  • Publication number: 20220351946
    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes placing a substrate including a material layer thereon in a plasma chamber. The plasma chamber includes a housing, a first electrode array including a plurality of first sub-electrodes, a plurality of first matching units each electrically connected to one of the first sub-electrodes, and a second electrode array disposed in the housing, the second electrode array including a plurality of second sub-electrodes. The method also includes supplying an etching gas into the plasma chamber and applying a first RF power source to the first sub-electrodes of the first electrode array by the first matching units to form an etching plasma from the etching gas. The method further includes adjusting a distance between each of the first sub-electrodes and the substrate to generate a plasma density distribution across the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11332275
    Abstract: A honeycomb structure is disclosed. The honeycomb structure includes a plurality of first partitions and a plurality of second partitions. The plurality of first partitions has a plurality of first honeycomb partitions. The plurality of second partitions has a plurality of second honeycomb partitions, and the plurality of first honeycomb partitions and the plurality of second honeycomb partitions are fitted to each other such that the plurality of second partitions and the plurality of first partitions are interdigitated to form at least one receiving portion, wherein the plurality of Its first honeycomb partitions have at least one die line. One part of at least one first honeycomb partition is bendable at least one die line to change the size of an opening size of the receiving portion corresponding to the at least one first honeycomb partition which is bended.

  • Publication number: 20180269102
    Abstract: Formation methods of a semiconductor device structure are provided. The method includes forming a bottom layer, a middle layer and an upper layer over a substrate, developing the upper layer to form an upper pattern with a first opening exposing the middle layer and a sidewall of the upper pattern. The upper pattern has a top surface. The method further includes conformally forming a protective layer over the upper pattern and the exposed middle layer, anisotropically etching the protective layer to leave a portion of the protective layer over the sidewall of the upper pattern and expose the middle layer, etching the middle layer not covered by the upper pattern and the portion of the protective layer to form a middle pattern with a second opening exposing the bottom layer, and etching the bottom layer though the second opening of the middle pattern.
