  • Publication number: 20240136226
    Abstract: An ammonium fluoride gas may be used to form a protection layer for one or more interlayer dielectric layers, one or more insulating caps, and/or one or more source/drain regions of a semiconductor device during a pre-clean etch process. The protection layer can be formed through an oversupply of nitrogen trifluoride during the pre-clean etch process. The oversupply of nitrogen trifluoride causes an increased formation of ammonium fluoride, which coats the interlayer dielectric layer(s), the insulating cap(s), and/or the source/drain region(s) with a thick protection layer. The protection layer protects the interlayer dielectric layer(s), the insulating cap(s), and/or the source/drain region(s) during the pre-clean process from being etched by fluorine ions formed during the pre-clean process.

  • Publication number: 20240013183
    Abstract: A Projected Capacitive (PCAP) display including multiple arrays of conductive electrodes performs a dual function. In a first function, the PCAP display uses the conductive electrode arrays to generate an electrostatic field and determines the presence and position of a conductive object based on small changes it detects in the capacitance of that electrostatic field. In a second function, the PCAP display uses the same conductive electrode arrays to generate a magnetic field. As a user swipes the card across the surface of the PCAP display, it causes small changes in the generated magnetic field. The PCAP display retrieves the data magnetically encoded onto the magnetic stripe card based on the changes it detects in the magnetic field.
