@ For generating from a system clock a high frequency clock signal, the pulse generator has two consecutive delay lines (10a1, 10a3) and additional evaluating circuitry (10a4...10a12) to obtain the intermediate pulses in correct timing relationship with respect to the oroginal system clock pulses. Each of the consecutive system clock pulses propagates through the first (10a1) and into the second (10a3) delay line whose tap outputs are latched (11...L4) as delay indications when the next system clock pulse occurs. From tap outputs of the first delay line (PS, PN, PF) each system pulse can be obtained in several different time positions. The latched delay indications are evaluated in AND gates (10a6, 10a7, 10a8) to obtain three delay indicator signals (SLOW, NORM, FAST) of which only one is active. The delay indicator signals and the tap output signals of the first delay line are combined (10a9...10a12) to obtain an intermediate pulse that has a time position exactly between two consecutive system clock pulses.

When two transceivers (12,14) communicate with each other, the one transceiver may operate at a different internal speed with respect to the other transceiver. In addition, one transceiver may possess different buffering capabilities with respect to the other transceiver. As a result, when one transceiver attempts to communicate with the other transceiver, the more powerful transceiver may overload the other transceiver. This is avoided in the disclosed system and method in which, prior to the initiation of a data transmission, the two transceivers exchange count and rate information. Count information designates the maximum number of bytes of data which the transceiver can receive within a single data frame. Rate information designates the maximum rate at which the transceiver can receive data frames. When the exchange of count and rate information is completed, data transmission will take place using the smaller of the two counts, and the smaller of the two rates.

An improved multiplier is disclosed for multiplying a first operand times a second operand, which includes a Booth-type translator (22) having an input connected to receive the first operand (Y), for translating the binary expression of the first operand.into a sequence of signed digits. The multiplier further includes a partial product generator (30) having a first input connected to the output of the translator and a second input connected to receive the second operand (X), for multiplying the translated first operand times the second operand and furnishing partial products consisting of signed digits. The multiplier further includes an array of adders (36), each adder having having its inputs connected to two of the signed digit outputs from the partial product generator, for providing a sum consisting of a sequence of signed digits. The multiplier further includes an inverse translator (40) having an input connected to the output of the adders, for operating on the sequence of signed digits furnished by the adders, for providing a conventional binary expression for the product of the first and the second operands.

A pressure foot assembly is provided which makes use of a pressure ring (26) mounted in a manner which allows it to float laterally around an end mill cutter (29) which is used to delete circuit lands on a subcomposite printed circuit panel. Enough pressure is provided to keep the ring from rotating and allows the ring to impart a concentrated force very close around the cutter, thus holding the deleted circuit line in place during cutting and keeping cutting burrs to a minimum.

@ A neutralization process is provided for neutralizing chloride ions in etched via holes in multilayer printed circuit boards. The process comprises two dip operations of the board in a solution of a neutralizing cleaner and water which is continuously re-circulated. This is followed by subjecting the board to a heated de-ionized cascaded water feed, an ambient overflow de-ionized water rinse, and conveyorized air drying. The solution of the neutralizing cleaner which comprises alkyl aryl sulfonite, ammonium sulfite, ammonium chloride, sodium chloride, and sodium sulfite has the ability to penetrate down to the bottom of the via hole and to attract the free chloride ions from the etchant residue. The de-ionized water feed and rinse steps rinse out and remove the neutralizing cleaner solution and any residuals formed by chemical reaction.
摘要:
Methods for producing field effect transistor devices having very short channel length are described. A surface isolation pattern (12) in a semiconductor substrate (10) isolates device regions of the semiconductor within the substrate from one another. An insulating layer (16) destined to be the gate dielectric layer of the field effect transistor devices is formed over the isolation pattern (12). Then a first polycrystalline silicon layer (20) is formed thereover. A masking layer (22) such as silicon dioxide is then formed upon the first polycrystalline layer. The multilayer structure is etched to result in a patterned first polycrystalline silicon layer having substantially vertical sidewalls. A sub- micrometer thickness conductive layer (26') is formed on these vertical sidewalls. The patterned layer is then removed which leaves the pattern of sub-micrometer thickness conductive sidewall layer (26') portions of which extend across certain of the device regions. The sidewall conductive layer is utilized as the gate electrode of the field effect transistor devices.
