View page
US Patent:
6341697, Jan 29, 2002
Filed:
Oct 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/699967
Inventors:
Jan D. Miller - Salt Lake City UT
Xuming Wang - Salt Lake City UT
Minhua Li - Salt Lake City UT
Assignee:
University of Utah Research Foundation - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
B03D 101
US Classification:
209166, 252 61
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for separating phosphate minerals from a mineral mixture, particularly from high-dolomite containing phosphate ores. The method involves conditioning the mineral mixture by contacting in an aqueous in environment with a collector in an amount sufficient for promoting flotation of phosphate minerals. The collector is a hydroxamate compound of the formula; wherein R is generally hydrophobic and chosen such that the collector has solubility or dispersion properties it can be distributed in the mineral mixture, typically an alkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms. M is a cation, typically hydrogen, an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal. Preferably, the collector also comprises an alcohol of the formula, wherein RĂ¢ is generally hydrophobic and chosen such that the collector has solubility or dispersion properties so that it can be distributed in the mineral mixture, typically an alkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms.

US Patent:
7517509, Apr 14, 2009
Filed:
Mar 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/094326
Inventors:
J. D. Miller - Salt Lake City UT, US
Xuming Wang - Salt Lake City UT, US
Minhua Li - Salt Lake City UT, US
Assignee:
University of Utah Research Foundation - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
C01D 11/00
US Classification:
4232062, 23302 T
Abstract:
The present invention is a trona concentrate and a process for floating gangue material from trona ore that comprises forming an emulsion, conditioning the trona ore at a high solids content in a saturated trona suspension, and then floating and removing the gangue material. The process for separating trona from gangue materials in trona ore can include emulsifying an oil in an aqueous solution to form an oil-in-water emulsion. A saturated trona suspension having a high solids content can also be formed having trona of a desired particle size. The undissolved trona in the saturated suspension can be conditioned by mixing the saturated suspension and the oil-in-water emulsion to form a conditioning solid suspension of trona and gangue material. A gas can be injected through the conditioning solid suspension to float the gangue material. Thus, the floated gangue material can be readily separated from the trona to form a purified trona concentrate without requirements of additional heat or other expensive processing steps.

US Patent:
7635637, Dec 22, 2009
Filed:
Jul 25, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/189163
Inventors:
Qi Wang - West Jordan UT, US
Minhua Li - Sandy UT, US
Jeffrey H. Rice - South Jordan UT, US
Assignee:
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation - South Portland ME
International Classification:
H01L 21/30
H01L 21/46
US Classification:
438458, 438517, 257E21568
Abstract:
Processes used to transfer semiconductor structures from an initial substrate to a base substrate include bonding the initial substrate with a silicon dioxide layer to a doped silicon structure weakened sufficiently by hydrogen implantation for cleaving. After cleaving, a doped silicon layer remains, burying the silicon dioxide layer between the doped silicon layer and the initial substrate. Semiconductor structures are formed within/on an epitaxial layer disposed on the doped silicon layer forming an intermediate semiconductor structure. A process handle is temporarily bonded to the semiconductor structures for support. The initial substrate is thinned and removed by a mechanical thinning process followed by chemical etching using the buried silicon dioxide layer as an etch stop. The silicon dioxide layer is chemically removed from the doped silicon layer. A base substrate is formed on the doped silicon layer.

Filed:
Dec 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/332326
Inventors:
Qi Wang - Sandy UT, US
Joelle Sharp - Herriman UT, US
Minhua Li - Sandy UT, US
Hui Chen - South Jordan UT, US
Assignee:
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation - So. Portland ME
International Classification:
H01L 21/30
H01L 21/46
H01L 21/20
H01L 21/36
H01L 21/311
US Classification:
438700, 438694, 438455, 438478, 257E21088, 257E21567, 257E21214, 257E21599
Abstract:
A first and a second substrate are bonded together to thereby form a unitary hybrid substrate. Predefined portions of the first substrate are removed to form openings in the first substrate through which surface regions of the second substrate are exposed. A selective epitaxial growth process that is selective with respect to the crystalline orientations of the first and second substrates is carried out to thereby form epitaxial silicon from the exposed surfaces of the second substrate but not from exposed surfaces of the first substrate. The epitaxial silicon formed from the exposed surfaces of the second substrate has the same crystalline orientation as the second substrate.

Assignee:
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation - So. Portland ME
International Classification:
H01L 21/30
US Classification:
438458, 438212, 438455, 438517
Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device on a heavily doped P-type (110) semiconductor layer over a metal substrate includes providing a first support substrate and forming a P-type heavily doped (110) silicon layer overlying the first support substrate. At least a top layer of the first support substrate is removable by a selective etching process with respect to the P-type heavily doped (110) silicon layer. A vertical semiconductor device structure is formed in and over the (110) silicon layer. The vertical device structure includes a top metal layer and is characterized by a current conduction in a direction. The method includes bonding a second support substrate to the top metal layer and removing the first support substrate using a mechanical grinding and a selective etching process to expose a surface of the P-type heavily doped (110) silicon layer and to allow a metal layer to be formed on the surface.
