Patents by Inventor Chu-Yun Hsiao

Chu-Yun Hsiao has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10134858
    Abstract: A semiconductor process includes the following step. A metal gate strip and a cap layer are sequentially formed in a trench of a dielectric layer. The cap layer and the metal gate strip are cut off to form a plurality of caps on a plurality of metal gates, and a gap isolates adjacent caps and adjacent metal gates. An isolation material fills in the gap. The present invention also provides semiconductor structures formed by said semiconductor process. For example, the semiconductor structure includes a plurality of stacked structures in a trench of a dielectric layer, where each of the stacked structures includes a metal gate and a cap on the metal gate, where an isolation slot isolates and contacts adjacent stacked structures at end to end, and the isolation slot has same level as the stacked structures.

  • Patent number: 10109630
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device and a method of forming the same. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor and the second transistor are disposed on the substrate. The first transistor includes a first channel and a first work function layer. The second transistor includes a second channel and a second work function layer, where the first channel and the second channel include different dopants, and the second work function layer and the first work function layer have a same conductive type and different thicknesses.
