Abstract: A photo resist layer is used to protect a dielectric layer and conductive elements embedded in the dielectric layer when patterning an etch stop layer underlying the dielectric layer. The photo resist layer may further be used to etch another dielectric layer underlying the etch stop layer, where etching the next dielectric layer exposes a contact, such as a gate contact. The bottom layer can be used to protect the conductive elements embedded in the dielectric layer from a wet etchant used to etch the etch stop layer.

Abstract: A heat spreader comprising a casing, a micro-structure layer, a support device, and a working fluid is provided. The casing has an inner surface and is defined by a sealed chamber where the working fluid circulates therein. The micro-structure layer is formed on the inner surface of the casing, wherein the micro-structure layer comprises a first structure layer which is formed by the first metallic mesh.

In addition, the support device is disposed in the sealed chamber for supporting the casing. Thus, a heat spreader with a composite micro-structure can not only enhance the capillarity but also reduce the flowing resistance during operation.
