Abstract: The present invention relates to a porcine bivalent subunit vaccine composition in a single dose. The porcine bivalent subunit vaccine composition includes porcine bivalent antigen, CpG adjuvant and a dual phase adjuvant. The porcine bivalent antigen consists of a classical swine fever virus (CSFV)-E2 recombinant protein and a porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-ORF2 recombinant protein, both of which are produced by a mammalian cell expression system. The porcine bivalent subunit vaccine composition in a single dose can confer effectively immune protection against CSFV and PCV2 via a single vaccination without boost vaccination.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes depositing a mask layer over a substrate. The method includes etching the substrate to define a first opening. The method includes depositing a sacrificial material in the first opening. The method includes depositing a dielectric liner along sidewalls of the first opening, wherein a bottom surface of the dielectric liner contacts the sacrificial material. The method includes removing the sacrificial material. The method includes etching the substrate to enlarge the first opening to define a second opening. The second opening includes a first portion extending a first depth from the dielectric material in a first direction perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate, and a second portion extending in a second direction, parallel to the top surface of the substrate. The method includes removing the dielectric liner. The method includes filling the second opening with a dielectric material.

Abstract: A method for patterning a substrate includes forming a material layer on the substrate; performing a first etching on the material layer to form a pattern; measuring the pattern of the material layer using an optical spectrum metrology tool; determining whether the measuring indicates that the etching step achieved a predefined result; and producing an etching recipe and performing a second etching of the material layer using the etching recipe if the predefined result was not achieved.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for monitoring a dimensional change of a pattern for an object having a transparent layer exposed through the pattern and a non-transparent pattern laminated therewith. According to the method, a first beam is projected to the pattern. A second beam resulted from the first beam passing through the transparent layer exposed by the pattern, or from the first beam reflected from the non-transparent layer of the pattern, is detected. A value of a predetermined property from the second beam detected is obtained. A variation of the value is monitored for identifying the dimensional change of the pattern.
