Abstract:
An integrated circuit device is fabricated upon a semi-conductor wafer by first forming a stop layer upon the surface of the wafer. Holes are formed through the stop layer and wells are formed in the semiconductor material of the semiconductor wafer below the openings. A dielectric layer is formed over the surface of the device substantially filling the wells and covering the stop layer. The dielectric layer is then planarized to substantially the level of the stop layer. A PAD oxide layer is provided between the stop layer and the surface of the semiconductor device. Conventional thin film oxidation of the wells and implants into the side walls of the wells are performed. An abrasive mechanical polisher is used to perform the planarization wherein the mechanical polisher is provided with the self-stopping feature when it encounters the stop layer.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the production of polyvinyl alcohol, and more precisely, a method and an apparatus for the production of polyvinyl alcohol in which the saponification of a mixture of polyvinyl ester solution and a catalyst is induced in a reactor equipped with a planetary stirrer coated with one or more coating agents selected from a group consisting of fluororesin, silicon resin and epoxy resin. According to the present invention, the method and apparatus of the present invention have advantages for the production of polyvinyl alcohol such as inhibiting gelation during the conversion of polyvinyl ester into polyvinyl alcohol, thereby enabling the preparation of polyvinyl alcohol with a high degree of saponification, a high degree of polymerization and high apparent gravity, reducing the amount of a solvent used and thereby requiring a smaller reactor, resulting in the reduction of the apparatus cost and the solvent recovery cost.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a resin composition comprising (A) 100 parts by weight of a base resin comprising a rubber-modified styrene-containing graft copolymer and a styrene-containing copolymer; (B) 0.5-8 parts by weight of an acrylic rubber graft copolymer resin having an average particle size of 0.1-0.5 μm; and (C) 0.5-8 parts by weight of a graft copolymer resin comprising an ethylene α-olefinic copolymer rubber having an average particle size of 0.1-0.8 μm. The thermoplastic resin composition of the present invention greatly improves chemical resistance to insulating materials, such as urethane foam, or foaming agent compounds, such as freon (CFC-11, HCFC-141b, HFC-245fa, HFC-245eb, HFC-245ca, HFC-356mffm) and cyclopentane and offers superior impact strength, whiteness and processability. It can be useful for extrusion sheets of refrigerator interiors.
Abstract:
A scheme to reduce output variations in a column driver for a flat-panel display by sharing the characteristics of analog circuit is disclosed. An input multiplexer is provided between two neighboring digital inputs, and an output multiplexer is provided between two neighboring analog outputs so that the characteristics of neighboring analog circuits can be shared by multiplexing. The averaging effect by sharing reduces variations in the output. The multiplexing may be done either in time division or on a frame-by-frame basis.
Abstract:
A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of floating gate type memory cell transistors having control gates. Word lines are integrally formed with the control gates, and boosting lines are self-aligned with the word lines. During programming, a first voltage is applied to a selected word line, and then a second voltage is applied to the boosting line over the selected word line. The voltage on the selected word line is then increased by capacitive coupling of the second voltage thereon, thereby programming at least one selected memory cell transistor. Therefore, a voltage lower than a program voltage is used on a selected word line, thereby reducing chip area and enhancing programming speed.
