A method of forming low stack height transistors having controllable linewidth in an integrated circuit without channeling is disclosed. A disposable hardmask of doped glass is utilized to define the gate and subsequently protect the gate (and the underlying substrate) during ion implantation which forms the source and drains. A variety of silicided and non-silicided) structures may be formed.

An adjustable compound optical microlens apparatus comprises first and second microlenses that are separated from one another along their optical axes. At least one of the microlenses is movable relative to the other. In a preferred embodiment, one microlens is stationary, the other movable. A MEMS controller electrically controls the position of the movable microlens relative to the stationary microlens, or the positions of at least two movable microlenses relative to one another. In accordance with one embodiment of our invention, an array of such microlens apparatuses is also contemplated, especially for applications such optical switches and routers. In accordance with another embodiment of our invention, the apparatus functions as an optical filter or dispersion compensator. Also described is method of compensating for variations in an optical parameter (e. g. , effective focal length) of such an apparatus in an array.

A method and apparatus is disclosed wherein nanostructures or microstructures are disposed on a surface of a body (such as a submersible vehicle) that is adapted to move through a fluid, such as water. The nanostructures or microstructures are disposed on the surface in a way such that the contact between the surface and the fluid is reduced and, correspondingly, the friction between the surface and the fluid is reduced. In an illustrative embodiment, the surface is a surface on a submarine or other submersible vehicle (such as a torpedo). Illustratively, electrowetting principles are used to cause the fluid to at least partially penetrate the nanostructures or microstructures on the surface of the body in order to selectively create greater friction in a desired location of the surface. Such penetration may be used, for example, to create drag that alters the direction or speed of travel of the body.

Apparatus and method for increasing the concentration of a chemical substance in a fluid comprise a micro-fluidic elongated channel formed in a substrate, with the channel being in fluid-flow communication with an ambient region along its elongated dimension. In general, the fluid includes first and second chemical substances having different vapor pressures. The apparatus includes an evaporation controller for increasing the evaporation rate of the fluid from the channel into the ambient region, thereby increasing the concentration of the higher vapor pressure (HVP) substance in the portion of the fluid remaining in the channel and increasing the concentration of the lower vapor pressure (LVP) substance in the portion of the fluid evaporated into the ambient region.

Device having first wick evaporator including first membrane and plurality of first thermally-conductive supports. First membrane has upper and lower surfaces. First membrane also has plurality of pores with upper pore ends at upper surface of first membrane and with lower pore ends at lower surface of first membrane. Each of first thermally-conductive supports has upper and lower support ends. Upper support ends of first thermally-conductive supports are in contact with first membrane. Each of first thermally-conductive supports has longitudinal axis extending between the upper and lower support ends, average cross-sectional area along axis, and membrane support cross-sectional area at upper support end, the membrane support cross-sectional area effectively being smaller than average cross-sectional area. First thermally-conductive supports are configured to conduct thermal energy from lower support ends of first thermally-conductive supports to first membrane. Process includes providing wick evaporator, providing liquid working fluid in contact with lower or upper surface of membrane, and causing liquid working fluid to be evaporated from liquid-vapor interface in membrane.
