  • Publication number: 20240097002
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a dielectric stack over a substrate, in which forming the dielectric stack includes forming a first support layer, a first sacrificial layer, a second support layer, a second sacrificial layer and a third support layer in sequence. A first hard mask layer is formed over the dielectric stack. A second hard mask layer is formed over the first hard mask layer. A patterned mask is formed over the second hard mask layer. The first and second hard mask layers are etched using the patterned mask as an etch mask to form first and second hard masks, in which the first hard mask layer is etched faster than the second hard mask layer. An opening is formed in the dielectric stack to expose the substrate. A bottom electrode layer is formed in the opening of the dielectric stack.

  • Patent number: 11933359
    Abstract: A miniature linear guideway includes a rail, a slider, two circulation fittings and a retainer. The slider and the circulation fitting are set on the rail, so that a circulation channel is formed between the rail and the slider for the balls to run. The circulation fitting has several turning convex portions. The retainer has a plate portion and two retaining portions. The two ends of each retaining portion are connected to the plate portion by a positioning portion, and the plate portion is adjacent to the slider. The positioning portions of the retainer abut the turning convex portions. The width of the plate portion of the retainer is smaller than the distance between the turning convex portions of the circulation fitting. Thereby, the miniature linear guideway of the present invention can optimize the assembly efficiency, thereby realizing the purpose of automatic assembly.

  • Publication number: 20240087947
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and method of manufacture are provided. In some embodiments isolation regions are formed by modifying a dielectric material of a dielectric layer such that a first portion of the dielectric layer is more readily removed by an etching process than a second portion of the dielectric layer. The modifying of the dielectric material facilitates subsequent processing steps that allow for the tuning of a profile of the isolation regions to a desired geometry based on the different material properties of the modified dielectric material.

  • Publication number: 20240087207
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for reducing GPU load by programmatically controlling shading rates in computer graphics. GPU load may be reduced by applying different shading rates to different screen regions. By reading the depth buffer of previous frames and performing image processing, thresholds may be calculated that control the shading rates. The approach may be run on any platform that supports VRS hardware and primitive- or image-based VRS. The approach may be applied on a graphics driver installed on a client device, in a firmware layer between hardware and a driver, in a software layer between a driver and an application, or in hardware on the client device. The approach is flexible and adaptable and calculates and sets the variable rate shading based on the graphics generated by an application without requiring the application developer to manually set variable rate shading.
