  • Publication number: 20030084314
    Abstract: An identity verification system has a record medium, a terminal device and a main system device. The record medium records coded verification data. The terminal device reads the coded verification data on the record medium and saves new first coded verification data to the record medium. The main system device is connected to the terminal device. The main system device has decoding means to decode the coded verification data on the record medium to decoded verification data and encoding means to code the decoded verification data to new first coded verification data. The coded verification data on the record medium will be replaced with the new coded verification data generated by the encoding means of the main system device. This can prevent the original verification data from being stolen when the data is being transmitted between the terminal device and the main system device. The fraudulent use of the record medium can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 5868843
    Abstract: A detachable sponge device for a spin coating machine used to coat a liquid material over a semiconductor wafer is provided. The detachable sponge device is used to prevent the solvent that is jetted on the edge of the wafer from being oversprayed elsewhere on the wafer. The detachable sponge device is composed of a curved mounting piece and a corrugated piece of sponge attached on the curved inner side of the mounting piece. The mounting piece can be detachably mounted on the spin coating machine. The corrugated piece of sponge can absorb splattered particles of solvent from the wafer which can thus be prevented from bouncing back onto the wafer. The planarization of the coating of SOG on the wafer thus will not be affected by splattering particles of the solvent. Excellent results of planarization of SOG or photoresist layers can thus be achieved.

  • Patent number: 5861345
    Abstract: An in situ inter-dielectric process is disclosed for forming multilevel metal structures. The process includes the steps of:(1) forming an SOG layer on an uneven semiconductor surface,(2) treating a surface of the SOG layer with a plasma in a PECVD chamber, and(3) forming a PECVD oxide layer on the treated surface in the same PECVD chamber.The operating parameters for performing the in situ treatment are as follows:______________________________________ Gas: N.sub.2 O or C.sub.2 F.sub.6 Pressure: 4-6 Torr Temperature: 300-400.degree. C. Power: 200-400 Watts Gap: 300-800 mil Flow: 500-1500 sccm Time: 5-15 sec ______________________________________Thus, the treatment can be performed in the same PECVD chamber used to form a PECVD oxide layer on the treated SOG layer.Furthermore, the SOG layer surface may be oxidized to produce an organic deficient SiO.sub.x layer at the surface of the SOG layer prior to performing the treatment step (2).
