  • Publication number: 20190164816
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a first layer over a second layer. The method includes forming a first recess and a second recess in the first layer. The first recess is narrower than the second recess. The method includes forming a first covering layer in the first recess and the second recess. The first covering layer in the first recess is thinner than the first covering layer in the second recess. The method includes removing the first covering layer in the first recess and the first covering layer covering the first bottom surface to form a first opening in the first covering layer in the second recess. The method includes removing the first portion and the second portion through the first recess and the first opening.

  • Publication number: 20190146336
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for improving post-photolithography critical dimension (CD) uniformity for features printed on a photoresist. A layer can be formed on one or more printed features and subsequently etched to improve overall CD uniformity across the features. For example the method includes a material layer disposed over a substrate and a photoresist over the material layer. The photoresist is patterned to form a first feature with a first critical dimension (CD) and a second feature with a second CD that is larger than the first CD. Further, a layer is formed with one or more deposition/etch cycles in the second feature to form a modified second CD that is nominally equal to the first CD.

  • Patent number: 9256114
    Abstract: A supercontinuum generation system comprises a noise-like pulse fiber laser structure, an amplification unit and a broadening medium. The noise-like pulse fiber laser structure generates at lease one noise-like pulse of the wavelength less than 1300 nm. The amplification unit includes a gain fiber with which the noise-like pulse is coupled. The broadening medium is coupled with the gain fiber. A supercontinuum is generated when the noise-like pulse is amplified by the amplification unit and broadened in spectrum by the broadening medium.

  • Patent number: 8897325
    Abstract: A fiber laser having a ring resonance path comprises a pump light source, a Yb-doped optical fiber and a light modulation unit. The pump light source emits a pump light. The Yb-doped optical fiber is coupled with the pump light. The light modulation unit includes a grating pair, a diaphragm and two reflective elements. The grating pair is coupled with the pump light. The diaphragm includes an aperture. The light transmitted by the grating pair partially passes through the aperture and reaches one of the reflective elements to become a reflective light, and the reflective light passes through the aperture and is transmitted through the grating pair and the other reflective element to be coupled back with the ring resonance path.

  • Publication number: 20080291150
    Abstract: In order to solve a problem of deviation of a gamma curve of a display device due to temperature variation, the present invention provides a thermal compensation device for compensating a gamma curve of a display device. The thermal compensation device includes a thermal sensor, a storage unit, and a thermal compensation unit. The thermal sensor is used for detecting an ambient temperature inside the display device. The storage unit is used for storing a plurality of numerical data groups. The thermal compensation unit is coupled to the thermal sensor and the storage unit is used for selecting one numerical data group from the plurality of numerical data groups and transforming original image data into compensated image data with the selected numerical data group.
