Patent number: 8753788Abstract: An apparatus includes a probe tip configured to contact the mask, a cantilever configured to mount the probe tip wherein the cantilever includes a mirror, an optical unit having a light source projecting a light beam on the mirror and a light detector receiving a reflected light beam from the mirror, and an electrical power supply configured to connect the probe tip. The apparatus further includes a computer system configured to connect the optical unit, the electrical power supply, and the stage. The electrical power supply provides an electrical current to the probe tip and heats the probe tip to a predetermined temperature. The heated probe tip repairs a defect by smoothing and reducing a dimension of the defect, and inducing structural deformations of multilayer that cancel out the distortion (of multilayer) caused by buried defects using the heated probe tip as a thermal source canning the defect.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2013Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Chia-Hao Yu, Yun-Yue Lin

Publication number: 20130280644Abstract: A photomask includes a low thermal expansion material (LTEM) substrate, a patterned opaque layer over the LTEM substrate, and a patterned capping layer over the opaque layer. The patterned capping layer includes a transition metal material for suppressing haze growth, such as metal oxide, metal nitride, or metal oxynitride. The material in the capping layer reacts with a hydrogenic compound from a lithography environment to for an atomic level hydrogen passivation layer. The passivation layer has superior ability to suppress photo-induced haze defect growth on the photomask surface, to improve production cycle time and reduce the production cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2012Publication date: October 24, 2013Applicant: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Yun-Yue Lin, Ta-Cheng Lien, Hsin-Chang Lee, Anthony Yen, Chia-Jen Chen

Patent number: 8502068Abstract: The present invention discloses a solar cell having a multi-layered structure that is used to generate, transport, and collect electric charges. The multi-layered nanostructure comprises a cathode, a conducting metal layer, a photo-active layer, a hole-transport layer, and an anode. The photo-active layer comprises a tree-like nanostructure array and a conjugate polymer filler. The tree-like nanostructure array is used as an electron acceptor while the conjugate polymer filler is as an electron donor. The tree-like nanostructure array comprises a trunk part and a branch part. The trunk part is formed in-situ on the surface of the conducting metal layer and is used to provide a long straight transport pathway to transport electrons. The large contact area between the branch part and the conjugate polymer filler provides electron-hole separation.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: National Taiwan UniversityInventors: Wei-Fang Su, Chun-Wei Chen, Jih-Jen Wu, Yun-Yue Lin
