  • Patent number: 7247555
    Abstract: A method of forming trench openings in a dual damascene trench and via etch process by using a two component hard mask layer, termed a bi-layer, over different intermetal dielectrics, IMD, to solve dual damascene patterning problems, such as, fencing and sub-trench formation. Via first patterning in dual damascene processing is one of the major integration schemes for copper backend of line (BEOL) integration. Via first dual damascene scheme usually uses a hard mask layer deposited on top of an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) film stack. The dual damascene trench etch requires uniform trench depth across wafer after etch. In addition, via top corner profiles need to be well maintained without any fencing or faceting. The present method solves these problems by using a two component hard mask layer, termed a bi-layer, deposited directly on top of an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) film stack.

  • Patent number: 6847724
    Abstract: This invention discloses an electronic device with storable earphone, wherein an earphone cable is wrapped in an earphone strap and a coiler of the electronic device adjusts the extension and contraction of the earphone strap, so that a user may adjust and use the earphone in different environments. When the earphone strap is coiled, the strap is coiled evenly by a guider on the coiler to avoid the jam caused by coiling the strap onto one side of the collector. The structure of the coiler is simple, which makes use of one side of the existing battery compartment of the electronic device for its storage, and thus not occupying additional space in the electronic device.
