  • Patent number: 11908953
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a memory device are provided. The method includes following steps. A gate stacking structure is formed over a substrate. A first insulating layer, a second insulating layer and a mask material layer are sequentially formed over the substrate to cover the gate stacking structure. An ion implantation process is performed on the mask material layer to form a doped portion in the mask material layer. The doped portion caps on a top portion of the gate stacking structure. A first patterning process is performed on the mask material layer using the doped portion as a shadow mask to remove a bottom portion of the mask material layer extending along a surface of the substrate. A second patterning process is performed to remove the doped portion of the mask material layer and an exposed bottom portion of the second insulating layer surrounding the gate stacking structure.

    Abstract: A device and method for cultivating cells are provided, wherein a cell cultivating layer is formed on a surface of a substrate, and a temperature-responsive layer having a plurality of temperature-responsive polymer with magnetic objects is formed on a surface of the cell cultivating layer. When a controlling characteristic exerted on the temperature-responsive layer is varied, a plurality of cells can be adhered on the cell cultivating layer or detached therefrom. When the device is utilized, a temperature control step is operated to control environmental temperature at a first temperature for inducing temperature-responsive polymers becoming hydrophobic whereby the plurality of cells are adhered on the cell cultivating layer. In addition, the alternating magnetic field is utilized to rise temperature of the temperature-responsive polymers so that the plurality of cells can be kept being adhered on the cell cultivating layer at a second temperature lower than the first temperature.
