Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Structure for measuring the etching speed." This invention discloses a structure and method for measuring the etching speed by connecting a test layer with several resistors. As the metal layer is etched, the resistors are disconnected from the circuit in order. The equivalent resistance of the sensing resistor system is measured to obtain the etching speed. To account for errors in the resistors, the invention also provides a structure that utilizes an IC layout technique to place an interdigitized dummy resistor beside the sensing resistors. By taking the ratio of the equivalent resistance of the sensing resistors and the dummy resistor, the invention can compute the etching speed accurately.
Another significant patent is the "Fabrication method for microstructures with high aspect ratios." This method employs a CMOS process to create desired microstructures on a silicon substrate. The process involves forming contact plugs and via plugs to create etching channels in insulation layers, polysilicon layers, and metal layers, which penetrate to the silicon substrate. An etching process is then performed through these channels to form the desired microstructure with a high aspect ratio.
