  • Patent number: 8030203
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming a metal line of a semiconductor device includes a first insulating layer formed over a semiconductor substrate an etch-stop layer formed over the first insulating layer, contact holes formed by etching the etch-stop layer and the first insulating layer, Contact plugs formed within the contact holes and a second insulating layer formed over the contact plugs and the etch-stop layer. The second insulating layer is etched in order to form trenches through which the contact plugs are exposed. Metal lines are formed within the trenches. Accordingly, since a hard mask with a high dielectric constant does not remain between the metal lines, the capacitance of the metal lines can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7617540
    Abstract: A method for managing downloads of contents. This method provides for a replay memory that stores a globally unique right object identifier (GUID) and a right issuer timestamp (RITS). A duplication memory is used to store a right object (RO) in downloading a duplicate of content that is already stored in the replay memory. When a right issuer timestamp (RITS) included in the right object (RO) of the currently received content is less than the current time plus the set threshold value, and the globally unique right object identifier (GUID) and the right issuer timestamp (RITS) of the received right object (RO) are already stored in the replay memory, the received right object (RO) is separately stored in the duplication memory in association with the globally unique right object identifier (GUID).
