Manufacturing Method for Phase Change RAM with Electrode Layer Process

A method for manufacturing a phase change memory device comprises forming an electrode layer. Electrodes are made in the electrode layer using conductor fill techniques that are also used inter-layer conductors for metallization layers, in order to improve process scaling with shrinking critical dimensions for metallization layers. The electrode layer is made by forming a multi-layer dielectric layer on a substrate, etching the multi-layer dielectric layer to form vias for electrode members contacting circuitry below, forming insulating spacers on the vias, etching through a top layer in the multi-layer dielectric layer to form trenches between the insulating spacers for electrode members contacting circuitry above, filling the vias and trenches with a conductive material using the metallization process. Thin film bridges of memory material are formed over the electrode layer.

NAND flash depletion cell structure

NAND architecture Flash memory strings, memory arrays, and memory devices are described that utilize depletion mode floating gate memory cells. Depletion mode floating gate memory cells allow for increased cell current through lower channel rdS resistance and decreased “narrow width” effect, allowing for increased scaling of NAND memory cell strings. In addition, the required voltages for reading and programming operations are reduced, allowing the use of more efficient, lower voltage charge pumps and a reduction circuit element feature sizes and layouts. Cell inhibit of unselected cells is also increased, reducing the likelihood of cell disturb in the memory array. Operation speed is improved by increasing read current of the selected NAND string and by increasing the ability to overcome the RC time constants of circuit lines and capacitances through lowered voltage swings and increased current supplies.

Product quality enhancement in mammalian cell culture processes for protein production

The present invention describes methods and processes for the production of proteins, particularly glycoproteins, by animal cell or mammalian cell culture, illustratively, but not limited to, fed-batch cell cultures. The methods comprise feeding the cells with D-galactose, preferably with feed medium containing D-galactose, preferably daily, to sustain a sialylation effective level of D-galactose in the culture for its duration, thus increasing sialylation of the produced proteins. The methods can also comprise at least two temperature shifts performed during the culturing period, in which the temperature is lower at the end of the culturing period than at the time of initial cell culture. The cell culture processes of the invention involving two or more temperature shifts sustain a high cell viability, and can allow for an extended protein production phase. The methods can also comprise the delayed addition of polyanionic compound at a time after innoculation. Supplementation of the cultures with D-galactose, preferably in a feed medium, to sustain galactose at sialylation effective levels in the cultures until the end of a culture run reverses a decline in sialylation that accompanies culture scale up, and is advantageous for large scale culturing processes.

Method for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device circuit device

When a natural oxide film is left at the interface between a metal silicide layer and a silicon nitride film, in various heating steps (steps involving heating of a semiconductor substrate, such as various insulation film and conductive film deposition steps) after deposition of the silicon nitride film, the metal silicide layer partially abnormally grows due to oxygen of the natural oxide film occurring on the metal silicide layer surface. A substantially non-bias (including low bias) plasma treatment is performed in a gas atmosphere containing an inert gas as a main component on the top surface of a metal silicide film of nickel silicide or the like over source / drain of a field-effect transistor forming an integrated circuit. Then, a silicon nitride film serving as an etching stop film of a contact process is deposited. As a result, without causing undesirable cutting of the metal silicide film, the natural oxide film over the top surface of the metal silicide film can be removed.

Partial Page Fail Bit Detection in Flash Memory Devices

A flash memory device, and a method of operating the same, is disclosed. The array of the flash memory device is arranged in pages of memory cells, each page having memory cells associated into groups of memory cells within the page for purposes of fail bit detection in program verification. For example, these groups may correspond to sectors within the page. In a programming operation, the verify process determines whether each group of memory cells within the page has fewer than a selected ignore bit limit for the sector. If not, additional programming is required for the insufficiently programmed cells in the page. By applying a fail bit detection threshold for each of multiple groups within the page, the efficiency of error correction coding in the flash memory is improved. A similar verify and fail bit detection approach may be used in erase and soft programming operations.

Hierarchical component based object recognition

The present invention provides a method for the recognition of objects in an image, where the objects may consist of an arbitrary number of parts that are allowed to move with respect to each other. In the offline phase the invention automatically learns the relative movements of the single object parts from a sequence of example images and builds a hierarchical model that incorporates a description of the single object parts, the relations between the parts, and an efficient search strategy. This is done by analyzing the pose variations (e.g., variations in position, orientation, and scale) of the single object parts in the example images. The poses can be obtained by an arbitrary similarity measure for object recognition, e.g., normalized cross correlation, Hausdorff distance, generalized Hough transform, the modification of the generalized Hough transform, or the similarity measure. In the online phase the invention uses the hierarchical model to efficiently find the entire object in the search image. During the online phase only valid instances of the object are found, i.e., the object parts are not searched for in the entire image but only in a restricted portion of parameter space that is defined by the relations between the object parts within the hierarchical model, what facilitates an efficient search and makes a subsequent validation step unnecessary.
