摘要:
A novel method for enhancing interface adhesion between adjacent dielectric layers, particularly between an etch stop layer and an overlying dielectric layer having a low dielectric constant (k) in the formation of metal interconnects during the fabrication of integrated circuits on semiconductor wafer substrates. The method may include providing a substrate, providing an etch stop layer on the substrate, providing an oxygen-rich dielectric pre-layer on the etch stop layer and providing a major dielectric layer on the oxygen-rich dielectric pre-layer. Metal interconnects are then formed in the dielectric layers. The oxygen-rich dielectric pre-layer between the etch stop layer and the upper dielectric layer prevents or minimizes peeling and cracking of the layers induced by stresses that are caused by chemical mechanical planarization of metal layers and/or chip packaging.

The present invention relates to an instrument and method of aligning a collimator. The instrument includes a frame base, a clamp, a first axis stage, a second axis stage, and a rack. A ferrule grasping a fiber therein is inserted in a glass tube, and the glass tube is secured to the frame base by the clamp. A pinion is fixedly mounted on one end of a GRIN lens, which is inserted in the glass tube, and engaged with the rack. The first axis stage moves the GRIN lens along the cylindrical axis of the glass tube, and the second axis stage rotates the GRIN lens around the cylindrical axis of the glass tube. When a light beam emitted from the collimator reaches the maximum intensity, the instrument of the invention accomplishes the alignment of the collimator.

A method for fabricating an increased capacitance metal-insulator-metal capacitor using an integrated copper damascene process is described. A contact node is provided overlying a semiconductor substrate. An intermetal dielectric layer is deposited overlying the contact node. A damascene opening is formed through the intermetal dielectric layer to the contact node. A first metal layer is formed on the bottom and sidewalls of the damascene opening and overlying the intermetal dielectric layer. A first barrier metal layer is is deposited overlying the first metal layer. A dielectric layer is dpeosited overlying the first barrier metal layer. A second barrier metal layer is deposited overlying the dielectric layer. A second metal layer is formed overlying the second barrier metal layer and completely filling the damascene opening. The layers are polished back to leave the first metal layer, the dielectric layer, the first and second barrier metal layers, and the second metal layer only within the damascene opening wherein the first metal layer forms a bottom electrode, the dielectric layer forms a capacitor dielectric, and the second metal layer forms a top electrode to complete fabrication of a crown-type capacitor in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device.

An electronic device includes a case, a plate, and a detachable member. The case has a first receiving area, a second receiving area, and a movable latch. The first receiving area is adjacent to the second receiving area. The movable latch moves back and forth between the first receiving area and the second receiving area. The detachable member is assembled to the first receiving area. The plate is assembled to the second receiving area. When the movable latch is located in the first receiving area, the movable latch locks the detachable member to the case. When the movable latch moves to the second receiving area, the movable latch is locked to the plate.

摘要:
A method for forming indicia on a semiconductor device package, such as laser marked or ink stamp marked indicia. The method can be performed on an apparatus, such as a production apparatus, which forms the indicia as well as performs semiconductor device trim and form operations. An embodiment of the present teachings ensures that the indicia marking process at a laser marking station does not occur simultaneously with the device trim and form operations at a trim and form station. Trim and form operations, particularly using a ram press, can impose vibrations on the laser marking station. Ensuring that laser marking does not occur simultaneously with trim and form operations removes the negative effects of vibration on the laser marking station.

A method of transforming a serial scrambler to a parallel scrambler, a parallel scrambler and a double-edge-triggered register with XOR operation are provided. The method transforms a serial scrambler to a parallel scrambler according to a characteristic polynomial: P ( x ) = ∑ q = 0 N c q x q or b ( i ) = ∑ q = 1 N c q b ( i - q ) . The method first determines a transformation formula: b ( kN + i ) = ∑ q = 1 N c q b ( ( k - R ) N + i + R ( N - q ) ) according to the parameters of the characteristic polynomial. The parallel bits Bj=[bMj, bMj+1, . . . , bMj+M−2, bMj+M−1] are arranged in order. The transformation number R=2t (the initial number of t is 0) is set. The parallel bits are replaced by the transformation formula. When (k−R)N+i+R(N−q) is larger than Mj−1 in the transformation formula, 1 is added to t in the transformation formula R=2t and the transformation formula is re-counted. Finally, the XOR gates are connected to the registers according to a computed result from the transformation formula.
