  • Publication number: 20250236514
    Abstract: In a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) structure, at least one chemical stop structure is formed to reduce inadvertent etching of adhesion layers. A first adhesion layer and a second adhesion layer are separated by a primary dielectric layer. The primary dielectric layer includes a recess that forms a stair. The second adhesion layer includes an annular opening, and a protective material covers the sides of the second adhesion layer in the annular opening. A base plate layer covers the second adhesion layer and fills the recess and the annular opening. An annular via passes through the base plate layer and the protective material down to the primary dielectric layer. The protective material and the base plate layer each act as chemical stop structures that separate the first adhesion layer from the second adhesion layer.

  • Publication number: 20230014210
    Abstract: An adjustable wrench is disclosed. The adjustable wrench is used for an assembly part. The adjustable wrench includes a frame, an adjustable member, and an engaging element. The adjustable member is adjacent to the frame to form a space between an inner side of the frame, wherein the adjustable member further has a rack. The engaging element is adjacent to the adjustable member and has an engaging portion that meshes with the rack such that, after the adjustable member slides, a position of the engaging portion meshed with the rack is changed so as to change the size of the space; thus, the space can be adjusted to match assembly parts of different specifications.
