  • Publication number: 20240088246
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards a control gate layout to improve an etch process window for word lines. In some embodiments, an integrated chip comprises a memory array, an erase gate, a word line, and a control gate. The memory array comprises a plurality of cells in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. The erase gate and the word line are elongated in parallel along a row of the memory array. The control gate is elongated along the row and is between and borders the erase gate and the word line. Further, the control gate has a pad region protruding towards the erase gate and the word line. Because the pad region protrudes towards the erase gate and the word line, a width of the pad region is spread between word-line and erase-gate sides of the control gate.

  • Publication number: 20200192110
    Abstract: A display device includes an imaging element, a flat surface light source and a polarization beam splitter. The flat surface light source is used for providing plural illumination beams. A normal line of the flat surface light source and a normal line of the imaging element are not perpendicular to each other. The polarization beam splitter is arranged between the flat surface light source and the imaging element, and has a geometric surface. When the illumination beams from the flat surface light source are projected on the geometric surface, the illumination beams are reflected to the imaging element. The imaging beams from the imaging element are transmitted through the geometric surface. Consequently, an image is outputted. An imaging surface of the imaging surface can be irradiated uniformly by the illumination beams on within a specified viewing angle.

First, a semiconductor substrate including at least one shallow trench is provided, and the shallow trench is filled with Spin-On-Dielectric (SOD) material, e.g., polysilazane, to form a SOD material layer. Then, the SOD material layer is subjected to a planarization process. Oxygen ions are implanted into the SOD material layer to a predetermined depth, and a high temperature process is performed afterwards to transform the portion of the SOD material layer having oxygen ions into a silicon oxide layer. The oxygen ions can be implanted by plasma doping, immersion doping or ion implantation.
