  • STRESS DETECTION SYSTEM ON SMALL AREAS AND METHOD THEREOF
    Publication number: 20150043610
    Abstract: A system and a method for stress detection on small areas are disclosed. The method is applied to a strain gauge, which uses the Joule heating effect-generated temperature difference to monitor and to localize compressive and tensile strains. Furthermore, the invention provides a systematic extrapolation prediction methodology for strains.

  • METHOD FOR SHRINKING LINEWIDTH OF EXTREME DIMENSION
    Publication number: 20130213817
    Abstract: A method for shrinking a linewidth on a substrate includes the steps of applying a stretching force on the substrate, defining a line on a top surface of the substrate and releasing the applied stretching force. The applied force is executed by mechanical stretching or thermal expansion and has a direction parallel to the line.
