  • Reducing dislocation formation in semiconductor devices through targeted carbon implantation
    Patent number: 8343825
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes implanting an amorphizing species into a crystalline semiconductor substrate, the substrate having a transistor gate structure formed thereupon. Carbon is implanted into amorphized regions of the substrate, with specific implant conditions tailored such that the peak concentration of carbon species coincides with the end of the stacking faults, where the stacking faults are created during the recrystallization anneal. The implanted carbon pins partial dislocations so as to prevent the dislocations from disassociating from the end of the stacking faults and moving to a region in the substrate directly below the transistor gate structure. This removes the defects, which cause device leakage fail.

  • Detecting asymmetrical transistor leakage defects
    Patent number: 8294485
    Abstract: A method of detecting low-probability defects in large transistor arrays (such as large arrays of SRAM cells), where the defects manifest themselves as asymmetrical leakage in a transistor (such as a pulldown nFET in an SRAM cell). These defects are detected by creating one or more test arrays, identical in all regards to the large transistor arrays up until the contact and metallization layers. Leakage is measured by applying an appropriate off-state voltage (e.g., 0V) by a common connection to all of the gates of the transistors in the test array, then measuring the aggregate drain/source leakage current, both forward and reverse (e.g., first grounded source and positively biased drain, then grounded drain and positively biased source) comparing the difference between the two leakage current measurements.

  • Method for fabricating an image sensor device
    Patent number: 8283110
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an image sensor device is disclosed. The method for fabricating an image sensor device comprises forming a photosensitive layer on a substrate. The photosensitive layer is exposed through a first photomask to form an exposed portion and an unexposed portion. The unexposed portion is partially exposed through a second photomask to form a trimmed part, wherein the second photomask comprise a first segment and a second segment that has a transmittance greater than that of the first segment. The trimmed part is removed to form photosensitive structures. The photosensitive structures are reflowed to form a first microlens and a second microlens having different heights.

  • HANDLEBAR GRIP
    Publication number: 20120234130
    Abstract: A handlebar grip includes an outer tube, an inner tube extending inside the outer tube, and an annular space defined between the inner and outer tubes for receiving therein a bicycle handlebar. The inner tube has guide slots and an inner guide surface having a gradually decreased diameter. Through a threadedly connecting structure a wedge-shaped member is threaded with a bolt extending into the outer tube in a way that ribs of the wedge-shaped member are inserted in the guide slots of the inner tube respectively. When the bolt is gradually tightened up to drive the wedge-shaped member to move into the inner tube, a circumferential surface of the wedge-shaped member, which is configured to be matched with the inner guide surface of the inner tube, will squeeze the inner tube to expand outwardly so as to clamp the bicycle handlebar between the inner and outer tubes.

  • METHOD OF A TOUCH PANEL DETERMINING MULTI-TOUCH
    Publication number: 20120139849
    Abstract: In a method of a touch panel determining multi-touch, the touch panel can determine if a sensing channel having a local minimum of a sensing value is the last sensing channel having the sensing value, or determine if sensing channels having the sensing value larger than a threshold generated according to a maximum are successive sensing channels, so as to determine the number of touch points on the touch panel. In addition, the touch panel can find a first local maximum and a second local maximum from the sensing values of the sensing channels, and compare the first local maximum and the second local maximum with a first reference and a second reference, so as to confirm the number of touch points on the touch panel.
