20100289123 | METHOD FOR MAKING A SEMI-CONDUCTING SUBSTRATE LOCATED ON AN INSULATION LAYER - A method for making a silicon layer extending on an insulation layer, including the steps of forming a silicon-germanium layer on at least a portion of a silicon wafer; transforming portions of the silicon-germanium layer into porous silicon pads; growing a monocrystalline silicon layer on the silicon-germanium layer and on the porous silicon pads; removing the silicon-germanium layer; oxidizing the porous silicon pads; and depositing an insulation material on the silicon layer. | 11-18-2010 |
20100320567 | INTEGRATED CIRCUIT COMPRISING A CAPACITOR WITH METAL ELECTRODES AND PROCESS FOR FABRCATING SUCH A CAPACITOR - An integrated circuit (IC) includes at least one capacitor with metal electrodes. At least one of the electrodes ( | 12-23-2010 |
20120161292 | PROCESS FOR ASSEMBLING TWO WAFERS AND CORRESPONDING DEVICE - A process for assembling a first wafer and a second wafer each bevelled on their peripheries includes excavating the bevelled peripheral part of at least one first side of the first wafer to create a deposit bordering the region excavated in the material of the first wafer. The first side and a second side of the second wafer are then bonded together. | 06-28-2012 |
20120225326 | MODULE ELEMENT, IN PARTICULAR FOR A BIOFUEL CELL, AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS - A module of a biofuel cell includes three module elements each having a porous membrane. At least two of the porous membranes are electrically conducting and form the cathode and the anode of the biofuel cell. The third membrane, which is preferably positioned between the two electrically conducting membranes need not be conducting, but defines two emergent cavities within the module. A porous through-channel extends through a silicon support of the module so as to connect one of the emergent cavities to at least one external wall of the silicon support. | 09-06-2012 |
20130273440 | HOUSING, IN PARTICULAR FOR A BIOFUEL CELL - A housing includes a body with a first silicon element and a second porous silicon element, at least one first cavity provided in the porous silicon element, a first electrically conducting contact area electrically coupled to at least a portion of at least one internal wall of the at least one first cavity, and a second electrically conducting contact area electrically coupled to a different portion of the at least one internal wall of the second porous silicon element of the at least one first cavity, wherein the two contact areas are electrically isolated from each other. | 10-17-2013 |
20140284769 | METHOD OF FORMING A STRAINED SILICON LAYER - The present disclosure concerns a method involving: forming a strained silicon germanium layer by epitaxial growth over a silicon layer disposed on a substrate; implanting atoms to amorphize the silicon layer and a lower portion of the silicon germanium layer, without amorphizing a surface portion of the silicon germanium layer; and annealing, to at least partially relax the silicon germanium layer and to re-crystallize the lower portion of the silicon germanium layer and the silicon layer, so that the silicon layer becomes a strained silicon layer. | 09-25-2014 |
