20060111243 - Methods and apparatuses for fabricating thin film transistors: Methods and apparatuses for fabricating thin film transistors. An apparatus comprises a first chamber and a second chamber. A substrate comprising a metal gate formed thereon is brought into the first chamber to form a passivation layer on the metal gate. The substrate is then transported to the second chamber...

20060111244 - Methods for fabricating thin film transistors: A fabrication method of thin film transistor. A patterned gate is formed on an insulator substrate. A buffer layer is formed on the insulating substrate. The patterned gate is formed by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using a mixture of silane, argon, nitrogen to serve as reactants at a...

20060100107 - Superconducting carbon 12 atomic strings and methods of manufacture of cables containing parallel strings: A string of carbon 14 atoms forms a superconductor unaffected by temperature changes from absolute zero to the burning point of carbon. A number of carbon 14 atomic strings are connected in parallel and encased in a plastic which forms tubes around each string having a negatively charged inner surface...

20060100108 - Superconducting carbon 12 atomic strings and methods of manufacture of cables containing parallel strings: A string of super-dense carbon atoms forms a superconductor unaffected by temperature changes over a wide range. Using molecular beam epitaxy technology, a number of such carbon atomic strings are connected in parallel and encased in a plastic which forms nanotubes around each string having a negatively charged inner surface...

20060094603 - Thick superconductor films with improved performance: A method for producing a thick film includes disposing a precursor solution onto a substrate to form a precursor film. The precursor solution contains precursor components to a rare-earth/alkaline-earth-metal/transition-metal oxide including a salt of a rare earth element, a salt of an alkaline earth metal, and a salt of a...
