Abstract: The present disclosure provides an interconnect structure, including a first metal line, a second metal line spaced away from the first metal line, a conductive contact over the first metal line, including a first portion, a second portion over the first portion, wherein a bottom width of the second portion is greater than a top width of the first portion, wherein a shortest distance between the second portion and the second metal line is in a range from 50 Angstrom to 200 Angstrom, and a third portion over the second portion, wherein a bottom width of the third portion is greater than a top width of the second portion, the entire first portion and the entire second portion are under a coverage of a vertical projection area of the third portion, a first layer, and a second layer over the first layer.

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 decoding method for audio video stream synchronization is provided. The audio video stream includes multiple clock references and multiple audio and video data packets. Each of the data packets corresponds to a presentation value. The decoding method includes: reconstructing a clock value according to a first clock reference; determining whether a difference between the clock value and a first presentation value in multiple presentation values is greater than a first range; when the difference between the clock value and the first presentation value is greater than the first range, changing the clock value to a second presentation value in the multiple presentation values; and performing at least one audio video synchronization step according to the clock value set based on the second presentation value.
