  • Patent number: 8211805
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for forming a via. A first dielectric layer is formed on a substrate. A conductive structure is formed in the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is formed on the first dielectric layer and conductive structure. A first etching step is performed by using a first etching mixture to form a first via in the second dielectric layer. A second etching step is performed by using a second etching mixture to form a second via under the first via. The second via exposes at least a top surface of the conductive structure. An etching rate of the second etching step is slower than the first etching step.

  • Patent number: 8211774
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor structure. A substrate is provided. A conductive layer is formed on the substrate. A first patterned mask layer is formed on the conductive layer. The conductive layer exposed by the first patterned mask layer is removed to expose a first sidewall of the conductive layer. A doped region is formed in the substrate by a doping step using the first patterned mask layer as a mask. The first patterned mask layer is removed. A second patterned mask layer is formed on the conductive layer. The conductive layer exposed by the second patterned mask layer is removed to expose a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall of the conductive layer. The second patterned mask layer is removed.

  • Patent number: 7745343
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device with a fuse element includes providing a semiconductor structure with a fuse element formed over a first device region thereof. A first interlayer dielectric layer, an etching stop layer and a second interlayer dielectric layer are sequentially formed. A bond pad is formed over the second interlayer dielectric layer in a second device region of the semiconductor structure. A passivation layer is formed over the bond pad and the second interlayer dielectric layer. A first etching process is performed to form a first opening in the first device region and a second opening in the second device region, wherein the first opening exposes a portion of the second interlayer dielectric layer over the fuse element and, and the second opening partially exposes a portion of the bond pad. A second etching process and a third etching process are performed to leave another passivation layer conformably covering the fuse element and the semiconductor structure adjacent thereto.

  • Patent number: 7300231
    Abstract: A cutting tool carrying device includes a carrying member having one or more compartments formed in an outer peripheral portion each for receiving a base member, and a follower slidably engaged into each of the base members for supporting a cutting member. An adjusting device may adjust the follower relative to the base member to partially extend the cutting member out of the outer peripheral portion of the carrying member for suitably machining the work pieces. A pressing device may be slidably attached to the base member for forcing the cutting member to the base member and for allowing the cutting member to be adjusted relative to the base member and the carrying member to the suitable positions.
