Title: Yong-Yi Lin: Innovator in Semiconductor Fabrication
Introduction
Yong-Yi Lin is a prominent inventor based in Miaoli County, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor fabrication, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on improving the manufacturing processes of transistors and semiconductor devices.
Latest Patents
Yong-Yi Lin's latest patents include a "Fabricating method of transistors without dishing occurred during CMP process." This innovative method involves providing a substrate with numerous transistors, each featuring a gate structure. A gap is strategically placed between adjacent gate structures. The process includes forming a protective layer and a first dielectric layer to cover the substrate and transistors while filling the gap. Buffering particles are then created to contact the first dielectric layer without touching each other. A second dielectric layer is subsequently formed over the buffering particles, followed by a first planarization process that effectively removes parts of the dielectric layers and buffering particles, utilizing the protective layer as a stop layer.
Another notable patent is the "Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device," which introduces a metal gate process. This method incorporates a sacrificial nitride layer during the fabrication of metal gates, allowing for better control of gate height and effectively addressing the particle fall-on problem.
