1. Field of the Invention
This present invention is generally directed to the field of integrated circuits and semiconductor processing, and, more particularly, to a method of using high-k dielectric materials to reduce soft errors in static random access memory (SRAM) memory cells, and a device comprising same.
2. Description of the Related Art
There is a constant drive within the semiconductor industry to increase the operating speed of integrated circuit devices, e.g., microprocessors, memory devices, and the like. This drive is fueled by consumer demands for computers and electronic devices that operate at increasingly greater speeds. In general, modern integrated circuit devices and applications mandate high-performance memory structures to aide in processing and storing the vast volume of data processed by such devices. Thus, as the integration density and processing power of various integrated circuit devices has increased, e.g., application-specific circuits, microprocessors, etc., efforts have been made to increase the density and operating speed of such memory structures.
Relatively speaking, an SRAM memory cell provides a very fast read access speed. Accordingly, SRAM cells are widely used in integrated circuits. An SRAM cell is considered to be a bi-stable circuit because it has two stable or self-maintaining operating states that correspond to two different output voltages, or logic states. Typically, the different voltages correspond to a binary stored “1” (logically high) or “0” (logically low). Without external stimuli, an SRAM memory cell will operate continuously in a single one of its two operating states. It has internal feedback to maintain a stable voltage differential between two nodes of the cell. The polarity of this voltage difference is sensed by external circuitry to determine the operating state of the SRAM cell. The two possible output voltages produced by an SRAM cell are typically determined by the upper and lower circuit supply voltages.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of an illustrative SRAM cell 10 formed above a semiconducting substrate 12, such as silicon. The SRAM cell 10 is generally comprised of two transistors 16, each of which is comprised of a gate insulation layer 17, a gate electrode 19, a protective cap layer 21, and a plurality of source/drain regions 15. The transistors 16 are formed between isolation structures 14 formed in the substrate 12. Typically, a plurality of local interconnects 13 are formed in a BPSG (boron phosphosilicate glass) layer 11. The BPSG layer 11 may be formed by a variety of deposition techniques, e.g., chemical vapor deposition (“CVD”), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (“PECVD”), etc. The thickness of the BPSG layer 11 may vary depending upon the device under construction. Typically, the BPSG layer 11 may have a thickness that ranges from approximately 500-1000 nm (5000-10000 Å). More importantly, in traditional SRAM cells, the local interconnects 13 are positioned within the insulating BPSG layer 11. Typically, the BPSG layer 11 will be deposited and a plurality of openings 25 will be formed therein by performing known photolithography and etching techniques. Thereafter, the local interconnects 13 will be formed in the openings 25 in the BPSG layer 11.
Alpha particles are naturally occurring ionizing radiation which can penetrate into the silicon substrate of the SRAM cell 10 depicted in FIG. 1 and generate electron-hole pairs. One source of alpha particles is the decay of radioactive impurities such as uranium or thorium, known to be present in trace levels in common semiconductor packaging materials. The alpha particles, from whatever source, can generate sufficient charge adjacent an SRAM memory cell node to upset the data state of the SRAM memory cell, i.e., it can cause the SRAM cell 10 to flip from a “1” to a “0,” or vice versa. Such events are termed “soft errors” in the industry. Soft error rates must be controlled to very low levels for reliable operation of semiconductor devices.
Typically, the boron element used in the BPSG layer 11 is B10, which has a relatively large capture cross-section. As a result, the alpha particles striking the BPSG layer 11 (comprised of B10) tend to split and enter the silicon with the tendency to thereby cause soft errors. To counteract this problem, efforts have been made to replace the BPSG layer 11 with phosphosilicate glass (PSG), i.e., to eliminate the use of B10, or to replace the B10 material with B11, a version of boron that has a smaller capture cross-section. Despite these efforts, soft errors in SRAM memory cells continue to be a problem that must be addressed. This is particularly important for integrated circuit devices intended for use in space applications or satellite communications.
The present invention is directed to a device and various methods that may solve, or at least reduce, some or all of the aforementioned problems.

Lesson: Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer
Introduction:
Breast augmentation with fat transfer is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances the size and shape of a woman's breasts using her own body fat. This procedure is also known as autologous fat transplantation or autologous fat grafting. In this lesson, we will learn about the process of breast augmentation with fat transfer, its benefits, risks, and costs.
Section 1: Understanding Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer
Topic 1: How does breast augmentation with fat transfer work?
Breast augmentation with fat transfer involves removing fat from one part of the body, usually the abdomen or thighs, and then injecting it into the breasts to increase their size and shape. The fat is first processed to remove any blood or fluid, and then injected into the breasts using a specialized needle.
Topic 2: What are the benefits of breast augmentation with fat transfer?
The main benefit of breast augmentation with fat transfer is that it uses a person's own body fat, which reduces the risk of rejection and other complications associated with implants. Additionally, the procedure is less invasive than traditional breast augmentation, as it does not require an incision in the breast tissue. Finally, the results of breast augmentation with fat transfer are natural-looking and long-lasting.
Section 2: Risks and Complications of Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer
Topic 1: What are the potential risks and complications of breast augmentation with fat transfer?
While breast augmentation with fat transfer is generally safe, there are some potential risks and complications associated with the procedure. These include bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in sensation or nipple function. Additionally, some patients may experience dissatisfaction with the results of the procedure, or require additional surgeries to achieve their desired outcome.
Topic 2: How can I minimize my risk of complications?
To minimize your risk of complications, it is essential to choose a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation with fat transfer. Additionally, follow all pre- and post-operative instructions carefully, and be sure to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments. Finally, be sure to discuss any concerns or questions you may have with your surgeon before undergoing the procedure.
Section 3: Costs and Financing of Breast Augmentation with Fat Transfer
Topic 1: How much does breast augmentation with fat transfer cost?
The cost of breast augmentation with fat transfer varies depending on several factors, including the geographic location of the procedure, the experience and reputation of the surgeon, and the amount of fat required to achieve the desired result.

Lesson: Introduction to Mushrooms
## Section 1: What are Mushrooms?
Mushrooms are a type of fungus that grow on soil or decaying organic matter. They are a primitive stage of plant development and are classified as a separate kingdom from plants. Mushrooms are a popular food item and are used in many dishes around the world. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of mushrooms, their nutritional value, and how they grow.
## Section 2: Types of Mushrooms
There are three main types of mushrooms: edible, medicinal, and poisonous. Edible mushrooms are those that are safe to eat and are often used in cooking. Some common edible mushrooms include button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, milky mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
Medicinal mushrooms are those that have health benefits and are used in traditional medicine. Examples of medicinal mushrooms include reishi, shiitake, and maitake mushrooms.
Poisonous mushrooms are those that can cause harm if ingested. It is important to always be cautious when picking wild mushrooms and to only eat those that are known to be safe.
## Section 3: Nutritional Value of Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a great source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are also low in calories and fat. One cup of cooked mushrooms contains about 3 grams of protein, 3 grams of dietary fiber, and 26% of the daily recommended value of vitamin D. Mushrooms also contain potassium, copper, and antioxidants.
## Section 4: How Mushrooms Grow
Mushrooms grow from spores that are released into the air by other mushrooms. These spores land on soil or decaying organic matter and begin to grow. As the spores grow, they form a network of thread-like structures called hyphae. The hyphae eventually form a structure called a mycelium, which is the vegetative part of the mushroom. When conditions are right, the mycelium produces a fruiting body, which is what we typically think of as a mushroom.
## Section 5: Practical Examples
One practical example of mushrooms is their use in composting. Mushrooms are often used in composting because they help to break down organic matter and recycle nutrients. Another practical example is the use of medicinal mushrooms in traditional medicine. Reishi, shiitake, and maitake mushrooms have been used for centuries to treat various ailments.
## Section 6: Critical Thinking Questions
1. Why are mushrooms considered a primitive stage of plant development?
2. How do edible mushrooms differ from poisonous mushrooms?
3. What are some practical applications of mushrooms?
## Conclusion
In conclusion, mushrooms are a fascinating and versatile plant. They have many uses in cooking, traditional medicine, and even in composting. By learning about the different types of mushrooms, their nutritional value, and how they grow, we can appreciate these fungi even more.

Lesson: Understanding XAML Styles

Introduction:
XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) is a markup language used to define the user interface of an application. It is used to create controls, layouts, and styles for an application. In this lesson, we will learn about XAML styles and how they can be used to create visually appealing user interfaces.

Section 1: What are XAML Styles?
XAML styles are used to define the appearance of a control or element. They allow developers to apply styles to multiple elements at once, making it easier to maintain consistency throughout the application. Styles can be applied to elements such as buttons, text boxes, and labels.

Section 2: Creating a Style in XAML
To create a style in XAML, you need to define a Style element. Within the Style element, you can define properties such as background color, font size, and margin. Here is an example of a style for a button:

```
<Style x:Key="MyButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
    <Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="Blue"/>
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16"/>
    <Setter Property="Padding" Value="10"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
    <Setter Property="BorderWidth" Value="1"/>
    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="10"/>
    <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Arial"/>
</Style>
```
In this example, we define a style for a button with a blue background, 16-point font size, 10-pixel padding, transparent border brush, 1-pixel border width, 10-pixel margin, and the Arial font family.

Section 3: Applying a Style to an Element
Once a style has been defined, it can be applied to an element by setting the Style property of the element to the key of the style. For example, if we want to apply the `MyButtonStyle` to a button, we would set its `Style` property to `"MyButtonStyle"`.

```
<Button Style="MyButtonStyle">Click Me</Button>
```

Section 4: Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about XAML styles and how they can be used to create visually appealing user interfaces. We covered what styles are, how to create a style in XAML, and how to apply a style to an element. By understanding XAML styles, we can create more efficient and consistent code that results in better user experiences.

Nonlinear Zel'dovich Effect: Parametric Amplification from Medium Rotation.
The interaction of light with rotating media has attracted recent interest for both fundamental and applied studies including rotational Doppler shift measurements. It is also possible to obtain amplification through the scattering of light with orbital angular momentum from a rotating and absorbing cylinder, as proposed by Zel'dovich more than forty years ago. This amplification mechanism has never been observed experimentally yet has connections to other fields such as Penrose superradiance in rotating black holes. Here we propose a nonlinear optics system whereby incident light carrying orbital angular momentum drives parametric interaction in a rotating medium. The crystal rotation is shown to take the phase-mismatched parametric interaction with negligible energy exchange at zero rotation to amplification for sufficiently large rotation rates. The amplification is shown to result from breaking of anti-PT symmetry induced by the medium rotation.

Lesson: Nonlinear Optics - Parametric Amplification from Medium Rotation

Introduction:
Nonlinear optics is a field of study that deals with the interaction of light with matter and other forms of energy. In this lesson, we will learn about a specific type of nonlinear optics called parametric amplification, which occurs when light interacts with a rotating medium.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to understand the concept of parametric amplification and its applications in various fields such as physics, astronomy, and engineering.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Topic 1: What is Parametric Amplification?
Parametric amplification is a process in which a weak signal is amplified by interacting with a medium that is subjected to a strong oscillating electric field. This process is known as parametric amplification because it relies on the parametric down-conversion of the incident light.

Topic 2: How does Parametric Amplification work?
In parametric amplification, the incident light is first converted into an electromagnetic wave with a lower frequency and then back into the original frequency, but with a higher amplitude. This process is achieved by using a nonlinear medium, such as a crystal, which can store and release energy in the form of an electromagnetic wave.

Topic 3: Why is Parametric Amplification important?
Parametric amplification is important because it allows us to amplify weak signals without any loss of information. This is particularly useful in fields such as astronomy, where weak signals from distant stars and galaxies need to be amplified to be detected by telescopes.

Section 2: Practical Examples

Topic 1: Applications of Parametric Amplification
Parametric amplification has many applications in various fields. For example, it is used in radio astronomy to detect weak signals from distant galaxies, in optical communication systems to improve signal-to-noise ratio, and in quantum computing to create entangled states of light.

Topic 2: Real-World Scenarios
One real-world scenario where parametric amplification can be applied is in the field of medical imaging. For instance, it can be used to amplify weak signals from biological tissues, allowing for better detection and diagnosis of diseases.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Topic 1: Critical Thinking
Parametric amplification is a powerful tool that has many applications in various fields. However, it also has some limitations, such as the need for a nonlinear medium and the possibility of noise generation. Therefore, it is essential to carefully consider the pros and cons of using parametric amplification in different scenarios.

Topic 2: Problem Solving
Suppose you are working on a project that requires the amplification of a weak signal. How would you go about designing a system that uses parametric amplification? What factors would you need to consider, and what trade-offs would you need to make?

Glossary:
- Nonlinear optics: The study of the interaction of light with matter and other forms of energy, particularly focusing on nonlinear phenomena.
- Parametric amplification: A process in which a weak signal is amplified by interacting with a medium that is subjected to a strong oscillating electric field.
- Nonlinear medium: A material that exhibits nonlinear behavior when subjected to an electromagnetic field.
- Crystal: A solid substance with a regular arrangement of atoms or molecules.

Conclusion:

Healthcare data management can improve patient outcomes by identifying areas where healthcare providers need to focus their efforts. For example, if a hospital notices that patients with a particular condition are more likely to develop complications, they can take steps to prevent those complications from occurring. By analyzing data, healthcare providers can also identify patients who are at risk for certain conditions and provide them with preventive care.
Topic 3: How does healthcare data management reduce costs?
Healthcare data management can reduce costs by identifying areas where healthcare providers can be more efficient. For example, if a hospital notices that certain procedures are being performed more frequently than necessary, they can take steps to reduce the number of unnecessary procedures. By analyzing data, healthcare providers can also identify patients who are at risk for certain conditions and provide them with preventive care, which can reduce the cost of treating those conditions later on.
Section 2: Technologies Used in Healthcare Data Management
Topic 1: What technologies are used in healthcare data management?
There are several technologies that are used in healthcare data management, including electronic health records (EHRs), health information exchanges (HIEs), and data analytics tools. EHRs are digital records of patient health information that can be accessed by authorized healthcare providers. HIEs are networks that allow healthcare providers to share patient information securely. Data analytics tools are used to analyze healthcare data and identify patterns and trends.
Topic 2: How do EHRs improve healthcare data management?
EHRs improve healthcare data management by providing healthcare providers with a complete picture of a patient's health. By having access to all of a patient's health information, healthcare providers can make more informed decisions about patient care. EHRs also improve efficiency by reducing the need for paper-based records and eliminating the need for duplicate data entry.
Topic 3: How do HIEs improve healthcare data management?
HIEs improve healthcare data management by allowing healthcare providers to share patient information securely. By sharing patient information, healthcare providers can provide better care coordination and avoid duplicative tests and procedures. HIEs also improve efficiency by reducing the need for healthcare providers to request patient information separately from each other.
Section 3: Applying Healthcare Data Management in Various Scenarios
Topic 1: How can healthcare data management be applied in a hospital setting?
In a hospital setting, healthcare data management can be used to identify areas where healthcare providers need to focus their efforts. For example, if a hospital notices that patients with a particular condition are more likely to develop complications, they can take steps to prevent those complications from occurring. By analyzing data, healthcare providers can also identify patients who are at risk for certain conditions and provide them with preventive care.
Topic 2: How can healthcare data management be applied in a clinic setting?
In a clinic setting, healthcare data management can be used to identify areas where healthcare providers need to focus their efforts.

Bolsonaro’s son Flavio tweeted that his father’s wound was “graver than we expected” and that he arrived at the hospital “nearly dead.” But he said that his father later appeared to be in stable condition. Hospital officials said the candidate suffered a serious wound to his intestine and was undergoing surgery, according to news reports.

The stabbing marks the second violent episode at an electoral rally during the presidential campaign. In May, several bullets struck busses in a caravan of supporters of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Nobody was hurt.

The election campaign has been the most contentious in recent history. Last week, Brazil’s electoral court barred Lula from running due to corruption charges. The former president had been campaigning from behind bars.

“This reveals something that we need to be attuned to. The intolerance that has existed in Brazilian society is unacceptable,” said Brazilian President Michel Temer.

Bolsonaro is running on a tough-on-crime platform and has advocated for looser restrictions on gun ownership in Brazil.

With Lula out of the picture, Bolsonaro looks set to win the first round of the election on Oct. 7, but appears unlikely to capture enough votes to avoid a runoff. A right-wing former soldier, Bolsonaro now tops the polls with about 22 percent of those surveyed. Yet the candidate also carries the highest unfavorable ratings in the race.

Democracy is falling out of favor with many Brazilians who are fed up with corrupt politicians and rising violence. Some see in Bolsonaro a way to implement the order and discipline of Brazil’s military dictatorship, which ended in 1985 after two decades.

Battlefield 1 bande annonce

Les fans trépignent d'impatience sur Twitter. Car si le jeu ne sortira qu'en octobre 2016, les producteurs ont déjà annoncé 4 interfaces de jeu, dont 2 villes picardes : Amiens et Saint-Quentin. Une première dans l'histoire du jeu.Dans le descriptif d'Amiens, les concepteurs annoncent "une bataille dans des ruelles en ruine, près d'un tribunal, autour de ponts et de voies ferrées". Quant à la carte de Saint-Quentin, elle permettra d'accéder au "charmant petit village de Travecy"...Tandis que la première guerre mondiale fait rage, il sera proposé aux joueurs d'incarner des soldats britanniques, allemands ou français via un contenu additionnel. A cheval, en bateau ou en avion... Et vu le côté ultra-réaliste du jeu video, il est fort à parier qu'on pourra reconnaître certains quartiers des deux villes. Dans la bande-annonce en tout cas, nous n'avons pas encore reconnu les rues picardes... Et vous ?
