Publication number: 20250151306Abstract: A semiconductor device and method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes etch selectivity tuning to enlarge epitaxy process windows. Through modification of etching processes and careful selection of materials, improvements in semiconductor device yield and performance can be delivered. Etch selectivity is controlled by using dilute gas, using assistive etch chemicals, controlling a magnitude of bias power used in the etching process, and controlling an amount of passivation gas used in the etching process, among other approaches. A recess is formed in a dummy fin in a region of the semiconductor where epitaxial growth occurs to further enlarge the epitaxy process window.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Applicant: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.Inventors: Shih-Yao Lin, Te-Yung Liu, Chih-Han Lin

Publication number: 20250068150Abstract: A smart factory system for being set up between a smart factory and a backend-system provider is disclosed. The smart factory system includes: a factory installation, being installed in the smart factory; a plurality of sensors, being in connection with the factory installation; a smart machine box, being signally connected to each of the sensors; a computing and storing apparatus, being set up at premises of the backend-system provider; and a query-making apparatus. With the most cost-intensive functions like computing and storing set up and maintained by the backend-system provider, a smart factory can be easily started and run by locally setting up and maintaining sensors and smart machine boxes while remotely subscribing the functions maintained by the backend-system provider as services with payment. The system significantly reduces the costs for stating and running a smart factory, thereby encouraging transformation into or establishment of smart factories.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Chih-Neng LIU, Chih-Yung LIU
