    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes dividing a number of dies along an x axis in a die matrix in each exposure field in an exposure field matrix delineated on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the x axis is parallel to one edge of a smallest rectangle enclosing the exposure field matrix. A number of dies is divided along a y axis in the die matrix, wherein the y axis is perpendicular to the x axis. Sequences SNx0, SNx1, SNx, SNxr, SNy0, SNy1, SNy, and SNyr are formed. p*(Nbx+1)?2 stepping operations are performed in a third direction and first sequence exposure/stepping/exposure operations and second sequence exposure/stepping/exposure operations are performed alternately between any two adjacent stepping operations as well as before a first stepping operation and after a last stepping operation. A distance of each stepping operation in order follows the sequence SNx.

  • Publication number: 20250151306
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes etch selectivity tuning to enlarge epitaxy process windows. Through modification of etching processes and careful selection of materials, improvements in semiconductor device yield and performance can be delivered. Etch selectivity is controlled by using dilute gas, using assistive etch chemicals, controlling a magnitude of bias power used in the etching process, and controlling an amount of passivation gas used in the etching process, among other approaches. A recess is formed in a dummy fin in a region of the semiconductor where epitaxial growth occurs to further enlarge the epitaxy process window.

The SERS nano-particle are formed by core magnetic particles, noble metal nano-particles, Raman signal molecules, hydrophilic molecules and target molecules. A method for distinguishing CTCs from WBCs comprises: enabling a SERS nano-particle to make contact with a to-be-detected solution containing CTCs and/or WBCs; performing incubation; then detecting SERS signal intensity of a cell combined with the SERS nano-particle; setting SERS signal intensity threshold; if SERS signal intensity of the cell combined with the SERS nano-particle exceeds SERS signal intensity threshold, determining the cell as CTS; otherwise, determining the cell as WBC. A ROC curve is used for the first time to assist the SERS technique in distinguishing CTCs from WBCs.
