| 20100032731 | SCHOTTKY JUNCTION-FIELD-EFFECT-TRANSISTOR (JFET) STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF FORMING JFET STRUCTURES - In accordance with an aspect of the invention, A Schottky junction field effect transistor (JFET) is created using cobalt silicide, or other Schottky material, to form the gate contact of the JFET. The structural concepts can also be applied to a standard JFET that uses N− type or P− type dopants to form the gate of the JFET. In addition, the structures allow for an improved JFET linkup with buried linkup contacts allowing improved noise and reliability performance for both conventional diffusion (N− and P− channel) JFET structures and for Schottky JFET structures. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the gate poly, as found in a standard CMOS or BiCMOS process flow, is used to perform the linkup between the source and the junction gate and/or between the drain and the junction gate of a junction filed effect transistor (JFET). Use of a bias on the gate linkup of the JFET allows an additional tuning knob for the JFET that can be optimized to trade off breakdown characteristics with reduced on resistance. In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, a patterned buried layer is used to form the back gate control for a junction field effect transistor (JFET). The structure allows a layout or buried layer pattern change to adjust the pinch-off voltage of the JFET structure. Vertical and lateral diffusion of the buried layer is used to adjust the JFET operating parameters with a simple change in the buried layer patterns. In addition, the structures allow for increased breakdown voltage by leveraging charge sharing concepts and improving channel confinement for power JFET structures. These concepts can also be applied to both N− channel and P− channel diffusion JFETs and to Schottky JFET structures. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20090044608 | Method And Apparatus For Measuring Particle Characteristics through Mass Detection - Method for measuring a target particle property. A suspended microchannel resonator is calibrated to determine the relationship between a detected mass and a resonance frequency shift of the resonator. The target particle is suspended in a fluid and introduced into the resonator, and the resonator frequency shift due to the particle is measured. Target particle mass is calculated from the resonator frequency shift, the target particle density, and the fluid density. A target particle property such as size or volume is determined from the calculated target particle mass. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20090269154 | SHEET-STACK CORING - A method of forming a batch of uniformly shaped glass sheet objects is disclosed. A stack of glass sheets is placed in a frame and submerged in a coolant. A hole is drilled through the stack. The cores of the hole and any debris from the drilling process are swept away in the coolant and pumped through a filter. A pin is inserted into the hole and attached to the base. A head on the pin, or a washer, fixes the stack of glass to the base at the hole. An outer profile is then cut in the glass stack around the hole while the formed objects are held to a base of the frame by the pin. Again, any debris is swept away in the coolant. The uniformly shaped objects are removed from the frame and separated. The glass sheet objects are preferably usable as a substrate for a magnetic or magneto-optical (MO) data/information storage retrieval medium. | 10-29-2009 |
