| 20080294539 | PROGRAMMED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING AN INDEX - Construction of an index of assets comprises a computer having program code executing within a memory of the computer so as to define a universe of eligible companies using one or more filter criteria provided by a user. The companies in the eligible universe are ranked with regard to one or more parameters, each of which represents objective accounting-based data of the respective company. Respective rankings of each company are transformed into respective composite scores. A relative ranking among an index-component subset of the companies in the eligible universe is defined using the each index component's composite score in relation to the composite score of the other index components. In this way, a relative composite score results, which is used to weight the index components. The weighting results are output to the user. A method for such index construction is also disclosed. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20100203708 | AMORPHIZATION/TEMPLATED RECRYSTALLIZATION METHOD FOR HYBRID ORIENTATION SUBSTRATES - The present invention provides an improved amorphization/templated recrystallization (ATR) method for fabricating low-defect-density hybrid orientation substrates. ATR methods for hybrid orientation substrate fabrication generally start with a Si layer having a first orientation bonded to a second Si layer or substrate having a second orientation. Selected regions of the first Si layer are amorphized and then recrystallized into the orientation of the second Si layer by using the second Si layer as a template. The process flow of the present invention solves two major difficulties not disclosed by prior art ATR methods: the creation of “corner defects” at the edges of amorphized Si regions bounded by trenches, and undesired orientation changes during a high temperature post-recrystallization defect-removal annealing of non-ATR'd regions not bounded by trenches. In particular, this invention provides a process flow comprising the steps of (i) amorphization and low-temperature recrystallization performed in substrate regions free of trenches, (ii) formation of trench isolation regions that subsume the defective regions at the edge of the ATR'd regions, and (iii) a high-temperature defect-removal anneal performed with the trench isolation regions in place. | 08-12-2010 |
