Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an ultraviolet light-blocking composition containing a centipede grass extract and a cosmetic composition and, more specifically, to an ultraviolet light-blocking composition comprising a centipede grass (Eremochloa ophiuroides) leaf extract as an active ingredient; and a cosmetic composition containing the ultraviolet light-blocking composition.

Abstract: A multilayer capacitor includes a body including a multilayer structure in which a plurality of dielectric layers are stacked in a first direction and a plurality of internal electrodes stacked with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween and external electrodes formed outside the body and connected to the internal electrodes. The body includes an active portion and a side margin portion covering the active portion and opposing each other in a second direction, and 1<A2/M1?1.5 and A2<A1 in which A1 is an average grain size of the dielectric layers in a central region of the active portion, A2 is an average grain size of the dielectric layers at an active boundary part of the active portion adjacent to the side margin portion, and M1 is an average grain size of the dielectric layers in a central region of the side margin portion.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a resist pattern on a first region on a substrate, bringing a descum solution including an acid source into contact with the resist pattern and with a second region of the substrate, decomposing resist residues remaining on the second region of the substrate by using acid obtained from the acid source in the descum solution and removing the decomposed resist residues and the descum solution from the substrate.

Abstract: In a method of fabricating patterns in an integrated circuit device, first mask patterns, sacrificial patterns, and second mask patterns are formed on a target layer such that the sacrificial patterns are provided between sidewalls of adjacent ones of the first and second mask patterns. The sacrificial patterns between the sidewalls of the adjacent ones of the first and second mask patterns are selectively removed using a dry etch-back process, and the target layer is patterned using the first and second mask patterns as a mask.
