A microwave oven, having a humidity sensor and a voltage detecting unit for detecting a change in an output voltage of the humidity sensor, includes: a control unit for receiving a compensated voltage according to a change in temperature supplied from the humidity sensor and a detected voltage supplied from the voltage detecting unit, and determining a cooking time based on a voltage difference between the detected voltage and the compensated voltage. With this configuration, an optimal cooking time based on a being cooked can be calculated by use of the humidity sensor, and the cooking time can be controlled in a stable manner relative to external noise or irregular changes in humidity.

Microwave oven and control method thereof

An automatic cooking control method for a microwave oven using data pattern of food, including the steps of: (a) collecting data outputted from a data detecting section for a predetermined time; (b) comparing the collected data with at least one prestored data pattern; and (c) selecting the data pattern among the prestored data pattern that is most similar with the collected data, and performing a cooking operation corresponding to the selected data pattern. When the data collected for the predetermined time corresponds to a no-load pattern, the microwave oven stops the cooking operation. Without separate external data input about weight or physical status of the food in the cooking chamber, the microwave oven automatically selects the most proper cooking process for the food in the cooking chamber by comparing the data about the food in the cooking chamber with the data patterns of the various foods prestored in the microwave oven. Accordingly, the microwave oven becomes easy to operate, and the cooking quality of the microwave oven is improved. Further, by regularly repeating the data collecting, data pattern comparing, and data pattern selecting processes, the microcomputer can perform the proper cooking operation while adjusting the cooking operation in accordance with the respectively selected cooking operations. Thanks to the regular repetition of the above processes, the microwave oven can perform the most proper cooking operation in accordance with the present status of the food in the cooking chamber.

A method for manufacturing a double-cylindrical storage electrode of a capacitor of a semiconductor memory device, utilizes an outer etching mask for forming an outer cylinder and an inner etching mask for forming an inner cylinder. After forming a conductive structure on a semiconductor substrate, an outer etching mask for forming an outer cylinder and an inner etching mask for forming an inner cylinder are formed on the conductive structure. Then, the conductive structure is anisotropically etched using the outer and inner etching masks, thereby forming a double-cylindrical first electrode. Since a double-cylindrical storage electrode can be obtained from a single conductive layer, the influence of native oxidation circumvented. In addition, the double-cylindrical storage electrode of the capacitor according to the present invention decreases the risk of structural fragmenting because the electrode is obtained from one material layer, instead of a combination of layers as is conventionally-known. Also, the storage electrode of the present invention has no sharp edges, so that leakage current can be minimized or avoided.
