Patent number: 11942372Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing an integrated chip. The method includes forming a transistor structure over a substrate. The transistor structure comprises a pair of source/drain regions and a gate electrode between the source/drain regions. A lower inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer is formed over the pair of source/drain regions and around the gate electrode. A gate capping layer is formed over the gate electrode. A selective etch and deposition process is performed to form a dielectric protection layer on the gate capping layer while forming a contact opening within the lower ILD layer. A lower source/drain contact is formed within the contact opening.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Kuan-Da Huang, Hao-Heng Liu, Li-Te Lin

Patent number: 9828977Abstract: A system to generate and control a three-dimensional (3D) surface may include a surface supported by a plurality of actuating units, a control center, and a common media tank. The control center may include a movement control assembly that has a plurality of movement control unit, and each movement control unit is configured to control the movement of a corresponding actuating unit. In one embodiment, a predetermined amount of medium, such as air or liquid, is arranged in each actuating unit. The surface can be actually considered an array of small pieces divided from the surface, and supported and actuated by the actuating units. Since the control of the surface is through the control of every single piece thereof, the control of the surface would be more precise if the surface can be divided into more pieces.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Inventor: Li-Da Huang
