Patent number: 7906396Abstract: In a method of fabricating a flash memory, a substrate with isolation structures formed therein and a dielectric layer and a floating gate formed thereon between isolation structures is provided. A mask layer is formed on the substrate, covering the isolation structures in a periphery region and the isolation structure in a cell region adjacent to the periphery region. The isolation structures in the cell region not covered by the mask layer are partially removed. Therefore, a first height difference is between surfaces of the isolation structures in the periphery region and a surface of the dielectric layer, and between a surface of the isolation structure in the cell region adjacent to the periphery region and the surface of the dielectric layer. A second height difference smaller than the first height difference is between surfaces of other isolation structures in the cell region and the surface of the dielectric layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2009Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Winbond Electronics Corp.Inventors: Lu-Ping Chiang, Hsiu-Han Liao

Publication number: 20080261227Abstract: Provided is a kinetic PCR (“kPCR”) assay for determining gene copy number of a target gene located on chromosome 17. The kPCR assay uses the MMP-28 gene located at the 17q11.2-17q12 loci as a control and thus, is capable of detecting gene copy number of any gene on chromosome 17 in both singleplex and multiplex format without the need for a standard curve. The kPCR assay is useful for determining the gene copy number of the HER2/neu gene located at loci 17q12-17q21.32, which is a requirement for determining if a breast cancer patient is a candidate for anti-HER2/neu gene therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2006Publication date: October 23, 2008Applicant: SIEMENS HEALTHCARE DIAGNOSTICS INC.Inventors: Lu Ping Shen, Marc Munnes, Ralph Markus Wirtz, Daryn Kenny, Charlene E.
