Abstract:
A cylindrical capacitor structure and a corresponding method of manufacture. To form the cylindrical capacitor, a conductive section, an etching stop layer, a first insulation layer, a bit line structure and a second insulation layer are sequentially formed over a substrate. A portion of the second insulation layer and the first insulation layer is removed until the etching stop layer is exposed. Ultimately, a plurality of gap-connected cylindrical openings and node contact openings between spacers are sequentially formed. Conductive spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the cylindrical openings and the node contact openings. In the meantime, material similar to the conductive spacers fills the small gaps, thereby forming an upper electrode for the capacitor. A dielectric layer is formed over the capacitor electrode. The exposed etching stop layer at the bottom of the contact opening is removed to expose the conductive section above the substrate. Finally, conductive material is deposited into the node contact openings and the cylindrical openings to become the lower electrodes and the node contacts respectively.

The dielectric layer is removed. A capacitor dielectric layer and an upper electrode are successively formed on the lower electrode to complete the fabrication of the capacitor.

Abstract:
An output voltage detecting circuit includes a conducting structure, a voltage regulator, a first resistor and a second resistor. The conducting structure includes a power output return terminal, a first contact and a second contact. A compensating voltage is generated between the first and second contacts when an output current flows through the first and second contacts. The voltage regulator adjusts a first current according to a voltage across a first circuit terminal and the ground terminal of the voltage regulator, thereby generating a detecting signal according to the first current. An output voltage across the positive power output terminal and the power output return terminal is subject to voltage division by the first and second resistors to generate a divided voltage. The voltage across the first circuit terminal and the ground terminal of the voltage regulator is equal to a difference between the divided voltage and the compensating voltage.

Meanwhile, the PFC is in operation to maintain the voltage of the first capacitor in order to meet the demand of the output dynamic response of the main converter.
