IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: Screens generated by a host application are reformatted for viewing by applying styles to the host screens in response to recognized components included therein. In particular, a system for reformatting a host screen generated by an application and which includes components such as paragraphs or tables, is arranged for determining if an organization of the components in the host screen matches a layout of a reformatted screen associated with one of the predetermined styles, and the reformatted screen is generated automatically by arranging selected components from the host screen according to one of the predetermined styles if the organisation of the components in the host screen matches the layout of the reformatted screen associated with one of the predetermined styles. A terminal emulation data structure may represent a state of interaction in a terminal emulation session provided between a resource and a client, the terminal emulation data structure comprising a first XML tag which represents a present state of interaction between client and resource, a second tag representing output provided by the resource to the client based on the first tag, a third tag representing a next state of interaction between client and resource, and a fourth tag which represents a format for display of data associated with the present state. The interaction can be saved for later execution so that a user can re-apply the same styles to the same host screens in a subsequent session.

Title: Self aligned contact holes
Inventor: OHUCHI MASAHIKO
IPC: H01L21/3205
Filed: 2001-11-14
Abstract: A method of etching self aligned contact (SAC) holes 15 in a semiconductor device (eg DRAM) includes the step of forming a protective film 8 (eg nitride) on top of a wiring layer 10 (eg bit line, word line) and spacers 12 (eg nitride) on the sidewalls of the wiring layer 10. The protective film 8 and sidewall spacers 12 are used as part of a mask, along with a resist mask 14, when forming the contact holes 15 by reactive ion etch (RIE). After various etching stages in the method, the device is subjected to oxygen plasma treatment (ashing) followed by dipping in diluted hydrofluoric acid (DHF) in order to remove unwanted particles which may be adhered to the device. Accurate alignment of the resist mask 14 is not required and so higher density of the semiconductor device may be obtained.
