Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method for forming liner-free or barrier-free conductive structures. The method includes depositing an etch stop layer on a cobalt contact disposed on a substrate, depositing a dielectric on the etch stop layer, etching the dielectric and the etch stop layer to form an opening that exposes a top surface of the cobalt contact, and etching the exposed top surface of the cobalt contact to form a recess in the cobalt contact extending laterally under the etch stop layer. The method further includes depositing a ruthenium metal to substantially fill the recess and the opening, and annealing the ruthenium metal to form an oxide layer between the ruthenium metal and the dielectric.

Abstract: An image data transmission system and an image data transmission method are provided. The image data transmission system includes an image sensing device, a master device, and a serial transmission bus. The serial transmission bus electrically connects the image sensing device and the master device. The master device transmits a read command to the image sensing device through the serial transmission bus, and the image sensing device transmits a first data sequence to the master device through the serial transmission bus in response to the read command.

Abstract: An exposure method, an electronic device and a master-slave system are provided. The electronic device includes an image capturing circuit and a processor coupled to the image capturing circuit. The processor obtains an exposure command and a first quantity, controls the image capturing circuit to perform an exposure operation to capture an image according to the exposure command, and determines whether a quantity of the image reaches the first quantity. When the quantity of the image does not reach the first quantity, the processor performs the operation of controlling the image capturing circuit to perform the exposure operation to capture the image again. When the quantity of the image reaches the first quantity, the processor stops controlling the image capturing circuit to perform the exposure operation.

Abstract: A master-slave system, a command execution method, and a data access method are provided. The master-slave system includes a master device and a slave device. The master device provides a first command and a clock signal to the slave device. The slave device executes a first operation corresponding to the first command according to the first command and the clock signal. When the first operation corresponding to the first command is completed, the slave device generates a response signal according to the clock signal to notify the master device an execution result of the first operation corresponding to the first command.
