  • Publication number: 20130221007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety cap which is screwed onto an upper portion of a container body in which contents are stored so as to open/close the outlet of a container. The safety cap of the present invention is configured such that, when an outer cap rotates in a closing direction, a stopper protrusion of the outer cap is brought into contact with a protrusion of an inner cap and the outer cap and the inner cap rotate together, thus enabling the container to be easily closed and automatically capped during a manufacturing process.

  • Patent number: 8022455
    Abstract: In a method of fabricating a semiconductor device capable of reducing parasitic capacitance between bit lines and a semiconductor device fabricated by the method, the semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having buried contact landing pads and direct contact landing pads. A lower interlayer insulating layer is disposed on the semiconductor substrate. A plurality of parallel bit line patterns are disposed on the lower interlayer insulating layer to fill the direct contact holes. A passivation layer that conformally covers the lower interlayer insulating layer and the bit line patterns is formed. An upper interlayer insulating layer for covering the semiconductor substrate having the passivation layer is formed. Buried contact plugs are disposed in the upper interlayer insulating layer between the bit line patterns and extended to contact the respective buried contact landing pads through the passivation layer and the lower interlayer insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 5837595
    Abstract: Methods of forming field oxide isolation regions in a semiconductor substrate include the steps of exposing residual polysilicon defects contained within preliminary field oxide isolation regions and then performing a cleaning step to etch and reduce the size of the exposed defects (or eliminate the defects altogether). The preliminary field oxide isolation regions are then oxidized to preferably convert any remaining polysilicon defects into silicon dioxide and then a final oxide etching step is performed to define the shapes of the final field oxide isolation regions. Preferably, a pad oxide layer is formed on a face of a semiconductor substrate and then a masking layer is formed on the pad oxide layer, opposite the face of the substrate. The masking layer is then patterned to define an opening therein which exposes an upper surface of the pad oxide layer.
