  • Patent number: 11935783
    Abstract: Examples of an integrated circuit with an interconnect structure and a method for forming the integrated circuit are provided herein. In some examples, the method includes receiving a workpiece that includes a substrate and an interconnect structure. The interconnect structure includes a first conductive feature disposed within a first inter-level dielectric layer. A blocking layer is selectively formed on the first conductive feature without forming the blocking layer on the first inter-level dielectric layer. An alignment feature is selectively formed on the first inter-level dielectric layer without forming the alignment feature on the blocking layer. The blocking layer is removed from the first conductive feature, and a second inter-level dielectric layer is formed on the alignment feature and on the first conductive feature. The second inter-level dielectric layer is patterned to define a recess for a second conductive feature, and the second conductive feature is formed within the recess.

  • Publication number: 20150024815
    Abstract: A hit recognition electronic target shooting system and a recognition method thereof are revealed. The system includes an electronic target and at least two practice guns. The electronic target is activated and at least two users hold the practice guns and pull triggers to shoot the electronic target simultaneously. After detecting a light beam from the light beam source of the practice gun that hit the electronic target first, a light sensor delays for a period of time to receive light signal. Simultaneously a sensing signal is transmitted to a control unit. Thus the control unit recognizes the practice gun that hit the electronic target first. Thereby many users respectively hold a practice gun to shoot the same electronic target simultaneously and which practice gun first hits the electronic target can be recognized. A better shooting practice, training competition or entertainment is achieved.
