  • Publication number: 20210242309
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a Fin FET, a fin structure extending in a first direction is formed over a substrate. An isolation insulating layer is formed over the substrate so that an upper portion of the fin structure is exposed from the isolation insulating layer. A gate structure extending in a second direction crossing the first direction is formed over a part of the fin structure. A fin mask layer is formed on sidewalls of a source/drain region of the fin structure. The source/drain region of the fin structure is recessed by a plasma etching process. An epitaxial source/drain structure is formed over the recessed fin structure. In the recessing the source/drain region of the fin structure, the plasma etching process comprises applying pulsed bias voltage and RF voltage with pulsed power.

  • Patent number: 10859906
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method to form alignment marks on or in the top layer of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask blank without the use of photolithographic methods. For example, the method can include forming a metal structure on the top layer of the EUV mask blank by dispensing a hexacarbonylchromium vapor on the top layer of the EUV mask and exposing the hexacarbonylchromium vapor to an electron-beam. The hexacarbonylchromium vapor is decomposed to form the metal structure at an area which is proximate to where the hexacarbonylchromium vapors interact with the electron-beam. In another example, the method can include forming a patterned structure in the top layer of an EUV mask blank with the use of an etcher aperture and an etching process.

  • Publication number: 20190188315
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed to support grouping and storing a data stream based on the types of data items in the stream for efficient data batch processing and analysis. First, the data stream is uploaded to a cloud storage, wherein the stream of data includes a plurality of data items of different types generated by and collected from different users and/or devices. The data items are then retrieved, grouped and saved by a preprocessing unit into a plurality of batch data queues, wherein data items in each batch data queue are of the same type. One or more batch processing units are then configured to fetch and batch process data items from the batch data queues and store these data items of the same data type to one or more cloud storage files for further processing and analysis on the cloud storage one batch data queue at a time.

  • Patent number: 9209733
    Abstract: A current vector controlled synchronous reluctance motor and control method thereof, wherein the motor has a coil on each of the teeth. The coils form a U-phase winding, a V-phase winding and a W-phase winding. The phase windings receive a balanced three-phase current vector to induce closed magnetic field lines, such that the coils induce same magnetic poles adjacent to the rotor unit. Two short magnetic routes are formed along three adjacent teeth and the rotor unit. The efficiency of the reluctance motor is high.
