Abstract:
A method for forming a cross-linking photoresist layer is provided. The method includes steps of providing a photoresist layer; activating the photoresist layer with a light provided by a light source; and putting the photoresist layer in a vapor of a cross-linking agent to form the cross-linking photoresist layer.
Abstract:
A method of planarizing a photoresist coating for a semiconductor device having a plurality of trenches including providing a first layer of photoresist over the plurality of trenches wherein the layer has a thickness and the photoresist is a positive-type photoresist, exposing the first layer to light having a predetermined energy, developing the exposed first layer wherein a portion of the first layer remains within the plurality of trenches, and providing a second layer of photoresist over the developed first layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for making the bottom electrode of a buried capacitor, which is characterized by protecting the non-bottom electrode region with a LPD oxide layer to prevent the impurities within the doped Si glass remaining in non-bottom electrode region from driving into the substrate during annealing, thus non-desired diffusing region connecting to the bottom electrode will be generated. Consequently, the leakage current existing in conventional buried capacitor will be effectively reduced according to the method of this present invention.
Abstract:
A shifter on a handlebar for operating a derailleur cable of a bicycle derailleur mechanism includes an actuating ring connected to an end of the derailleur cable and received in a frame on the handlebar. A resilient plate extends tangentially from the actuating ring and is engaged with one of dents in the frame. A operation sleeve is mounted to a tube of the frame and connected to the actuating ring so that when rotating the operation sleeve, the actuating ring is rotated and the cable is pulled, while a distal end of the resilient plate is moveably and engaged with one of the dents to provide the rider a clear positioning feature of the gear changing.
Abstract:
A shock-absorbing frame for a bicycle includes a first body, a middle body, a shock-absorbing device, a second body, and two holders. Thus, the middle body and the second body are rotated on the opposite directions, and the drive chain wheel and the driven chain wheel are moved upward and forward simultaneously, so that the distance between the drive chain wheel and the driven chain wheel is kept at a constant, thereby preventing the chain mounted between the drive chain wheel and the driven chain wheel from becoming loosened or detached, so that the chain is mounted between the drive chain wheel and the driven chain wheel rigidly and stably without detachment so as to protect the rider's safety.
Abstract:
A simple method for calculating the optimum amount of HDP deposited material that needs to be removed during CMP (without introducing dishing) is described. This method derives from our observation of a linear relationship between the amount of material that needs to be removed in order to achieve full planarization and a quantity called “OD for CMP density”. The latter is defined as PA×(100−PS) where PA is the percentage of active area relative to the total wafer area and PS is the percentage of sub-areas relative to the total wafer area. The sub-areas are regions in the dielectric, above the active areas, that are etched out prior to CMP. Thus, once the materials have been characterized, the optimum CMP removal thickness is readily calculated for a wide range of different circuit implementations.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for forming a pattern by which the T-top formation problem of chemically amplified resists is eliminated. Preferably, an i-line resist is employed as a barrier layer to protect the underlying chemically amplified resist from base attack. The i-line resist used herein can be exposed and developed by a normal deep-UV lithography process without substantially affecting the performance of chemically amplified resists.
Abstract:
A sprocket assembly includes a larger diameter sprocket having a plurality of teeth formed on an outer periphery thereof, and a smaller diameter sprocket having a plurality of teeth formed on an outer periphery thereof. A driving chain meshes with the plurality of teeth of the smaller diameter sprocket and is able to shift from a first center of a space defined between the teeth of one pair of adjacent teeth located at the smaller diameter sprocket to a second center of a space defined between the teeth of one pair of adjacent teeth located at the larger diameter sprocket. A distance between the first and second centers is made not equal to an integer multiple of the pitch of the driving chain such that the driving chain is bent between the first and second centers and is deflected from a moving direction thereof which is along a tangent line drawn from the first center of the smaller diameter sprocket, and such that the driving chain has a deflection point relative to the first and second centers.
Abstract:
A tension adjusting device for a transmission system of a bicycle includes a rear frame pivotally and linearly mounted to a front frame of the bicycle, the rear frame including a pair of arms parallel to each other and connected to each other. Each arm includes a rear end for mounting a the rear wheel of the bicycle and a front end extending to the front frame of the bicycle and connected by an axle that is pivotally mounted in a the front frame. An adjuster is mounted between the two arms. The adjuster includes a linkage includes a lower end pivotally connected to the two arms and a bolt screwed through an upper end of the linkage and extends into the front frame to make the upper end of the linkage abut against the front frame due to a gravity from the bicycle.
Abstract:
A foldable bicycle includes a front fork, a head tube, a support tube, an adjusting member, two support levers, a rear fork, and a hydraulic cylinder. Thus, when the foldable bicycle is folded, the rear wheel is in parallel with the front wheel, so that the user can simultaneously draw the rear wheel and the front wheel to move easily and conveniently, thereby facilitating the user moving the folded bicycle. In addition, the foldable bicycle is folded easily and conveniently, thereby facilitating the user folding the bicycle.
