Abstract: Disclosed is a power regulating apparatus, which is connected between an AC power and a load, for supplying the regulated AC power to the load. The power regulating apparatus includes a first regulating means provided to regulate the input AC power source when the AC power is at a normal power level, and a second regulating means provided to transmit an electric power to the load from a power storage means when the AC power is at a power level lower than the normal power level. Thus, the power regulating apparatus is capable of providing the load with an expected high quality electric power in all cases of AC power variation.

Abstract: A method for depositing dielectric material into gaps between wiring lines in the formation of a semiconductor device includes the formation of a cap layer and the formation of gaps into which high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD) dielectric material is deposited. First and second antireflective coatings may be formed on the wiring line layer, the first and second antireflective coatings being made from different materials. Both antireflective coatings and the wiring line layer are etched through to form wiring lines separated by gaps. The gaps between wiring lines may be filled using high density plasma chemical vapor deposition.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor device is disclosed. A semiconductor substrate and a gate structure positioned on the semiconductor substrate are prepared first. A source region and a drain region are included in the semiconductor substrate on two opposite sides of the gate structure. Subsequently, a stressed cap layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and covers the gate structure, the source region and the drain region. Next, an inert gas treatment is performed to change a stress value of the stressed cap layer. Because the stress value of the stressed cap layer can be adjusted easily by means of the present invention, one stressed cap layer can be applied to both the N-type MOS transistor and the P-type MOS transistor.

Abstract: An improved dual damascene structure is provided for use in the wiring-line structures of multi-level interconnects in integrated circuit. In this dual damascene structure, low-K (low dielectric constant) dielectric materials are used to form both the di-electric layers and the etch-stop layers between the metal interconnects in the IC device. With this feature, the dual damascene structure can prevent high parasite capacitance to occur therein that would otherwise cause large RC delay to the signals being transmitted through the metal interconnects and thus degrade the performance of the IC device. With the dual damascene structure, such parasite capacitance can be reduced, thus assuring the performance of the IC device.
