  • Publication number: 20150236158
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device, and a semiconductor device made with the method are described. In the method, a cavity is formed in a substrate, a first epitaxy process is performed under a pressure higher than 65 torr to form a buffer layer in the cavity, and a second epitaxy process is performed to form a semiconductor compound layer on the buffer layer in the cavity. In the semiconductor device, the ratio (S/Y) of the thickness S of the buffer layer on a lower sidewall of the cavity to the thickness Y of the buffer layer at the bottom of the cavity ranges from 0.6 to 0.8.

  • Patent number: 9034705
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. At least one gate structure is provided on a substrate, wherein the gate structure includes a first spacer formed on a sidewall of a gate. A first disposable spacer material layer is deposited on the substrate covering the gate structure. The first disposable spacer material layer is etched to form a first disposable spacer on the first spacer. A second disposable spacer material layer is deposited on the substrate covering the gate structure. The second disposable spacer material layer is etched to form a second disposable spacer on the first disposable spacer. A portion of the substrate is removed, by using the first and second disposable spacers as a mask, so as to form two recesses in the substrate beside the gate structure. A stress-inducing layer is formed in the recesses.

  • Patent number: 8805154
    Abstract: An organizing device is for organizing multiple optical fiber lines to run parallel to each other on a plane. The organizing device includes a guiding unit and a positioning unit. The positioning unit includes a main body slidably disposed on the guiding unit, a first positioning part extending from the main body, and a second positioning part that extends from the main body in a same direction as the first positioning part and that is spaced apart from the first positioning part. The main body, the first positioning part and the second positioning part cooperate to define a positioning slot. The distance between the first and second positioning parts corresponds to a diameter of the optical fiber lines.
