Patent number: 11955379Abstract: A metal adhesion layer may be formed on a bottom and a sidewall of a trench prior to formation of a metal plug in the trench. A plasma may be used to modify the phase composition of the metal adhesion layer to increase adhesion between the metal adhesion layer and the metal plug. In particular, the plasma may cause a shift or transformation of the phase composition of the metal adhesion layer to cause the metal adhesion layer to be composed of a (111) dominant phase. The (111) dominant phase of the metal adhesion layer increases adhesion between the metal adhesion layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Pei-Wen Wu, Chun-I Tsai, Chi-Cheng Hung, Jyh-Cherng Sheu, Yu-Sheng Wang, Ming-Hsing Tsai

Patent number: 11937903Abstract: A blood pressure device includes a first blood pressure measuring device, a second blood pressure measuring device, and a controller. The first blood pressure measuring device is to be worn on a first position of a wrist so as to obtain a first blood pressure information of the first position. The second blood pressure measuring device is to be worn on a second position of the wrist so as to obtain a second blood pressure information of the second position. The controller is electrically coupled to the first blood pressure measuring device and the second blood pressure measuring device so as to adjust tightness between the expanders and the user's skin, respectively. The controller receives, processes, and calculates a pulse transit time between the first blood pressure information and the second blood pressure information, and the controller obtains at least one blood pressure value based on the pulse transit time.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: MICROJET TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Hao-Jan Mou, Yung-Lung Han, Chi-Feng Huang, Chang-Yen Tsai, Wei-Ming Lee, Chun-Yi Kuo, Chin-Wen Hsieh

Patent number: 8191231Abstract: A method for manufacturing an antenna includes steps as follows. First, a substrate is provided, wherein a surface of the substrate has an antenna region. Then, the surface of the substrate is electroless plated with a metal medium, so that the surface is covered with the metal medium. Then, the metal medium is covered with a resist. Then, a portion of the resist in the antenna region is removed. Then, the antenna region is electroplated with metal material to form an antenna main body. Then, a remaining portion of the resist is removed, and excluding a portion of the metal medium in the antenna region, the other portion of the metal medium is also removed from the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2010Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Wistron NeWeb CorporationInventors: Wen-Kuei Lo, Sheng-Chieh Chang, Bau-Yi Huang, Chi-Wen Tsai, Hsin-Hui Hsu, Tzuh-Suan Wang
