  • Patent number: 9054051
    Abstract: In a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, a target layer and a first material layer are sequentially formed on a substrate. A plurality of second material layer patterns are formed on the first material layer, the second material layer patterns extending in a first horizontal direction. A plurality of hardmask patterns extending in a second horizontal direction are formed on the plurality of second material layer patterns and the first material layer, wherein the second horizontal direction is different from the first horizontal direction. A first material layer pattern is formed by etching the first material layer using the plurality of hardmask patterns and the plurality of second material layer patterns as etch masks. A target layer pattern with a plurality of holes is formed by etching the target layer using the first material layer pattern as an etch mask.

  • Patent number: 9003587
    Abstract: Disclosed is a drum type washing machine having a touch up function and a method for touching up thereof. The drum type washing machine having the touch up function is provided with a touch up button for removing wrinkles on laundry left in the drum type washing machine and a method for touching up. Accordingly, it is not required for a user to additionally execute rinsing and dehydrating processes, or ironing so as to remove wrinkles on the laundry, thus it is convenient. And, since it is not required to additionally execute the rinsing and dehydrating processes, it is capable of preventing unwanted consumption of water and electricity.
