  • Patent number: 11978664
    Abstract: A method includes forming a first conductive feature over a semiconductor substrate, forming an ILD layer over the first conductive feature, patterning the ILD layer to form a trench, and forming a conductive layer over the patterned ILD layer to fill the trench. The method further includes polishing the conductive layer to form a via contact configured to interconnect the first conductive feature with a second conductive feature, where polishing the conductive layer exposes a top surface of the ILD layer, polishing the exposed top surface of the ILD layer, such that a top portion of the via contact protrudes from the exposed top surface of the ILD layer, and forming the second conductive feature over the via contact, such that the top portion of the via contact extends into the second conductive feature.

  • Publication number: 20240071803
    Abstract: Methods and systems for dry etching are disclosed. The system includes a wafer clamp ring having a central opening through which a substrate may be treated and a plurality of smaller, outer support holes for receiving pins from plunger assemblies. The outer support holes are tapered and change in diameter. The tapered shape reduces horizontal shifting of the wafer clamp ring which can occur as the wafer clamp ring is moved up-and-down during operational use. The reduced shifting increases wafer yield along the edges of the wafer.

  • Publication number: 20130309433
    Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to a screen protective film structure for disposing on an outer surface of an electronic device. The electronic device has a display portion and a frame portion. The screen protective film structure has a light-permitting film and an adhesive portion. The light-permitting film is disposed on one side of the display portion. A central space is formed between the light-permitting film and the display portion. The adhesive portion is connected to the light-permitting film and having a plurality of adhesive protrusions. The adhesive protrusions are abutted to the frame portion, and a gap is formed between the adhesive protrusions. The gap is in communication with the central space and the ambient. Thus, trapped air between the screen protective film structure and the electronic device can be relieved.
