  • Patent number: 7188972
    Abstract: A lamp includes several internal light emitting diodes, several first planoconvex lenses positioned over respective ones of light emitting ends of the light emitting diodes, and a second planoconvex lens; the second planoconvex lens is positioned over the first planoconvex lenses such that light emitted from the light emitting diodes will travel through the second planoconvex lens after passing through the first planoconvex lenses; because of focusing effect of the first and the second planoconvex lenses, light emitted from the light emitting diodes will become brighter, and the lamp will shine uniformly, and there will not be undesirable light dots present on the lamp.

  • Publication number: 20070045227
    Abstract: A method of stripping photoresist is provided. First, a first dielectric layer including a plurality of contact structures is provided. Then, a barrier layer is formed over the first dielectric layer. Thereafter, a second dielectric layer is formed over the barrier layer. Next, a patterned photoresist layer is formed over the second dielectric layer. Then, the patterned photoresist layer is used as a mask layer for patterning the second dielectric layer and the barrier layer to expose a portion of the contact structures. Furthermore, the patterned photoresist layer is removed by using an oxygen-free reducing gas. Since the reducing gas does not contain oxygen, the process can prevent oxide from forming on the contact structures, thereby reducing resistance of the contact structures.

  • Publication number: 20060240666
    Abstract: A method of forming silicide is described. A layer of refractory metal is deposited on a substrate, and then a first annealing process is performed to form silicide, followed by removal of unreacted metal. Next, a species implanting process is carried out to implant species of neutral atoms into the silicide to break up lattice structure of the silicide, so that the problem of junction leakage induced by spiking and piping diffusion under high temperature during a subsequent second annealing process is avoided.

  • Publication number: 20060154474
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a metal silicide layer over a substrate is provided. First, a hard mask layer is formed over a gate formed on a substrate and a portion of the substrate is exposed. Thereafter, a first metal silicide layer, which is a cobalt silicide or a titanium silicide layer, is formed on the exposed substrate. After that, the hard mask layer is removed and a second metal silicide layer is formed over the gate, wherein a material of the second metal silicide layer is selected from a group consisting of nickel silicide, platinum silicide, palladium silicide and nickel alloy. Since different metal silicide layers are formed on the substrate and the gate, the problem of having a high resistance in lines with a narrow line width and the problem of nickel silicide forming spikes and pipelines in the source region and the drain region are improved.

  • Publication number: 20060116778
    Abstract: On-line statistical process control information system and method are disclosed, which are particularly related to system and method of real-time reflecting and controlling quality of a manufacturing process by employing a database and computer network technology. With the system and method of on-line statistical process control information, information associated with each inspection lot (e.g. the associated clients, products, equipment and the like) input by inspectors is corresponded automatically to respective control charts. Meanwhile, historical data associated with the control charts are acquired to be determined if any exception is occurred by referring to criterions associated therewith. When an exception is determined to be present, a notification is issued real time to an associated operator such as by sending an email to the operator.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an image-and-audio data real-time integration system for integrating an image data and an audio data into an image-and-audio integrated data, and has an image data parser, an audio data parser, and an image-and-audio data integrating processor. The image data parser retrieves image data from an image source and stores the image data in an image data buffer. The audio data parser retrieves the audio data from an audio source and stores the audio data in an audio data buffer. The image-and-audio data integrating processor integrates the image data and the audio data into the image-and-audio integrated data.

  • Patent number: 6731053
    Abstract: A lamp includes a base, light emitting diodes and a transparent covering unit. The base has a convexly curved surface. The transparent covering unit has a convexly curved surface on a first side, and several outwardly facing flat sections on an opposite second side, which is faced with the convexly curved surface of the base. The light emitting diodes are arranged on the convexly curved surface of the base to be each perpendicular to a corresponding one of the flat sections; thus, light emitted from the light emitting diodes can be refracted to focus when passing through the transparent covering unit, providing increased illumination.
