Abstract: A method for transitioning the state of the phase change material by annealing is provided to prevent a peeling due to a tensile stress by annealing an amorphous phase change material after a deposition to transit the phase change material to a crystalline state. A method for transitioning the state of the phase change material by annealing includes the steps of: providing a previously processed wafer; depositing the phase change material on the previously processed wafer at an amorphous state(100); and annealing a phase change material so as to transit the phase change material from the amorphous state to a crystalline state(102). The step of annealing the phase change material includes an in-situ annealing of the phase change material layer.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device which is adapted so that peeling of a material layer deposited over a phase change material can be prevented, wherein the peeling is caused by such processes that a phase change material is deposited at a low temperature; in a subsequent processing step, the deposited phase change material is heated beyond a crystallization temperature, which causes a transition from an amorphous state to a crystalline state reducing the volume of the phase change material up to about 10%; and the volume reduction causes the peeling of a material layer deposited over a phase change material. SOLUTION: The semiconductor device has a preprocessed wafer 110, and an annealed phase change material layer 118 which is in contact with the preprocessed wafer 110. The semiconductor device has a first material layer 114 which contacts the annealed phase change material layer 118. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Abstract: Methods of depositing a tantalum nitride (TaN) diffusion barrier region on low-k materials. The methods include forming a protective layer (104) on the low-k material substrate (102) by performing plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) from tantalum-based precursor and a nitrogen plasma in a chamber. The protective layer (104) has a nitrogen content greater than its tantalum content. A substantially stoichiometric tantalum-nitride layer is then formed by performing PE-ALD from the tantalum-based precursor and a plasma including hydrogen and nitrogen. The invention also includes the tantalum-nitride diffusion barrier region (108) so formed. In one embodiment, the metal precursor includes tantalum penta-chloride (TaC1 5 ). The invention generates a sharp interface between low-k materials and liner materials.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, a system and a method for controlling a polymer through a nanopore using a piezoelectric material. SOLUTION: There are provided an apparatus, a system, and a method for using a piezoelectric material for controlling a polymer through a nanopore. A reservoir is formed filled with a conductive fluid. A nanopore is formed through a membrane. The membrane comprises an electroconductive layer, a piezoelectric layer, and an insulating layer. The piezoelectric layer is operative to control a size of the nanopore for clamping/releasing a polymer as well as to control the thickness of part of the membrane when a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric layer. Combinations of clamping/releasing the polymer and changing the thickness of part of the membrane can move a polymer through the nanopore at any electrically controlled speed and also stretch or break a polymer in the nanopore.
