  • Publication number: 20250087533
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes: forming a via in a first dielectric layer disposed over a substrate; forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer; forming an opening in the second dielectric layer, where the opening exposes an upper surface of the via; selectively forming a capping layer over the upper surface of the via, where the capping layer has a curved upper surface that extends above a first upper surface of the first dielectric layer distal from the substrate; after forming the capping layer, forming a barrier layer in the opening over the capping layer and along sidewalls of the second dielectric layer exposed by the opening; and filling the opening by forming an electrically conductive material over the barrier layer.

  • Patent number: 12182365
    Abstract: A mobile device and a switching method of input method thereof are provided. The mobile device includes a general camera module, a specific camera module, a barcode-decoding module, a touch display module, and a control module. The touch display module is configured to display a display frame which has an input field. The control module is configured to activate a trigger element of an image conversion input method in response to an input trigger event of the input field. The control module is configured to control the touch display module to display the input field and a first overlapping window which has a virtual keyboard of a system default input method on the display frame at the same time. The control module is configured to control the touch display module to switch the first overlapping window to a second overlapping window in response to a first trigger event.

  • Publication number: 20240411447
    Abstract: A mobile device and operating method of input method thereof is related to the mobile device, which includes a general camera module, a specific camera module, a barcode-decoding module, a touch display module, and a control module. The barcode-decoding module is configured to capture one or more barcode patterns through the specific camera module and convert each of the barcode patterns into one or more first string. The touch display module is configured to display a display frame having an input field. The control module is configured to activate a virtual keyboard window of a system default input method and a trigger element of an image conversion input method in response to an input trigger event and control the touch display module to display an overlapping window of the image conversion input method on the display frame overlappingly in response to a first trigger event.

  • Patent number: 10978269
    Abstract: A sample chip for electron microscope includes a first substrate having a film layer, a buffer layer, and a body layer, a spacing layer positioned below the first substrate, and a second substrate positioned below the spacing layer. The buffer layer is positioned on the film layer and has a buffer opening corresponding to an area of the film layer, the body layer is positioned on the buffer layer and has a body opening corresponding to the buffer opening of the buffer layer to expose the area of the film layer corresponding to the buffer opening, the body layer has a thickness of 10 ?m-800 ?m, and etching properties of the film layer, the buffer layer, and the body layer are different. A specimen accommodating space is defined in the spacing layer to correspond to the area of the film layer corresponding to the buffer opening.

  • Patent number: 10685852
    Abstract: A chip packaging device is provided, which includes a main body unit, packaging unit and an aligning unit. The main body unit includes a mounting base, holder and a rotational platform. The packaging unit includes upper and lower bonding elements, upper and lower chips and a mask; a vertical axis is at the middle of the upper and the lower bonding elements, and a horizontal axis is above the lower bonding element. The aligning unit includes an aligning detector and a first focusing detector. When the lower chip and the mask are disposed on the lower bonding element, place the liquid sample in the mask and spread a packaging adhesive over the surface thereof; then, remove the mask and use the aligning detector and the first focusing detector to detect the position of the lower chip respectively, such that the chips can be aligned and bonded with each other.
