Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a workpiece having a redistribution layer disposed over and electrically coupled to an interconnect structure. In some embodiments, the method further includes patterning the redistribution layer to form a recess between and separating a first conductive feature and a second conductive feature of the redistribution layer, where corners of the first conductive feature and the second conductive feature are defined adjacent to and on either side of the recess. The method further includes depositing a first dielectric layer over the first conductive feature, the second conductive feature, and within the recess. The method further includes depositing a nitride layer over the first dielectric layer. In some examples, the method further includes removing portions of the nitride layer disposed over the corners of the first conductive feature and the second conductive feature.

Abstract: A recording medium. A recording layer is disposed overlying a substrate. A moisture barrier layer is disposed overlying the recording layer. A reflecting layer is disposed overlying the moisture barrier layer. An adhesion layer is disposed overlying the reflecting layer. Due to the static moisture barrier layer interposed between the reflecting layer and the recording layer in an embodiment of the invention, moisture interpenetration from ambience can be diminished to improve weather and corrosion resistance of the recording medium.

Abstract: A new method for the preparation of chiral 4-substituted 2-piperidinones, trans-3,4-disubstituted 2-piperidinones, and trans-3,4-disubstituted piperidines is invented. Chiral paroxetine can be obtained from a chiral trans-3,4-disubstituted piperidine intermediate in high purity and good selectivity.
