  • Publication number: 20190164977
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a buried word line structure includes providing a substrate with a word line trench therein. Two source/drain doped regions are disposed in the substrate at two sides of the word line trench. Later, a silicon oxide layer is formed to cover the word line trench. A titanium nitride layer is formed to cover the silicon oxide layer. Next, a tilt ion implantation process is performed to implant silicon atoms into the titanium nitride layer to transform part of the titanium nitride layer into a titanium silicon nitride layer. A conductive layer is formed in the word line trench. Subsequently, part of the conductive layer, part of the titanium silicon nitride layer and part of the silicon oxide layer are removed to form a recess. Finally, a cap layer fills in the recess.

    Abstract: A mounting device and a method for mounting an object on a circuit board are provided. The mounting device has an abutting portion and at least one pin. The mounting method includes disposing multiple the mounting devices on the circuit board, passing pins of each mounting device through multiple plated holes of the circuit board and soldering the pins in the plated holes, making through holes of the object go through the mounting devices, bending the abutting portion to abut an edge of an opening of the through holes of the object, and thereby mounting the object on the circuit board via the multiple mounting devices as well as grounding the object. Since the mounting device is firmly mounted on the circuit board by soldering; it is easy to assembly because the mounting device is soldered by a solder oven.
