Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily extract and appropriately process a table area of a multilevel document image while reducing extraction errors by using information of colors.  <P>SOLUTION: When the multilevel image including the table area is inputted (a step S301), the same-color pixel link component wherein pixels in the same color are linked is extracted (a step S302). Then, a partial area resulting from combining a plurality of same-color pixel link components using the form and position of the extracted same-color pixel link component is extracted as the table area (a step S303). Afterwards, positions and sizes of the table area and a cell included in the table area are extracted as information of the extracted table area (a step S304). When extracting the table area, color information is also used for extracting a partial area to prevent a plurality of photograph areas from being erroneously identified as a table area, so that the table area is appropriately identified.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Title: Method for forming liner of tungsten plug

IPC: H01L23/52
Filed: 2002-11-15
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a method for forming the liner of a tungsten plug.  <P>SOLUTION: This is a liner of a tungsten plug in a semiconductor device and a method for forming the liner contribute to cost reduction and enhancement of reliability. In one aspect, formation of a thin titanium nitride protective film on an initial film is found by depositing the initial film of titanium using an arbitrary prior art process, e.g. CVD, PVD or IMP (ion metal plasma), and then heating it at about 450°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. It was found that the protective film has uniform density and occurrence of an abnormal shape in the deposited titanium nitride (TiN) can be avoided. The thickness of the TiN layer can be controlled by controlling the time interval of the annealing processes and the pressure of nitrogen in an annealing tool. Soundness (integrity) of the titanium nitride layer is preserved and formation of volcanos is avoided using this two step method.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
