Abstract: A method of manufacturing a phase change memory device is provided. A first insulating layer having a plurality of metal word lines spaced apart at a constant distance is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A plurality of line structures having a barrier metal layer, a polysilicon layer and a hard mask layer are formed to be overlaid on the plurality of metal word lines. A second insulating layer is formed between the line structures. Cross patterns are formed by etching the hard mask layers and the polysilicon layers of the line structures using mask patterns crossed with the metal word lines. A third insulating layer is buried within spaces between the cross patterns. Self-aligned phase change contact holes are formed and at the same time, diode patterns formed of remnant polysilicon layers are formed by selectively removing the hard mask layers constituting the cross patterns.

Abstract: In pneumatic non-load quick dual-speed hydraulic jack, the small of piston ring (17) of hydraulic pump cylinder integrates with pump body (19) and external ring of step pump core (14) to form movable assembly. The middle part of step pump core (14) is provided with pump core step interface (8) used for conversion of hydraulic speed. The step hole on the same axis of pneumatic valve block on special pneumatic valve structure is provided with washer (48), button (49), pneumatic valve core (45), compressed spring (68) and valve core fastness set. The pneumatic valve parts can replace the hydraulic quick pump structure partially when the high-pressure air source is available. High-pressure air delivered to the oil reservoir of the external sleeve (4) presses the hydraulic oil into the oil chamber of oil cylinder, and thus facilitates the quick lift of jack piston under light load or empty load.
