Filed:

Dec 20, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/961019

Inventors:

Lynn S. Welsh - Lucas TX, US
Amy E. Anderson - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

H01L 21/331

US Classification:

438341, 438234, 438236, 438 14, 257E2153, 257E21529

Abstract:

Integrated circuits using buried layers under epitaxial layers present a challenge in aligning patterns for surface components to the buried layers, because the epitaxial material over the buried layer diminishes the visibility of and shifts the apparent position of the buried layer. A method of measuring the lateral offset, known as the epi pattern shift, between a buried layer and a pattern for a surface component using planar processing technology and commonly used semiconductor fabrication metrology tools is disclosed. The disclosed method may be used on a pilot wafer to provide optimization data for a production line running production wafers, or may be used on production wafers directly. An integrated circuit fabricated using the instant invention is also disclosed.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are techniques for a Lead Generation Tool that create a passive entity, such as a QR code or NFC tag associated with a promotion, and that generate a prepopulated message on a user's communications device when it is scanned, read, or otherwise input to activate the passive entity. As used herein, a “passive entity” is defined to include images, codes, tags, or any other unique identifiers that may be encoded with uniquely identifying information and codes. The term “activating” is defined to include either an action by a user that scans, reads, or otherwise inputs the unique information contained in the passive entity into a device operated by the user or the mere presence of a user near a passive entity while equipped with a passive entity receiver, which will input the unique information contained in the passive entity into a device operated by the user. After activating the passive entity, the user is only required to tap SEND to respond to the promotion.
