  • Publication number: 20250169079
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure. A memory structure is formed on a substrate in the memory array region. A dielectric layer is deposited over the memory array region and peripheral region to cover the memory structure. A reverse etching process is performed to remove part of the dielectric layer from the central area of the memory array region, thereby forming an upwardly protruding wall structure along perimeter of the memory array region. The remaining thickness of the dielectric layer in the central area is equal to the sum of a polishing buffer thickness and a target thickness. A first polishing process is performed to remove the upwardly protruding wall structure from the memory array region. A second polishing process is performed to remove upper portion of the dielectric layer with the polishing buffer thickness from the memory array region.

  • Patent number: 11414991
    Abstract: Provided are a system and a method for monitoring bearing compression rate of a filler in a coal mine gob area. An ground information processing system, a vibration source control system, and a monitoring system are arranged on the ground according to a buried depth of the filler in the gob area. The vibration source control system generates vibration, and transmits a signal to the filler. The monitoring system on the ground receives different reflected waves according to different elasticities of the fillers under different compaction degrees. Final data is transmitted to the ground information processing system for data processing. The monitoring of the filler starts when the filler is filled in the gob area; the filler is gradually compacted. The filler is monitored until the thickness of the filler does not change. Finally, a bearing compression rate formula is utilized to calculate the bearing compression rate of the filler.

  • Patent number: 11391151
    Abstract: An automatic coal mining machine and a fluidized coal mining method are provided. A first excavation cabin is configured to cut coal seam to obtain raw coal and to be transported to a first coal preparation cabin for separating coal blocks from gangue. Then, the obtained coal blocks are transported to a first fluidized conversion reaction cabin. The first fluidized conversion reaction cabin converts the energy form of the coal block into liquid, gas or electric energy, which is transported to a first energy storage cabin for storing. Coal mining and conversion are carried out in underground coal mines, so it is not necessary to raise coal blocks to the ground for washing and conversion, thereby reducing the transportation cost of coal, improving the utilization degree of coal, and avoiding the pollution of the ground environment caused by waste in the mining and conversion process.

  • Patent number: 11391661
    Abstract: An experiment system and transparent experiment method for replicating fluid displacement in a pore structure of a natural rock mass are provided. The natural pore structure is extracted and a digital porous model corresponding to the natural rock mass is reconstructed with the image processing method. Based on the digital porous model, a three-dimensional pore structure model with a transparent and visible internal structure is printed by a 3D printing device, such that the pore space inside the three-dimensional pore structure model is visible. In this way, the whole fluid flow during the displacement-seepage process within the natural rock mass can be replicated and visually observed from the outside when performing the displacement-seepage experiment. Further, temperature, flow rate, and pressure can be accurately controlled, to replicate various experiment conditions, so as to perform quantitative analysis on distribution features of a seepage field and a fluid speed field.

  • Publication number: 20220084878
    Abstract: A fabricating method of transistors includes providing a substrate with numerous transistors thereon. Each of the transistors includes a gate structure. A gap is disposed between gate structures adjacent to each other. Later, a protective layer and a first dielectric layer are formed in sequence to cover the substrate and the transistors and to fill in the gap. Next, numerous buffering particles are formed to contact the first dielectric layer. The buffering particles do not contact each other. Subsequently, a second dielectric layer is formed to cover the buffering particles. After that, a first planarization process is performed to remove part of the first dielectric layer, part of the second dielectric layer and buffering particles by taking the protective layer as a stop layer, wherein a removing rate of the second dielectric layer is greater than a removing rate of the buffering particles during the first planarization process.

  • Patent number: 11261732
    Abstract: A mining machine applicable to fluidized mining and a mining method therefor are provided herein. A microwave transmitting mechanism, a liquid jet drill rod and a cutter-head are arranged at the head of a first excavation device of the mining machine. The ore body in front is first processed by the microwave transmitting mechanism and the liquid jet drill rod to reduce the strength of the ore body, which facilitates subsequent mining of the ore body, lowers the hardness requirements of the cutter-head, and reduces the wearing of the cutter-head. With this mining machine mining the ore body, the mined ores can be directly converted, under the ground, into resources in the easily transportable form, without transporting the ore to the surface for conversion, which saves the cost of transporting the ore to the surface.
