Steven Wright - Fredericksburg VA

Assignee:

Bae Systems Information Electronic Systems Integration Inc.

International Classification:

H01L 2144

US Classification:

438613

Abstract:

Methods for manufacturing microchips are provided. A plurality of alternating metallic wiring-layers and non-metallic layers, terminating with a metallic wiring-layer, are formed on a wafer. A plurality of vias is formed for electrically interconnecting various metallic wiring-layers. A plurality of electrically conducting pads is formed adjacent various vias. A passivation layer is formed adjacent the terminal metallic wiring-layer and the plurality of conducting pads. A portion of the passivation layer is removed to expose the plurality of conducting pads. A layer is formed adjacent the passivation layer and the plurality of exposed conducting pads for protecting the microchip against electromagnetic radiation. A portion of the protective layer is removed to expose the plurality of conducting pads. Each conducting pad is electrically isolated from the protective layer.

International Classification:

B23K 3512

US Classification:

228246, 228214, 2281804, 228256

Abstract:

A method of forming a plurality of micro column interconnection structures on a semiconductor includes providing a semiconductor layer. A photoresist layer is formed on the semiconductor layer. A plurality of cavities are etched in the photoresist layer. The plurality of cavities extend through the photoresist layer to the semiconductor layer. Solder is deposited in the plurality of cavities, thereby forming a plurality of micro columns of solder.

US Classification:

463 31, 2732442, 273272, 273275, 273299

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a system and a method for interactive entertainment involving a game. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for playing a game involving interactive generation of a visual image and a lingual definition of a precursor constructed phrase and image portion by a plurality of participant-users, and a method and system for sharing the same via a world wide interactive computer system. The computer system enables different participant-users, or teams of participant-users, to post generated visual and lingual definitions for the same precursor constructed phrase and image portions enabling comparison entertainment of the same and supporting selection of a preferred construction for awarding a prize.

International Classification:

H01L 21266

US Classification:

437 44

Abstract:

A process to form poly sidegate LDD structures on buried channel MOSFETs is described. A polysilicon spacer is formed on the gate after source/drain processing. The spacer is later shorted to the main gate by implantation of neutral impurities. The process is particularly suited for SOI technology.
