20120002375 | METHOD AND STRUCTURE FOR DISSIPATING HEAT AWAY FROM A RESISTOR HAVING NEIGHBORING DEVICES AND INTERCONNECTS - A semiconductor structure for dissipating heat away from a resistor having neighboring devices and interconnects. The semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a resistor disposed above the semiconductor substrate, and a thermal protection structure disposed above the resistor. The thermal protection structure has a plurality of heat dissipating elements, the heat dissipating elements having one end disposed in thermal conductive contact with the thermal protection structure and the other end in thermal conductive contact with the semiconductor substrate. The thermal protection structure receives the heat generated from the resistor and the heat dissipating elements dissipates the heat to the semiconductor substrate. | 01-05-2012 |

20120276732 | PROTECTION LAYER FOR PREVENTING LASER DAMAGE ON SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - A method for forming a semiconductor structure is provided to prevent energy that is used to blow at least one fuse formed on a metal layer above a semiconductor substrate from causing damage on the structure. The semiconductor structure includes a device, guard ring, protection ring, and at least one protection layer. The device is constructed on the semiconductor substrate underneath the fuse. A seal ring, which surrounds the fuse, is constructed on at least one metal layer between the device and the fuse for confining the energy therein. The protection layer is formed within the seal ring, on at least one metal layer between the device and the fuse for shielding the device from being directly exposed to the energy. | 11-01-2012 |
20140111781 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ULTRAVIOLET (UV) PATTERNING WITH REDUCED OUTGASSING - A method and apparatus for ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography patterning is provided. A UV or EUV light beam is generated and directed to the surface of a substrate disposed on a stage and coated with photoresist. A laminar flow of a layer of inert gas is directed across and in close proximity to the substrate surface coated with photoresist during the exposure, i.e. lithography operation. The inert gas is exhausted quickly and includes a short resonance time at the exposure location. The inert gas flow prevents flue gasses and other contaminants produced by outgassing of the photoresist, to precipitate on and contaminate other features of the lithography apparatus. | 04-24-2014 |
