  • Patent number: 8202784
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having high aspect ratio isolation trenches and a method for manufacturing the same is presented. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first insulation layer, and a second insulation layer. The semiconductor substrate has a second trench that is wider than a first trench. The first insulation layer is partially formed within the wider second trench in which the first insulation layer when formed clogs the opening of the narrower first trench. A cleaning of the first insulation layer unclogs the opening of the narrower first trench in which a second insulation layer can then be formed within both the first and second trenches.

  • Publication number: 20110300407
    Abstract: Provided are a coated steel sheet, a hot press formed product using the steel sheet, and a producing method thereof. Conditions for hot-dip coating bath are optimized when an aluminum-coated steel sheet is produced using a hot rolled steel sheet or a cold rolled steel sheet, and processes are controlled during production of a hot press formed product from the steel sheet, thereby forming a coating layer having a high ratio of (Fe3Al+FeAl) compound layer on the surface of the steel sheet. In cases where the (Fe3Al+FeAl) compound layer has an appropriate occupancy ratio with respect to the whole thickness of the coating layer, good resistance against crack and corrosion can be achieved to improve a local corrosion resistance of the hot press formed product, particularly, a pitting corrosion resistance. Therefore, high-quality hot press formed products can be produced with high productivity and lower costs.
