  • Stress-controlled formation of TiN hard mask
    Patent number: 9218970
    Abstract: A method to form a titanium nitride (TiN) hard mask in the Damascene process of forming interconnects during the fabrication of a semiconductor device, while the type and magnitude of stress carried by the TiN hard mask is controlled. The TiN hard mask is formed in a multi-layered structure where each sub-layer is formed successively by repeating a cycle of processes comprising TiN and chlorine PECVD deposition, and N2/H2 plasma gas treatment. During its formation, the stress to be carried by the TiN hard mask is controlled by controlling the number of TiN sub-layers and the plasma gas treatment duration such that the stress may counter-balance predetermined external stress anticipated on a conventionally made TiN hard mask, which causes trench sidewall distortion, trench opening shrinkage, and gap filling problem.

    Abstract: A method for detecting a single-finger rotation gesture and a gesture detecting circuit thereof are provided. The gesture detecting circuit comprises a quadrant dividing unit, a register, a control unit, a comparing unit, and an outputting unit. The quadrant dividing unit, according to the center point, divides a touch panel into at least three quadrants and sets a plurality of data codes respectively corresponding to the quadrants. Within a predetermined time, the control unit controls the register to sequentially record the data codes respectively corresponding to the touched quadrants. When the predetermined time is reached, the comparing unit compares to judge whether the temporary data buffered in the register is the same with the default data. If the temporary data is the same with the default data, then the outputting unit outputs a rotation gesture signal.
