  • Publication number: 20240071822
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes forming a first interconnect feature in a first dielectric feature, the first interconnect feature including a first conductive element exposed from the first dielectric feature; forming a first cap feature over the first conductive element, the first cap feature including a first cap element which includes a two-dimensional material; forming a second dielectric feature with a first opening that exposes the first cap element; forming a barrier layer over the second dielectric feature while exposing the first cap element from the barrier layer; removing a portion of the first cap element exposed from the barrier layer; and forming a second conductive element in the first opening.

  • Patent number: 11565268
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a convective PCR apparatus by using a transparent conductive thin film to replace the traditional metal heater. The PCR reaction is activated when the container with reagents contacted the heated transparent conductive thin film and the temperature inside the container raised to initiate the convective circulation. Also, the present invention could apply for a quantitative PCR reaction by adding a specific probe, a fluorescent dye, a light source, or a photon receiver.

  • Patent number: 10233509
    Abstract: The present invention disclose a method for detection CPV 2a, 2b, and 2c in a sample by detecting VP2 gene. The signals can be detected by both fluorescent detection system and lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The second object of this present invention is to provide a method to discriminate the wild type from the vaccine type. The first approach to achieve this object is discriminating wild type from vaccine type by SNP 36, which could be used on both fluorescent detection system and lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. The second approach to achieve this object is discriminating wild type from vaccine type by SNP 899 and SNP 963.
