Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for forming a semiconductor structure, the method includes forming a buffer layer over a substrate. An active layer is formed on the buffer layer. A top electrode is formed on the active layer. An etch process is performed on the buffer layer and the substrate to define a plurality of pillar structures. The plurality of pillar structures include a first pillar structure laterally offset from a second pillar structure. At least portions of the first and second pillar structures are spaced laterally between sidewalls of the top electrode.

Abstract: Photolithography overlay errors are a source of patterning defects, which contribute to low wafer yield. An interconnect formation process that employs a patterning photolithography/etch process with self-aligned interconnects is disclosed herein. The interconnection formation process, among other things, improves a photolithography overlay (OVL) margin since alignment is accomplished on a wider pattern. In addition, the patterning photolithography/etch process supports multi-metal gap fill and low-k dielectric formation with voids.

Abstract: A field surveying and regulating method applied on at least one monitoring electronic device enables at least one manager to add at least one project and at least one specific location (spot) for obtaining soil samples and to edit the at least one project and the at least one spot on an online map. The method allows the manager to assign at least one soil drill and at least one drill operator for each project and each spot. The method enables the manager to view information as to position of each soil drill, depth for sampling by each soil drill, sampling time spent, actual work done by each soil drill, and photos of work by each soil drill in sampling. A related field surveying and regulating system is also disclosed.
