  • SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20240128127
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a single diffusion break (SDB) structure dividing a fin-shaped structure into a first portion and a second portion, an isolation structure on the SDB structure, a first spacer adjacent to the isolation structure, a metal gate adjacent to the isolation structure, a shallow trench isolation (STI around the fin-shaped structure, and a second isolation structure on the STI. Preferably, a top surface of the first spacer is lower than a top surface of the isolation structure and a bottom surface of the first spacer is lower than a bottom surface of the metal gate.

  • Method of fabricating reticle
    Patent number: 11940737
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a device design layout and a scribe line design layout surrounding the device design layout. The device design layout and the scribe line design layout are rotated in different directions. An optical proximity correction (OPC) process is performed on the rotated device design layout and the rotated scribe line design layout. A reticle includes the device design layout and the scribe line design layout is formed after performing the OPC process.

  • Configurable mechanism and abstract API model for directory operations
    Patent number: 6970873
    Abstract: A computing device including a method of adding to a directory information tree involving the steps of accessing a template name, reading a template according to the accessed template name, the template including structural information of the directory information tree, receiving a first set of attributes from an application program, the received first set of attributes not including a location within the directory information tree, constructing an entry including the received first set of attributes, and a destination location within the directory information, the destination location generated using the structural information, and adding the constructed entry to the directory information tree at the destination location.

  • Configurable mechanism and abstract API model for directory operations
    Publication number: 20030028752
    Abstract: A method providing an application computer program to be written independently of the structure of a directory information tree. The application program makes calls to an innovative API, the API accessing the structure of the directory information tree in an innovative template. If the structure of the directory information tree is changed, the template is changed, but the application is not changed.
