A method ( ) of fabricating an electronic device ( ) formed on a semiconductor wafer. The method forms a dielectric layer ( ) in a fixed position relative to the wafer, where the dielectric layer comprises an atomic concentration of each of silicon, carbon, and oxygen. After the forming step, the method exposes ( ) the electronic device to a plasma such that the atomic concentration of carbon in a portion of the dielectric layer is increased and the atomic concentration of oxygen in a portion of the dielectric layer is decreased. After the exposing step, the method forms a barrier layer ( ) adjacent at least a portion of the dielectric layer.

A method for serially polishing a plurality of semiconductor wafers, wherein a CMP apparatus having a first polishing pad and a second polishing pad is provided. A first slurry composition is disposed between the first polishing pad and a first wafer when the first wafer is in a first state, and a first polishing on the first wafer via the first polishing pad and first slurry composition is commenced at a first commencement time. A second slurry composition is disposed between the second polishing pad and a second wafer when the second wafer is in a second state, and a second polishing on the second wafer via the second polishing pad and second slurry is commenced at a second commencement time, wherein the second commencement time differs from the first commencement time by a first intermediate period. One or more of the first wafer and the second wafer is rinsed with a pre-rinse agent for at least a portion of the first intermediate period. The first polishing and second polishing are halted at substantially the same end time, therein placing the first wafer in the second state and the second wafer in a third state.

A system and method for ordering broadcast content using associated metadata. Metadata, which has been added to the broadcast transmission or otherwise transmitted is separated and transmitted to a personal communication device, preferably from the broadcast transmission receiver over a short-range radio frequency channel. The PCD uses the metadata to order the content from a content provider over a communications network and, if necessary, execute payment. The contact is then downloaded for storage and later use.

The present disclosure generally relates to highly pure plasmid compositions having low, or undetectable, levels of colanic acid and other contaminants made by a process that comprises purifying plasmid DNA by chromatography, treating the purified plasmid DNA with a polypeptide that digests colanic acid under conditions that digest the colonic acid, and separating the plasmid DNA from the digested colonic acid.
