  • Publication number: 20240136383
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a single-layered dielectric layer, a conductive line, a conductive via and a conductive pad. The conductive line and the conductive via are disposed in the single-layered dielectric layer. The conductive pad is extended into the single-layered dielectric layer to electrically connected to the conductive line.

  • Patent number: 11955312
    Abstract: A physical analysis method, a sample for physical analysis and a preparing method thereof are provided. The preparing method of the sample for physical analysis includes: providing a sample to be inspected; and forming a contrast enhancement layer on a surface of the sample to be inspected. The contrast enhancement layer includes a plurality of first material layers and a plurality of second material layers stacked upon one another. The first material layer and the second material layer are made of different materials. Each one of the first and second material layers has a thickness that does not exceed 0.1 nm. In an image captured by an electron microscope, a difference between an average grayscale value of a surface layer image of the sample to be inspected and an average grayscale value of an image of the contrast enhancement layer is at least 50.

  • Patent number: 11946945
    Abstract: A sample analyzing method and a sample preparing method are provided. The sample analyzing method includes a sample preparing step, a placing step, and an analyzing step. The sample preparing step includes an obtaining step implemented by obtaining an identification information; and a marking and placing step implemented by placing a sample carrying component having a sample disposed thereon into a marking equipment, allowing the marking equipment to utilize the identification information to form an identification structure on the sample carrying component, and placing the sample carrying component into one of the accommodating slots according to the identification information. The placing step is implemented by taking out the sample carrying component from one of the accommodating slots and placing the sample carrying component into an electron microscope equipment. The analyzing step is implemented by utilizing the electron microscope equipment to photograph the sample to generate an analyzation image.

  • Publication number: 20110089172
    Abstract: A double-layer container including a main body having a first section and a second section. The first section has an opening and a bottom portion. An upper section of the main body is outward folded back to form the second section, whereby the second section extends from a top end of the first section. The second section has a free end extending to a position outside the first section above the bottom portion thereof. A first space is defined between the first section and second section. The first section is not totally enclosed in the second section so that the double-layer container can be more easily made of less material to lower manufacturing cost. By means of the double-layer design, when containing a cold/hot liquid, a user's hand can hold the double-layer container without touch the first section so that the user's hand is protected from being damped or burnt.
