Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first etching pattern structure and a second etching pattern structure on a substrate. The first cell etching pattern structure has a top surface at a level that is different from that of a top surface of the second etching pattern structure. The method further includes forming a first spacer layer on the first etching pattern structure and the second etching pattern structure. The first spacer layer covers top and lateral surfaces of the first etching pattern structure and top and lateral surfaces of the second etching pattern structure. The method further includes performing a first etching process on the first spacer layer to form a first spacer and a second spacer. The first spacer layer is fully exposed during the first etching process of the first spacer layer.
Abstract:
In a method of cutting a fine pattern, a line structure is formed on a substrate. The line structure extends in a first direction, and includes a pattern and a first mask. The pattern and the first mask include different materials. A sacrificial layer is formed on the substrate to cover the line structure. The sacrificial layer is partially etched to form a first opening partially overlapping the line structure in a vertical direction. A portion of the first mask, an upper portion of the pattern and/or a portion of the sacrificial layer under the first opening are partially etched using an etching gas having no etching selectivity among the pattern, the first mask and the sacrificial layer. A lower portion of the pattern under the upper portion thereof is removed to divide the pattern into a plurality of pieces spaced apart from each other in the first direction.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: wireless communication circuitry, at least one processor operatively connected with the wireless communication circuitry, and a memory operatively connected with the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to control the electronic device to: identify a state of the electronic device, receive a system information block (SIB) from a first base station supporting a first cellular network via the wireless communication circuitry, identify whether a network to which the electronic device belongs supports dual connectivity (DC) between the first cellular network and a second cellular network based on information included in the SIB, enable a second cellular network function of the wireless communication circuitry based on the network supporting the DC, and transmit information indicating that the second cellular network function of the electronic device is enabled to the network via the wireless communication circuitry.
Abstract:
A particulate matter collecting apparatus includes a duct, a water sprayer, a micro-channel forming unit, and an impactor. A gas-liquid mixed fluid is formed by spraying water to air flowing along the inside of the duct using the water sprayer. The gas-liquid mixed fluid collides with a collision plate of the impactor after passing through a plurality of micro-channels provided in the micro-channel forming unit. Particulate matter in air is collected by droplets or a liquid film formed on the plurality of micro-channels and the collision plate. Water flowing down from the plurality of micro-channels is discharged through a first water outlet.
