Patents by Inventor Ying-Jhe Fu

Ying-Jhe Fu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11532554
    Abstract: In some embodiments of the method, patterning the opening includes: projecting a radiation beam toward the second dielectric layer, the radiation beam having a pattern of the opening. In some embodiments of the method, the single-patterning photolithography process is an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography process. In some embodiments of the method, filling the opening with the conductive material includes: plating the conductive material in the opening; and planarizing the conductive material and the second dielectric layer to form the first metal line from remaining portions of the conductive material, top surfaces of the first metal line and the second dielectric layer being planar after the planarizing.
    Type: Grant
