Abstract:
A multilevel reference generator has a plurality of nonlinear standard resistive elements where each resistive element is biased at a constant level to develop a resultant level. The multilevel reference generator has a plurality of mirror sources. Each mirror source is in communication with the one of the plurality of resistive elements such that each mirror source receives the resultant level from the one standard resistive element and provides a mirrored replication of the resultant level. The multilevel reference generator has a plurality of reference level combining circuits. The reference level combining circuit includes a resultant level summing circuit that additively combines the first and second mirrored replication level and a level scaling circuit to create a scaling of the combined first and second mirrored replication levels to create the reference level.

Abstract:
An apparatus for fixing a storage device includes a metal bracket, and a fixing frame slidably received in the bracket. The bracket includes two side plates, and one of the side plates forms a resilient tab. The fixing frame includes two opposite fixing arms each defining a latching hole, two resilient members, and two metal fasteners. Each resilient member includes a pad clinging to an inner surface of a corresponding one of the fixing arms, and a projection engaging in the latching hole of the corresponding fixing arm. Each fastener includes a head, and a pin. The heads are received in the corresponding latching holes and abut against outer sides of the corresponding projections. The pins extend through the corresponding through holes for engaging with the storage device. A protrusion extends outwards from one of the heads to contact the resilient tab and connect the storage device to ground.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing TSVs comprises following steps: A stack structure having a substrate, an ILD layer and a dielectric stop layer is provided, in which an opening penetrating through the ILD layer and the dialectic stop layer and further extending into the substrate is formed. After an insulator layer and a metal barrier are formed on the stack structure, a top metal layer is formed on the stack structure to fulfill the opening. A first planarization process stopping on the metal barrier is conducted, wherein the first planarization process has a polishing rate for removing the metal barrier less than that for removing the top metal layer. A second planarization process stopping on the dielectric stop layer is conducted, wherein the second planarization process has a polishing rate for removing the insulator layer greater than that for removing the dielectric stop layer. The dielectric stop layer is than removed.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing TSVs, wherein the method comprises several steps as follows: A stack structure having a substrate and an ILD layer (inter layer dielectric layer) is provided, in which an opening penetrating through the ILD layer and further extending into the substrate is formed. After an insulator layer and a metal barrier layer are formed on the stack structure and the sidewalls of the opening, a top metal layer is then formed on the stack structure to fulfill the opening. A first planarization process stopping on the barrier layer is conducted to remove a portion of the top metal layer. A second planarization process stopping on the ILD layer is subsequently conducted to remove a portion of the metal barrier layer, a portion of the insulator layer and a portion of the top metal layer, wherein the second planarization process has a polishing endpoint determined by a light interferometry or a motor current.
