    Abstract: A quantification method and an imaging method are disclosed, capable of quantifying the margin feature, the cysts feature, the calcifications feature, the echoic feature and the heterogenesis feature of a tumor, and capable of imaging the margin feature, the cysts feature, the calcifications feature and the heterogenesis feature of a tumor. The quantification method and the imaging method calculate the moving variance of the gray scale of each of the pixel points based on the gradient value of the gray scale of these pixel points. Then, depending on the purpose of the quantification method or the imaging method, the maximum value, the minimum value, the mean value, and the standard deviation of the moving variance of the gray scale of these pixel points are calculated, respectively. At final, with the definition of the threshold value and the imaging rule, the above features of the tumor are quantified or imaged.

  • Patent number: 8134823
    Abstract: In order to avoid the capacitors in a stacked capacitor structure suiting a miniaturization process from collapsing to cause a short-circuit, separated reinforced structures are used and disposed at the outer-sidewalls of the capacitor, which not only reduces the space occupied by the reinforced structure to increase the surface areas of the upper electrode and the lower electrode of the capacitor, but also allows the capacitor to be deflected but collapse-proof and there are more spaces between the capacitors, so as to solve the filling difficulty problem due to a too small filling space in a successive process of depositing conductive material into the filling space.

  • Patent number: 7999350
    Abstract: After a fabrication process intended to miniaturize semiconductor devices, a surface area of a stack capacitor in a random access memory (RAM) is significantly reduced and capacity thereof is thus decreased, which in turn causes the capacitor not able to function properly. The present invention provides a composite lower electrode structure consisting of an exterior annular pipe and a central pillar having concave-convex surfaces to increase a surface area of the capacitor within a limited memory cell so as to enhance the capacity. To reinforce intensity of a structure of the capacitor, the exterior annular pipe has an elliptic radial cross section and a thicker thickness along a short axis direction.

  • Publication number: 20090184393
    Abstract: The structure strength of a memory capacitor is reduced as the height of the memory capacitor is increased, which results in collapse and a short circuit. This invention provides a capacitor with a special reinforced structure outside, wherein the reinforced structure extends upward from the bottom of the lower electrode of the capacitor to a height, thus reducing the deformation caused by the process loading and supplying sufficient capacitance. In addition, the height of the reinforced structure is adaptable to requirement. Thereby, even when the capacitors are connected with one another because the capacitors collapse, the capacitors are prevented from malfunction. Moreover, the reinforced structures can be connected to one another or not, and thus the structure strength of the capacitor arrays is increased. Besides, the process is simplified and the cost is also reduced.
