  • Publication number: 20240126002
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a light source, a first prism sheet disposed on the light source, and a light type adjustment sheet disposed on a side of the first prism sheet away from the light source and including a base and multiple light type adjustment structures. The multiple light type adjustment structures are disposed on the first surface of the base. Each light type adjustment structure has a first structure surface and a second structure surface connected to each other. The first structure surface of each light type adjustment structure and the first surface of the base form a first base angle therebetween, and the second structure surface of each light type adjustment structure and the first surface of the base form a second base angle therebetween. The angle of the first base angle is different from the angle of the second base angle.

  • Publication number: 20230245865
    Abstract: A processing chamber includes a grid and a first disk. The grid includes a plurality of holes arranged in the processing chamber. The grid partitions the processing chamber into a first chamber in which plasma is generated and a second chamber in which a pedestal is configured to support a substrate. The first disk is arranged in the second chamber. The first disk is movable between the grid and the substrate when supported on the pedestal.

  • Patent number: 9466502
    Abstract: A method for forming lines in an etch layer on a substrate may comprise providing a ultra-violet (UV) producing gas to a vacuum chamber having a photoresist mask, ionizing the UV producing gas to produce UV rays to irradiate the photoresist mask, and etching the lines into the etch layer through the photoresist mask.

  • Publication number: 20060040415
    Abstract: An in situ dual-stage etch endpoint detection system is disclosed. The system includes an etch chamber, an interferometry endpoint monitoring system, and a non-IEP endpoint monitoring system. The etch chamber includes an electrostatic chuck (ESC), a top electrode, and a bottom electrode. The ESC is designed to support a wafer having a spacer layer formed over a gate structure. The interferometry endpoint (IEP) monitoring system is designed to monitor an interference photon beam reflected by the top of spacer layer and the reflection beam on interface of bottom of spacer during a first etch operation. The non-IEP endpoint monitoring system monitors a second etch operation by monitoring an etch time. A first etch operation implementing the IEP monitoring system is discontinued, leaving a thin spacer layer to be etched during the second etch operation.

  • Patent number: 6977184
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a spacer of a gate structure is provided. The method performing a first etch process implementing a first etchant gas. The first etch process is configured to implement an interferometry endpoint (IEP) detection method to detect a removal of a portion of a spacer layer having a specific thickness from over the surface of the substrate, thus leaving a thin spacer layer. The method further includes performing a second etch process for a predetermined period of time implementing a second etchant gas. The second etch process is configured to remove the thin spacer layer, leaving the spacer for the gate structure.
