Abstract:
A method of electroplating a metal layer on a semiconductor device includes a sequence of biasing operations that includes a first electroplating step at a first current density followed by a second immersion step at a second current density being less than the first current density, and subsequent electroplating steps of increasing current densities beginning with a third electroplating step having a third current density that is greater than the first current density. The second, low current density immersion step improves the quality of the plating process and produces a plated film that completely fills openings such as vias and trenches and avoids hollow vias and pull-back on the bottom corners of via and trench openings. The low current density second immersion step produces an electrochemical deposition process that provides low contact resistance and therefore reduces device failure.
Abstract:
A method for forming a metal layer having a predetermined thickness on an underlying material is disclosed. According to the method, the underlying material is electroplated to form the metal layer having a fraction of the predetermined thickness thereon. The step of electroplating is interrupted for a predetermined period of time. The step of electroplating is then resumed to form the metal layer having the predetermined thickness on the underlying material, thereby improving planarity of the metal layer.

A silicon-steel structure for motor comprises a silicon-steel plate made of magnetic material. The silicon-steel plate comprises a main body of rectangular shape when being expanded and a plurality of tooth portions on top and bottom sides of the main body. The tooth portions are integrally formed on top and bottom sides of the main body and have same pitch. Moreover, the tooth portions on top of the main body are complementary and staggered with the tooth portions on bottom of the main body. The tooth portions are bent vertically with respect to the main body and the main body is rolled to form a cylindrical shape to form a silicon-steel structure for motor.

Abstract:
A replaceable key module for a keyboard, comprising: a keycap holder, a springy member and a keycap. The keycap holder embraces an accommodation space, a first surface having an opening, and a second surface having a hole. The springy member is located on the second surface and within the accommodation space of the keycap holder. The keycap is movably connected to the springy member through the opening of the first surface of the keycap holder and capable of moving between a released position and a depressed position. The keycap is referred to as in a released position when not depressed and in a depressed position pushing the springy member to be deformed downwardly when depressed. By means of adjusting some factors such as hardness, length, material and pressing angle of the springy member, the user may obtain the key module with the specified pressure load as desired.
