Abstract:

A semiconductor device and a method of making the device are provided. The method can include forming a gate conductor overlying a major surface of a monocrystalline semiconductor region and forming first spacers on exposed walls of the gate conductor. Using the gate conductor and the first spacers as a mask, at least extension regions are implanted in the semiconductor region and dummy spacers are formed extending outward from the first spacers. Using the dummy spacers as a mask, the semiconductor region is etched to form recesses having at least substantially straight walls extending downward from the major surface to a bottom surface, such that a substantial angle is defined between the bottom surface and the walls. Subsequently, the process is continued by epitaxially growing regions of stressed monocrystalline semiconductor material within the recesses. Then the dummy spacers are removed and the transistor can be completed by forming source/drain regions of the transistor that are at least partially disposed in the stressed semiconductor material regions.

International Classification:

A62B 23/02

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the field of firefighter facial masks. More specifically, the present invention relates to a firefighter respirator mask device that is preferably comprised of a body, a facial covering over an opening of an SCBA mask, a fastening mechanism and a filter. The body of the device preferably resembles an ovular shape, or any shape that sufficiently covers the hole left over the mouth of an SCBA mask when not attached to an oxygenated hose, normally present under hazardous conditions. The device is comprised of color-changing technology that allows the facial mask to turn colors in response to pathogenic exposure, indicating to the user that it is no longer sterile. In this manner, the device can be applied to any firefighter or industrial worker requiring the use of an SCBA without risk of possible pathogenic exposure when not attached to an oxygenated hose.
