Filed:

Apr 10, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/082280

Inventors:

Mike Chen - New York NY, US

Assignee:

Morgan Stanley - New York NY

International Classification:

G06F 35/00

US Classification:

705 35

Abstract:

Computer-implemented methods for valuing a derivative based on the BMA rate: the methods may comprise generating a model of the BMA/LIBOR ratio as a function of the LIBOR index, a stochastic noise function, and a seasonality process. The methods may also comprise solving the model for at least one value of the LIBOR index, and estimating a value of the derivative given the solution of the model. The value of the derivative may then be stored.

Abstract:

The present invention is an expansion of the IFB device that provides a means to enable multiple devices to access a global computer network (such as the “Internet”) from a single network connection. The present invention comprises an input modem for communicating directly with a personal computer. This device can have a second input modem that communicates directly with a second device such as a facsimile machine. The invention has an output modem that communicates with the Internet or computing network. The present invention also contains a Central Processing Unit (“CPU”) to run various application software programs, a ROM that will store the software and a RAM that can store information sent or received over the computer network. The invention also contains software utility programs that will establish a dial-up connection with the computer network that will enable a personal computer to access the network.

Abstract:

A method for forming a capped shallow trench isolation (CaSTI) structure begin by etching a trench opening (210). The opening (210) is filled with an oxide or like trench fill material (216b) via a deposition and chemical mechanical polish (CMP) step. The plug (216b) is reactive ion etched (RIE) to recess a top of the plug (216b) into the trench opening (210) to form a recessed plug region (216c). A silicon nitride or oxynitride capping layer (218b) is then formed over the recessed plug region (216c) via another deposition and polishing step. The nitride cap layer (218b) protects the underlying region (216c) from erosion due to active area preparation, cleaning, and processing.
