  • Publication number: 20240349493
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor memory device includes the following steps. First of all, a substrate is provided, and a plurality of gates is formed in the substrate, along a first direction. Next, a semiconductor layer is formed on the substrate, covering the gates, and a plug is then in the semiconductor layer, between two of the gates. Then, a deposition process is performed to from a stacked structure on the semiconductor layer. Finally, the stacked structure is patterned to form a plurality of bit lines, with one of the bit lines directly in contact with the plug.

  • Patent number: 10815724
    Abstract: A double-layer Roman shade folding structure includes a bracket. The bracket is provided with an outer curtain fabric, a roller tube, and an inner curtain fabric. The outer curtain fabric is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped limiting members that are arranged horizontally and spaced apart at equal intervals. An opening is defined between the limiting members and the outer curtain fabric for the inner curtain fabric to pass therethrough. When the bottom end of the inner curtain fabric drives the bottom end of the outer curtain fabric to be moved up, the plurality of limiting members are pushed and moved up in sequence so that the outer curtain fabric is folded and overlapped continuously.
