  • Patent number: 6506543
    Abstract: A method of photolithography using super-resolution near-field structure. A super-resolution near-field structure is formed on a semiconductor chip comprising a substrate and a photoresist layer thereon. An incident light beam penetrates through the super-resolution near-field structure to expose the photoresist layer. While penetrating through the super-resolution near field structure, the intensity of the incident light beam is increased, and the aperture of the light beam is reduced. As a result, the line width of the pattern formed on the photoresist layer is narrowed. The super-resolution near-field structure has a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer and an active layer sandwiched between the first and the second dielectric layers. The active layer is formed of one of gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), indium (In), tin (Sn), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and silver (Ag).

  • Patent number: 6404722
    Abstract: A method of increasing recording density and capacity of a compact disc. The compact disc has a transparent substrate and a data-recording region on the transparent substrate. To perform data access, a laser light beam emitting from a light source transmits through the transparent substrate and is incident on the data recording region. By inserting a optical plate with a super-resolution near-field structure between the light source and the compact disc, the light intensity of the laser light beam is increased and the aperture of the laser light beam is reduced. Therefore, the recording dimension of data recording region on the compact disc is reduced, and the recording density and capacity of the compact disc is increased. The super-resolution near-field structure is formed of a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer and an active layer sandwiched between the first and second dielectric layers.

  • Patent number: 6391395
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of forming a polysilicon layer. A light shield layer having a super-resolution near-field structure is arranged on an amorphous silicon layer. The super-resolution near-field structure includes a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer, and an active layer between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer. The light shield layer is irradiated by a laser beam having a first intensity to generate a transmitted laser beam having a second intensity. The second intensity is greater than the first intensity. An annealing process is performed to irradiate the amorphous silicon layer with the transmitted laser beam having a second intensity thereby converting the amorphous silicon layer into a polysilicon layer.
