Patents by Inventor Sung-Man LIM

Sung-Man LIM has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9087842
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a fuse area and a device area; a fuse structure in an insulating layer of the fuse area, and a wire structure in the insulating layer of the device area. The fuse structure includes a fuse via, a fuse line electrically connected to a top end of the fuse via pattern and extending in a direction. The wire structure includes a wire via, a wire line electrically connected to a top end of the wire via and extending in the first direction. A width in the first direction of the fuse via is smaller than a width in the first direction of the wire via.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 13, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 21, 2015

  • Patent number: 8753945
    Abstract: In a method of forming MOS transistor, a gate structure is formed on a substrate and a first spacer layer is formed on the substrate conformal to the gate structure. A second spacer layer is formed on the first spacer layer. A second spacer is formed on the first spacer layer corresponding to a sidewall of the gate structure by partially removing the second spacer layer from the first spacer layer. Impurities are implanted in the substrate by an ion implantation process using the gate structure including the first spacer layer and the second spacer as an ion implantation mask to form source/drain extension regions at surface portions of the substrate around the gate structure.
