  • Publication number: 20230032507
    Abstract: A stationary device with an encrypted file access function and access method thereof are provided. The portable electronic device sends an access request of an electronic confidential file to the stationary device through a proximal connection. The stationary device sends an access request to the cloud server through a remote connection. Then the cloud server gives the corresponding access commands and verification commands to the portable electronic device and the stationary device. After the stationary device verifies that the access command matches the verification command through the proximal connection, the portable electronic device is allowed to access the electronic confidential file. The portable electronic device and the stationary device constantly check whether they are still within a certain distance, so as to restrict the user from accessing the electronic confidential file only in specific areas. Thus, the business secrets and national defense secrets are effectively protected.

  • Publication number: 20220365424
    Abstract: A photomask assembly may be formed such that stress relief trenches are formed in a pellicle frame of the photomask assembly. The stress relief trenches may reduce or prevent damage to a pellicle that may otherwise result from deformation of the pellicle. The stress relief trenches may be formed in areas of the pellicle frame to allow the pellicle frame to deform with the pellicle, thereby reducing the amount damage to the pellicle caused by the pellicle frame.

  • Publication number: 20220365423
    Abstract: A portion of a buffer layer on a backside of a substrate of a photomask assembly may be removed prior to formation of one or more capping layers on the backside of the substrate. The one or more capping layers may be formed directly on the backside of the substrate where the buffer layer is removed from the substrate, and a hard mask layer may be formed directly on the one or more capping layers. The one or more capping layers may include a low-stress material to promote adhesion between the one or more capping layers and the substrate, and to reduce and/or minimize peeling and delamination of the capping layer(s) from the substrate. This may reduce the likelihood of damage to the pellicle layer and/or other components of the photomask assembly and/or may increase the yield of an exposure process in which the photomask assembly is used.
