摘要:
A method for forming a mechanically robust dielectric film comprises depositing a dielectric film on a substrate and then inducing a compressive strain in a top surface of the dielectric film to form a compressive strained surface. The compressive strain may be induced using an ion implantation process that bombards the dielectric film with ions that become implanted in the top surface of the dielectric film. The damage caused during ion implantation, as well as the implanted ions themselves, causes an expansion of the top surface which induces a biaxial compressive residual stress, thereby forming a compressive strained surface. The compressive strain reduces the amount of surface flaws present on the top surface, thereby improving the toughness of the dielectric film. In addition, the ion implantation process may modify the plasticity of the top surface and reduce the likelihood of fracture mechanisms based on dislocation pileup for crack initiation.

A method of storing compressed data first compresses source data, generating compressed data, and computes the total compression length in each row of the compressed data. The number of rows of compressed data that the biggest memory block can accommodate is computed according to the total compression length of each row. The system receives an application for the required memory blocks for those rows of data. Finally, the system allocated memory blocks are received for storing the compressed data. Therefore, the system and method realize dynamical row storage of compressed data, which make good use of fragmented memory in the system.

A test structure for testing a multidirectional current leakage path. A first doped region of a first conductivity is in the first well of the first conductivity in a substrate, in which the first doped region has a dopant concentration higher than the first well has. A first contact is on the first doped region and contacts the first doped region. The first contact has first and second portions respectively parallel to the first and second directions. A plurality of second doped regions of a second conductivity are in the first well and isolated from the first doped region. In a third direction, the second regions are adjacent to each another and isolate the first portion from the second portion. A plurality of second contacts are on the second doped regions and each one is corresponding to each the second doped region. With a relative shift between the first contact and the second doped region, the partial overlap is used in the test of a multidirectional leakage path.
