Abstract:
The present invention discloses a structure and method for reducing the current consumption of a capacitive load, wherein a storage capacitor is installed between a capacitive load and the output side of a drive element; a switch is used to switch the connection between the storage capacitor and the capacitive load and the connection between the output side and the capacitive load; when the output side is to undertake a signal transition, the switch interconnects the storage capacitor and the capacitive load to equalize those two capacitors; after the equalization is completed, the switch interconnects the output side and the capacitive load to charge the capacitive load; thus, the load capacitor of the capacitive load can be charged or discharged at an initial voltage level.
Abstract:
A method of reducing stress induced defects in a substrate according to an HDP-CVD process including providing a substrate for depositing a layer of material according to an HDP-CVD process; igniting a plasma for carrying out an HDP-CVD process; adjusting plasma operating parameters to achieve a first deposition-sputter ratio with respect to the substrate; depositing a first portion of the layer of material according to a first range of substrate temperatures; and, depositing at least a second portion of the layer of material according to at least a second range of substrate temperatures.
Abstract:
A CPU heat sink mounted on a CPU an carrying a fan above the CPU, the CPU heat sink having a flat base mounted on the CPU, the flat base having a thicker middle section disposed in contact with the CPU, and two thinner lateral sections bilaterally extended from the thicker middle section and spaced above the CPU, a plurality of upright fins longitudinally raised from the flat base, a plurality of ventilation grooves transversely cut through the upright fins for guiding currents of air from the fan through the upright fins, and, a plurality of ventilation slots transversely cut through the upright fins and the thinner lateral sections of the flat base for guiding currents of air from the fan toward the CPU.
