  • Publication number: 20240094464
    Abstract: A semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) structure and a method for forming the SOI structure. The method includes forming a first dielectric layer on a first semiconductor layer. A second semiconductor layer is formed over an etch stop layer. A cleaning solution is provided to a first surface of the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is bonded under the second semiconductor layer in an environment having a substantially low pressure. An index guiding layer may be formed over the second semiconductor layer. A third semiconductor layer is formed over the second semiconductor layer. A distance between a top of the third semiconductor layer and a bottom of the second semiconductor layer varies between a maximum distance and a minimum distance. A planarization process is performed on the third semiconductor layer to reduce the maximum distance.

  • Patent number: 10676562
    Abstract: A process for preparing solvent-free aqueous polyurethane dispersion modified with acrylic grafting is divided into four steps. The first step is a reaction of a diisocyanate with a polyol to prepare a prepolymer; the second step involves diluting the prepolymer with an acrylate monomer and adding a sulfonate-based chain extender to react; the third step involves adding deionized water and a water-soluble diamine-based chain extender to obtain a solvent-free sulfonate-based aqueous polyurethane dispersion; and the fourth step involves letting the aqueous polyurethane become modified with acrylic grafting. The resulting aqueous polyurethane has excellent mechanical strength, heat resistance and water resistance.
