Transforming the polycrystalline silicon to amorphous polysilicon at the ...

07/14/05 - 20050153517 - Modifying u-shaped window spacers to receive internal blinds or other hardware
Devices and methods are employed to convert an open, U-shaped flex-type window spacer to provide a surface for mounting an interior blind or other hardware. Such existing spacers have a generally U-shaped cross section and a groove with a width facing into a sealed cavity between panes of glass and ...

06/09/05 - 20050124132 - Self-aligned mim capacitor process for embedded dram
A semiconductor device includes a group of capacitors and a trench. Each capacitor includes a first conductive material layer, a dielectric layer, and a second conductive material layer. The dielectric layer is located between the first and second conductive material layers. The first conductive material layer coats an inside surface ...

06/02/05 - 20050118780 - High k artificial lattices for capacitor applications to use in cu or al beol
An improved and new process of fabricating high dielectric constant MIM capacitors. These high dielectric constant MIM capacitor met all of the stringent requirements needed for both for both RF and analog circuit applications.

06/02/05 - 20050118779 - Method for fabricating semiconductor device
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device capable of preventing an electric short between lower electrodes caused by leaning lower electrodes, or lifted lower electrodes and of securing a sufficient capacitance of a capacitor by increasing an effective capacitor area. The method includes the steps of: preparing a semi-finished semiconductor ...

06/02/05 - 20050118778 - Metal-insulator-metal (mim) capacitor and fabrication method for making the same
A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor includes a first metal plate; a first capacitor dielectric layer disposed on the first metal plate and a second metal plate stacked on the first capacitor dielectric layer. The first metal plate, the first capacitor dielectric layer, and the second metal plate constitute a lower capacitor. ...
