  • Patent number: 10685868
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a contact hole includes the steps of providing a conductive line, a mask layer covering and contacting the conductive line, a high-k dielectric layer covering and contacting the mask layer, and a first silicon oxide layer covering and contacting the high-k dielectric layer, wherein the high-k dielectric layer includes a first metal oxide layer, a second metal oxide layer and a third metal oxide layer stacked from bottom to top. A dry etching process is performed to etch the first silicon oxide layer, the high-k dielectric layer, and the mask layer to expose the conductive line and form a contact hole. Finally, a wet etching process is performed to etch the first silicon oxide layer, the third metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer to widen the contact hole, and the first metal oxide layer remains after the wet etching process.

  • Patent number: 10460939
    Abstract: A patterning method includes the following steps. A second mask layer is formed on a first mask layer. A patterning process is performed to the first mask layer and the second mask layer. The first mask layer is patterned to be a first mask pattern, and the second mask layer is patterned to be a second mask pattern formed on the first mask pattern. A first trim process is performed to the second mask pattern. A width of the second mask pattern is smaller than a width of the first mask pattern after the first trim process. A cover layer is formed covering the first mask pattern and the second mask pattern after the first trim process, and an etching process is performed to the first mask pattern after the step of forming the cover layer.

  • Patent number: 10078244
    Abstract: A direct-lit type backlight source includes a backplate and a point light source array disposed on the backplate. A light output shape of a first optical lens employed by each of point light sources of corner regions of the point light source array and that of a second optical lens employed by each of a plurality of point light sources of the non-corner region are different. For instance, the light output shape of the first optical lens is symmetrical in a first direction and asymmetrical in a vertical second direction. Moreover, a liquid crystal television adopting the direct-lit type backlight source is provided. The light-output shape of the optical lens adopted by each of the point light sources of the respective corners is designed to illuminate the corners uncovered by light source in the prior art, which can improve optical uniformity of the corners.

  • Patent number: 9765942
    Abstract: A LED lamp and an optical lens thereof are provided. The LED lamp includes a LED light source and an optical lens covering the LED light source. The optical lens includes a dome structure and a protrusion structure. The dome structure has an external surface. The protrusion structure is disposed protruding from the external surface and includes oppositely-disposed first and second side surfaces. The first side surface includes first and second optical surfaces. The second side surface includes a third optical surface. The second optical surface is connected immediately to the external surface and further connected between the external surface and the first optical surface. A boundary line of the second and the first optical surfaces is not disposed at the external surface. The third optical surface and the external surface are immediately connected. Accordingly, local uniformity of light distribution of the optical lens is improved.
