Embodiments include methods and devices which utilize dummy gate profiling to provide a profile of a dummy gate which has narrowing in the dummy gate. The narrowing causes a neck in the dummy gate. When the dummy gate is replaced in a gate replacement process, the necking provides control of an etch-back process. Space is provided between the replacement gate and a subsequently formed self-aligned contact.

Transistor gate structure and process

A method of providing protection against pneumococcal infection in a subject is disclosed. The method includes steps of administering to the subject a composition that includes combination of three recombinant pneumococcal neuraminidases: NanA, NanB, and NanC ofstrains CGSP14, wherein administration of the recombinant pneumococcal neuraminidases elicits an immune response to, and treats the subject. In one embodiment, the method further includes a step of adding adjuvants to enhance the immune response. The method also includes a step of using passive antibodies, wherein said passive antibodies are anti-neuraminidase antibodies generated from neuraminidases-immunized humanized animals: NanA, NanB, and NanC. Meanwhile, this invention also provides a method for the molecular diagnosis of pneumococcal infection.
