  • Patent number: 11955441
    Abstract: An interconnect structure comprises a first dielectric layer, a first metal layer, a second dielectric layer, a metal via, and a second metal layer. The first dielectric layer is over a substrate. The first metal layer is over the first dielectric layer. The first metal layer comprises a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion. The second dielectric layer is over the first metal layer. The metal via has an upper portion in the second dielectric layer, a middle portion between the first and second portions of the first metal layer, and a lower portion in the first dielectric layer. The second metal layer is over the metal via. From a top view the second metal layer comprises a metal line having longitudinal sides respectively set back from opposite sides of the first portion of the first metal layer.

  • Patent number: 6711663
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an algorithm of flash memory capable of quickly building a mapping table and preventing disorder of data due to abnormal disconnection and a control system thereof, wherein pages of a physical block store data of the mapping table of logical block addresses and corresponding physical block addresses. A set of ECC data are used for protection. When the host computer is normally turned on, data of the mapping table are directly stored into a buffer so that the control device can read. The system can quickly build the mapping table to save the time and operation of turning on without the need of a scanning procedure. If an error of the mapping table due to improper operation occurs, the previous mapping table can be retraced to restore the system to the normal state.
