Patents by Inventor Ting-Hsuan Kang

Ting-Hsuan Kang 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: 10629734
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a fin structure with tensile stress includes providing a structure divided into an N-type transistor region and a P-type transistor region. Next, two first trenches and two second trenches are formed in the substrate. The first trenches define a fin structure. The second trenches segment the first trenches and the fin. Later, a flowable chemical vapor deposition is performed to form a silicon oxide layer filling the first trenches and the second trenches. Then, a patterned mask is formed only within the N-type transistor region. The patterned mask only covers the silicon oxide layer in the second trenches. Subsequently, part of the silicon oxide layer is removed to make the exposed silicon oxide layer lower than the top surface of the fin structure by taking the patterned mask as a mask. Finally, the patterned mask is removed.

  • Publication number: 20180358453
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a tunneling effect transistor (TFET), the method includes: a substrate is provided, having a fin structure disposed thereon, the fin structure includes a first conductive type, a dielectric layer is then formed on the substrate and on the fin structure, a gate trench is formed in the dielectric layer, and a first work function metal layer is formed in the gate trench, the first work function metal layer defines at least a left portion, a right portion and a central portion, an etching process is performed to remove the central portion of the first work function metal layer, and to form a recess between the left portion and the right portion of the first work function metal layer, afterwards, a second work function metal layer is formed and filled in the recess.
