  • Patent number: 11942556
    Abstract: A device includes a first channel layer, a second channel layer, a gate structure, a source/drain epitaxial structure, and a source/drain contact. The first channel layer and the second channel layer are arranged above the first channel layer in a spaced apart manner over a substrate. The gate structure surrounds the first and second channel layers. The source/drain epitaxial structure is connected to the first and second channel layers. The source/drain contact is connected to the source/drain epitaxial structure. The second channel layer is closer to the source/drain contact than the first channel layer is to the source/drain contact, and the first channel layer is thicker than the second channel layer.

  • Patent number: 11609559
    Abstract: A data processing system, including a cyclic correlation establishing module, a data pattern establishing module, and a data pattern alignment module, is provided. The cyclic correlation establishing module receives a plurality of first sensor data, obtained from a first sensor operation performed on processing devices, and receives a table of processing steps and cyclic procedures. The cyclic correlation establishing module obtains a data correlation of the first sensor data according to the number of sample points in a data cycle of the first sensor data and the table to correct the first sensor data. The data pattern establishing module obtains a plurality of first data pattern features from the first sensor data. The data pattern alignment module aligns a plurality of second sensor data obtained from a second sensor operation performed on the processing devices with the first sensor data according to the first data pattern features.

  • Publication number: 20150104914
    Abstract: A semiconductor process is provided, including following steps. A polysilicon layer is formed on a substrate. The polysilicon layer is cryo-implanted with at least two of multiple species including a germanium species, a carbon species and a p- or n-type species, at a temperature ranging between ?40° C. and ?120° C. An asymmetric dual-side heating treatment is performed to the polysilicon layer, wherein a power for a front-side heating is different from a power for a backside heating.

  • Patent number: 8835240
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided, wherein the method comprises steps as follows: A first conductive-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor and a second conductive-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor are firstly formed on a substrate. Subsequently, a first stress-inducing dielectric layer and a first capping layer are formed in sequence on the first conductive-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor; and then a second stress-inducing dielectric layer and a second capping layer are formed in sequence on the second conductive-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor. Next, the fist capping layer is removed.
