  • Publication number: 20240124643
    Abstract: A method for producing a polyester polyol is provided, which includes: feeding a first antioxidant and a raw material reactant that includes a polyacid and a polyol into a reactor; subjecting the polyacid and the polyol to an esterification reaction to form an oligomer; and performing a prepolymerization reaction on the oligomer to obtain a prepolymerization reactant. During the prepolymerization reaction, the method includes sampling and monitoring an acid value of the prepolymerization reactant. When the acid value of the prepolymerization reactant reaches a first acid value, an esterification reaction catalyst is added to the prepolymerization reactant for carrying out a polycondensation reaction and generating a polycondensation reactant that contains the polyester polyol. During the polycondensation reaction, the method includes sampling and monitoring an acid value of the polycondensation reactant.

  • Patent number: 11887898
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a semiconductor process includes the following steps. A process parameter is set to a first condition. A first process is performed to form a first film layer on a first wafer. The first film layer does not cover a wafer edge region of the first wafer. The first wafer having the first film layer is photographed by an image capturing device to obtain a first wafer image. Image recognition is performed to the first wafer image to obtain first data. Whether a position of the first film layer is offset is determined according to the first data.

  • Patent number: 11538818
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a memory structure including the following steps is provided. A spacer layer is formed on sidewalls of gate stack structures. A protective material layer covering the spacer layer and the gate stack structures is formed. A mask material layer is formed on the protective material layer. There is a void located in the mask material layer between two adjacent gate stack structures. A first distance is between a top of the protective material layer and a top of the mask material layer. A second distance is between a top of the void and a top of the mask material layer above the void. A third distance is between a bottom of the void and a bottom of the mask material layer below the void. The first distance is greater than a sum of the second and third distances.

  • Publication number: 20070298583
    Abstract: A method for forming a shallow trench isolation region (STI) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of sequentially forming a pad oxide layer and a nitride silicon layer over a provided substrate. Next, the pad oxide layer, the nitride silicon layer, and the substrate are partially etched to form a trench. An oxide liner and a nitride liner are then formed in the trench. Subsequently, a two-stage high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition process is performed to form a shallow trench isolation region.
