Abstract: A part number request processing system and method is provided which allows a part number requester to efficiently obtain the verification of the part quality. The system resides in a server having a part specification database for storing a plurality of part specification label having part information and corresponding supplier information and a part test database for storing a plurality of part test records having part information and corresponding part test information. When the server receives a request, it extracts the part number specification information and test results to verify if the parts requested meet the standard, if not met, the supplier is assessed; oppositely, if met the purchase request is sent to the supplier. After delivery of the parts, test information is entered into the server via a network system to update the part specification information and part test information to provide the verification of the part purchase request.

Abstract: A method and a system for managing engineer-modified trial operation are provided, for use in an enterprise to perform automatic integration planning for engineer-modified related processes. By computer information management technology and network technology, an online trial operation procedure is executed for a confirmed engineer-modified project.

Abstract: A high-sheet-resistance polysilicon resistor for integrated circuits is achieved by using a two-layer polysilicon process. After forming FET gate electrodes and capacitor bottom electrodes from a polycide layer, a thin interpolysilicon oxide (IPO) layer is deposited to form the capacitor interelectrode dielectric. A doped polysilicon layer and an undoped polysilicon layer are deposited and patterned to form the resistor. The doped polysilicon layer is in-situ doped to minimize the temperature and voltage coefficients of resistivity. Since the undoped polysilicon layer has a very high resistance (infinite), the resistance is predominantly determined by the doped polysilicon layer.

Abstract: Device layouts are described which increase the photon current of a metal oxide semiconductor image sensor. The metal oxide semiconductor can be NMOS, PMOS, or CMOS. The key part of the photon current of the image sensors comes from the depletion region at the PN junction between the drain region and the substrate material. The layouts used significantly increase the area of this depletion region illuminated by a stream of photons. The layouts have a drain region which takes the shape of a number of parallel fingers perpendicular to the gate electrode, a number of parallel fingers parallel to the gate electrode, or a spiral. The drain regions of these layouts significantly increase the area of the drain depletion region illuminated by a stream of electrons.

Abstract: A process for creating field oxide isolation for the micron and sub-micron devices in the high density integrated circuits has been developed. The junction leakage problem resulted from the trenches in the substrate formed after the removal of the silicon nitride mask, is avoided. The encroachment of the "bird's beak" into the small active device region is also minimized by this invention. These goals are accomplished by the addition of a polysilicon or amorphous silicon refill layer in the trenches after the removal of the silicon nitride oxidation mask in the isolation region, prior to field oxide oxidation process.

Abstract: A protective cap of dielectric material is deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on the surface of electrical bonding pads of semiconductor integrated circuits prior to deposition of the final passivation layer. The protective cap serves to isolate the pad surface from electrochemical or other interaction with the etching solution used to open contact holes through the passivation layer. This prevents the formation of surface damage and residues on the pad which lead to yield and reliability problem with integrated circuits.

Abstract: A patterned silicon nitride layer formed over a semiconductor integrated circuit wafer having a layer of pad oxide is often used as a mask for subsequent processing steps. Etching of the silicon nitride layer is difficult to control and can create defects in the pad oxide layer which are difficult to detect before the manufacture of the semiconductor integrated circuit wafer is completed. A method is described using potassium hydroxide treatment and scanning electron microscope evaluation of a test wafer for detection of defects at the silicon nitride etching step. Continued processing of defective wafers can be terminated and the silicon nitride etching step can be controlled using this method.
