Latest Patents
One of Lin's latest patents is titled "Alignment dip back oxide and code implant through poly to approach the depletion mode device character." This invention presents a metal code process for a read-only memory (ROM) that combines the alignment dip back process with a double charge implant approach. This combination effectively reduces the polyoxide thickness over the gate electrode and protects the field oxide, while also addressing leakage current issues. A stable depletion mode device character is achieved by utilizing implant step energies greater than 150 keV.
Another significant patent by Lin is the "Vacuum pencil having a short tip with an abutment means." This invention features a vacuum pencil equipped with an abutment pin that limits the distance the tip can extend past the edge of a wafer. This design minimizes scratches on the device sides of adjacent wafers. The vacuum pencil has a relatively flat tip connected to a body, with channels for delivering a vacuum to seal against the wafer.
