    摘要: A distributor with controlled switching elements (CSE) which simplifies hardware construction by distributing the function of a running adder into a reverse banyan network. The distributor comprises a CSE-based network using switching stages, each switching stage having control switching elements. A control signal input stage switches two packet input signal switching channels, each stage receiving each control signal from an output stage having switching elements. An active packet counter counts and generates an output signal which represents the number of active packets inputted to the CSE network. A tail-of-queue register is used for storing output vectors.

    摘要: A round heating plate for a heating chamber used in semiconductor device manufacturing provides uniform heating of the wafer from its center to its outside edges. The round heating plate includes a small-diameter round heating element and multiple ring-shaped elements arranged concentrically therewith. The round heating plate has the same shape as the wafer, and in the heating chamber, a pair of round heating plates is arranged so as to be concentric with a pair of wafers to be heated. During heating, the wafers are installed in a space formed between the heating plates.

    摘要: A dry etching method and apparatus improves the uniformity of etching a wafer in the manufacture of a semiconductor device. The dry etching apparatus has a susceptor supporting the wafer, a cooling system installed in the susceptor, an upper RF (radio frequency) electrode which may incorporate a gas diffuser for spraying reactive gas toward the wafer, and an RF power source for producing an electric field used to react the gas and generate plasma. The gap between the upper RF electrode and the susceptor is configured to accommodate for distortions in the wafer or other processing requirements. In addition, the nozzles of the gas diffuser can be configured to spray different amounts of gas to also enhance the etching uniformity. Finally, one of the electrodes may be divided into concentric sections. In this case, the RF power source can generate electric fields of different intensities at the sections. When the divided electrode is the susceptor, the cooling system cools the sections to different temperatures to in turn temperature-condition the wafer in a manner determined in advance to enhance the uniformity of the etching process.
