, thereby forming a Silicon-On-Nothing structure. Thereafter, conventional CMOS processing techniques are applied to complete the structure as a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, including the formation of spacer walls from silicon nitride, the silicon nitride also filling a cavity formed beneath the third layer of silicon by removal of the silicon germanium. | 08-28-2008 |
20080224314 | Method and Apparatus for Forming a Noble Metal Layer, Notably on Inlaid Metal Features - A cap layer for a metal feature such as a copper interconnect on a semiconductor wafer is formed by immersion plating a more noble metal (e.g. Pd) onto the copper interconnect and breaking up, preferably by mechanical abrasion, loose nodules of the noble metal that form on the copper interconnect surface. The mechanical abrasion removes plated noble metal which is only loosely attached to the copper surface, and then continued exposure of the copper surface to immersion plating chemicals leads to plating at new sites on the surface until a continuous, well-bonded noble metal layer has formed. The method can be implemented conveniently by supplying immersion plating chemicals to the surface of a wafer undergoing CMP or undergoing scrubbing in a wafer-scrubber apparatus. | 09-18-2008 |
