  • Patent number: 10199374
    Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device is disclosed. A substrate having a first transistor on a first region, a second transistor on a second region, a trench isolation region, a resistor-forming region is provided. A first ILD layer covers the first region, the second region, and the resistor-forming region. A resistor material layer and a capping layer are formed over the first region, the second region, and the resistor-forming region. The capping layer and the resistor material layer are patterned to form a first hard mask pattern above the first and second regions and a second hard mask pattern above the resistor-forming region. The resistor material layer is isotropically etched. A second ILD layer is formed over the substrate. The second ILD layer and the first ILD layer are patterned with a mask and the first hard mask pattern to form a contact opening.

  • Patent number: 7872852
    Abstract: A three-dimensional conductive structure has a first electrode and a second electrode of a capacitor structure, and thereby defines a capacitor space. At least a signal line is further included in the capacitor space where both the first electrode and the second electrode can cross and detour round the signal line. Therefore, the signal line can go directly through the capacitor space for transferring various signals without making a detour to avoid the whole capacitor structure.

  • Patent number: 5571322
    Abstract: A pencil marking device for clipped cloth includes a fixing base, a pencil pedestal, a driving pedestal, a driving source, and at least two sensors, in which the fixing base is fixed on the automatic marking machinery, and the pencil pedestal is connected in it. The tooth ring is formed on the outside of the pencil pedestal. The driving pedestal is installed on one side of the fixing pedestal and is engaged with the tooth ring of the pencil pedestal through an active gear rack for driving the pencil pedestal to rotate at a fix point. The active gear rack is connected with the driving source by an U shape connection and driven to move horizontally by the driving source. The sensors are installed on the ends of the driving pedestal respectively for sensing the moving range of the active gear rack. The range of the horizontal movement of the active gear rack is restricted for driving the pencil in the pencil pedestal to rotate and mark at a fix position, then an automatic pencil marking device is constructed.
