  • Patent number: 8389358
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory structure includes a substrate; a poly gate structure formed on the substrate; a contact etching stop layer formed over the poly gate structure and including at least a silicon nitride layer and a first silicon oxide layer overlying the silicon nitride layer; and an inter-layer dielectric layer formed on the first silicon oxide layer. The first silicon oxide layer has a density higher than that of the inter-layer dielectric layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110107017
    Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a first data section, a second data section, and a common data section. The first data section stores first data, the second data section stores second data, and the common data section stores common data. The storage apparatus stores a single copy of the common data. The common data and the first data correspond to a first memory bank. The common data and the second data correspond to a second memory bank.

  • Publication number: 20060099369
    Abstract: An EVA foam sponge self-adhesive solid character including a character layer made of EVA foam sponge, an adhesive layer adhered to backside of the character layer and a releasable paper overlaid on the adhesive layer. The character layer can have a form of an English alphabet such as “A” or Chinese characters of a distich or good-luck slogans or an advertisement slogan. After a user tears off the releasable paper, via the adhesive layer, the character layer can be firmly adhered to a stationary article such as a wall or a door. Accordingly, the distich, good-luck slogans, advertisement sign, etc. can present solid characters.
