    摘要: The present invention provides a monitoring method for monitoring a semiconductor wafer, in a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. The CMP process is used to polish a dielectric layer of the semiconductor. The monitoring method comprises: 1. exposing the dielectric layer of the semiconductor wafer to an input light beam of fixed wavelength at a predetermined angle to generate a reflected light beam within a predetermined time period after performing the CMP process, the intensity of the reflected light beam undergoing periodic changes in response to the gradual thinning of the dielectric layer during the CMP process, 2. monitoring the intensity of the reflected light beam at a starting period within the predetermined time period and obtaining a periodic change rule according to the periodic changes of the intensity of the reflected light beam, and 3. monitoring the intensity of the reflected light beam throughout the rest of the predetermined time period and generating an output signal to stop the CMP process if the change of the intensity of the reflected light beam is not in accordance with the periodic change rule.

    摘要: A method of removing a polysilicon buffer in a method of forming a field oxide and an active area is disclosed herein that comprises the step of applying an etching selectivity solution to the polysilicon buffer to substantially remove the polysilicon buffer without substantially affecting the field oxide, a pad oxide, and the substrate. An etching selectivity solution is defined herein is a solution that has an etching rate for one material that is higher than for another material. In this case, the etching selectivity solution has an etching rate for polysilicon material that is higher than its etching rate for field oxide material. Accordingly, when the etching selectivity solution is applied to the polysilicon buffer, it will substantially etch off the polysilicon buffer without substantially affecting the field oxide. In the preferred embodiment, the etching selectivity solution comprises a mixture of HF and HNO3, or HF, HNO3 and CH3COOH. The advantage of this method is that it reduces the likelihood of the formation of pits within the field oxide, pad oxide and the substrate. Consequently, the charge-to-breakdown voltage for the device is not degraded because of the absence of the pits. In addition, methods of forming a field oxide and an active area are disclosed herein that uses at least in part the disclosed method of removing a polysilicon buffer.

    摘要: An image capturing apparatus and a booting method thereof are provided. In the method, a power-on signal is received, and then memory card plug information is read to determine whether a memory card of the image capturing apparatus has been plugged out in a power-off period of the image capturing apparatus. If it is determined that the memory card has not been plugged out, a previously recorded free space and a previously recorded file index table of the memory card are directly read, so as to accordingly boot the image capturing apparatus. If it is determined that the memory card has been plugged out, the free space of the memory card is re-calculated and a file sorting procedure is executed to generate the file index table, so as to accordingly boot the image capturing apparatus.
