  • Publication number: 20150147880
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and methods of formation are provided. A semiconductor device includes an annealed cobalt plug over a silicide in a first opening of the semiconductor device, wherein the annealed cobalt plug has a repaired lattice structure. The annealed cobalt plug is formed by annealing a cobalt plug at a first temperature for a first duration, while exposing the cobalt plug to a first gas. The repaired lattice structure of the annealed cobalt plug is more regular or homogenized as compared to a cobalt plug that is not so annealed, such that the annealed cobalt plug has a relatively increased conductivity or reduced resistivity.

    Abstract: A waterproof zoom binocular telescope includes a left lens barrel, a right lens barrel, an ocular base disposed at an end of each lens barrel, and a synchronous belt sprocket disposed at the connecting position of the two ocular bases. Each ocular base includes an ocular module, and the two ocular modules separately include a zoom unit. Each zoom unit and the synchronous belt sprocket are connected with a synchronous belt to form a transmission chain structure. An eccentric cam is installed between two external common tangents of each ocular module and the synchronous belt sprocket for tightly pressing the two synchronous belts. If any one of the zoom units rotates, the transmission chain structure effectively drives the synchronous belt to rotate another zoom unit correspondingly.
