  • Publication number: 20170029171
    Abstract: A portable tray for holding objects, like parts and tools, at a work area, having one or more magnets for securing the tray to a vertical magnetizable surface. The tray comprises a receptacle having a bottom surface, and a wall extending from the bottom surface. The bottom surface does not form a closed shape, but has end edges at each end of the wall. A back panel attaches to each end edge to close the wall. One or more magnets are fixedly disposed in the back panel and are configured to secure the tray to a substantially vertical surface while the tray is in a substantially horizontal orientation. The tray may also include a hanging tab for hanging the tray using fasteners. The tray may also have magnets fixedly disposed on the bottom surface to secure to the tray to a substantially horizontal magnetizable surface while the tray is substantially horizontal.

    Abstract: A method of the measuring a critical dimension of a spacer is provided. The measurement is performed by using several test structures of measuring doping region resistance. Each of the test structure has different space disposed between a first gate line and a second gate line. By measuring a doping region resistance of each test structure, a plot of reciprocal of resistance versus space can be accomplished. Then, making regression of the plot, a correlation can be formed. Finally, a critical dimension of a spacer can be get by extrapolating the correlation back to 0 unit of reciprocal of resistance.
