    Abstract: A dual damascene process is provided. A substrate having a conductive area is provided. An etching stop layer, a dielectric layer and a patterned hard mask layer are sequentially formed on the substrate. A first opening is formed in the dielectric layer exposed by the patterned hard mask layer. A first material layer having a high etching selectivity with respect to the dielectric layer is deposited to fill the first opening. A portion of the dielectric layer and the filling material layer are removed to form a trench and a second opening. The filling material layer exposed by the second opening is removed to expose part of the etching stop layer. A portion of the etching stop layer is removed to form a third opening. A conductive layer is formed in the trench and the third opening.

    Abstract: General speaking, a resistor of high resistivity has a negative-temperature-coefficient and a resistor of low resistivity has a positive-temperature-coefficient. Utilizing this characteristic, an appropriate proportion between the above resistors can be found to make a combined resistor with an approximate zero-temperature-coefficient. The combined resistor can be used to design a circuit for generating voltage and current with approximate zero-temperature-coefficients.

    Abstract: A low-k dielectric film is deposited on the wafer. A metal layer is then deposited over the low-k dielectric film. A resist pattern is formed over the metal layer. The resist pattern is then transferred to the underlying metal layer to form a metal pattern. The resist pattern is stripped off. A through hole is plasma etched into the low-k dielectric film by using the metal pattern as a hard mask. The plasma etching causes residues to deposit within the through hole. A first wet treatment is then performed to soften the residues. A plasma dry treatment is carried out to crack the residues. A second wet treatment is performed to completely remove the residues.

    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention involves a method of programming a memory cell. The memory cell is in a first state having a maximum initial threshold voltage. The memory cell is to be programmed to one of a plurality of states having a higher target threshold voltage relative to the maximum initial threshold voltage. There is a cue voltage between the maximum initial threshold voltage and the target threshold voltage. The memory cell has a drain region. The method includes applying a drain voltage to the cell by a programming pulse having a first width, determining whether the cell has reached the cue threshold voltage, and if the cell has reached the cue threshold voltage, changing the programming pulse width from the first pulse width to a second pulse width. The second pulse width is smaller than the first pulse width.
