Blood pump bearings with separated contact surfaces

Rotary hydrodynamic blood pumps have been used to treat over a thousand patients. The Jarvik 2000 has supported a patient for seven years and uses blood immersed bearings washed by high flow to avoid excessive thrombus formation. This permits the pump to be very simple and small. Nonetheless, the present Jarvik 2000 bearings and all other mechanical blood immersed bearings of the prior art have a supporting structure that predisposes to thrombus adjacent to the bearings. The present invention provides a bearing structure that eliminates this predilection site for thrombus formation, and may provide indefinite thrombus free operation. The rotor of the preferred embodiment includes a tapered hub fabricated of wear resistant material supported by three posts at each end of the rotor, upon which the rotor rotates. Blood washes the unobstructed spaces between the posts to prevent the accumulation of a torus of thrombus that could enlarge excessively.

MOSFET device with in-situ doped, raised source and drain structures

InactiveUS6858903B2Lack of selectivityReduces deposition rateSolid-state devicesSemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingPhysicsMOSFET
A process for manufacturing an FET device. A semiconductor substrate is covered with a gate dielectric layer and with a conductive gate electrode formed over the gate dielectric. Blanket layers of silicon oxide may be added. An optional collar of silicon nitride may be formed over the silicon oxide layer around the gate electrode. Two precleaning steps are performed. Chemical oxide removal gases are then deposited, covering the device with an adsorbed reactant film. The gate dielectric (aside from the gate electrode) is removed, as the adsorbed reactant film reacts with the gate dielectric layer to form a rounded corner of silicon oxide at the base of the gate electrode. One or two in-situ doped silicon layers are deposited over the source / drain regions to form single or laminated epitaxial raised source / drain regions over the substrate protruding beyond the surface of the gate dielectric.
