A method of and apparatus for forming interconnects on a substrate includes etching patterns in ultra-low k dielectric and removing moisture from the ultra-low k dielectric using active energy assist baking. During active energy assist baking, the ultra-low k dielectric is heated and exposed to light having only wavelengths greater than 400 nm for about 1 to about 20 minutes at a temperature of about 300 to about 400 degrees Celsius. The active energy assist baking is performed after wet-cleaning or after chemical mechanical polishing, or both.

An RF switch circuit includes an RF switch including a first NMOS switch formed on a chip substrate, a switch controller including a second NMOS switch and a PMOS switch formed on the substrate, for controlling the RF switch, and a limiter including a deep N-type well diode formed on the substrate, for limiting an RF signal level transferred from the RF switch to the switch controller through the substrate. The first NMOS switch includes a first N-type terminal formed on a deep N-type well substrate formed on the substrate, for receiving a driving power through a first floating resistor, a P-type terminal for receiving a body power through a second floating resistor, and two second N-type terminals for receiving a gate power through a third floating resistor. The P-type and two second N-type terminals are formed on a P-type substrate formed on the deep N-type well substrate.
摘要:
Mechanisms for providing linear relationship between temperatures and digital codes are disclosed. In one method, at a particular temperature, a circuit in the sensor provides a temperature dependent reference voltage, and a compared voltage, to a comparator. The temperature dependent reference voltage depends on temperature in complement to absolute temperature or alternatively depends on temperature in proportion to absolute temperature. The compared voltage is generated corresponding to digital analog converter (DAC) codes as inputs. Another circuit varies the DAC codes until the temperature dependent reference voltage and the compared voltage are equal so that the dependent reference voltage corresponds to a DAC code. The various temperatures experienced by the temperature sensing circuit and the DAC codes are substantially linearly related.

A side-release buckle assembly includes a main housing, a button positioned through a side of the main housing, a metal coil spring biased between an interior wall of the main housing and the button, and a mating member. Movement of the button is directly transferred to the spring, and vice versa. The ratchet strap is moveable through the main housing in a first direction, and when the button is pressed, the ratchet strap is moveable through the buckle housing in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A wheelchair gym having a support bar releasably connected to the frame of the wheelchair. A vertical post is attached to the support bar and hand grips are slidably mounted on the vertical post. The hand grips are resiliently biased and may be moved conjointly or opposite to one another to provide arm exercise for a patient in the wheelchair. The gym also has leg supports on which resiliently biased foot rests may be moved conjointly or opposite to one another. The leg supports may be moved up and down or may be splayed laterally.

A method of depositing a metal film on a substrate with patterned features includes placing a substrate with patterned features into a photo-induced chemical vapor deposition (PI-CVD) process chamber. The method also includes depositing a metal film by PI-CVD to fill the patterned features from bottom up.

A LED lamp which could directly replace an ordinary tungsten, halogen, or electricity-saving light bulb includes a filament, a lamp base and a thermally conductive electric insulator. The filament includes at least one AC LED device, and the thermally conductive electric insulator is filled in a cavity of the lamp base to mechanically contact with the filament and an electrode of the lamp base. When the AC LED device is powered on, the thermally conductive electric insulator provides a thermal channel to transfer heat from the filament to the electrode for heat dissipation enhancement. The LED lamp can be directly inserted into an ordinary bulb socket that is generally used in lighting fixtures, without having to modify the system of the lighting fixtures or use an additional adapter.

A control device (D), for a spacecraft (S1) of a group of spacecraft moving in formation, comprises i) an assembly consisting of three antennas (A1-A3) installed on a face of the spacecraft (S1) and capable of emitting and/or receiving first and second RF signals exhibiting first and second frequencies spaced apart by a chosen frequency gap, ii) first measurement means (M1) charged with determining first and second differences in path length between antennas (A1-A3), corresponding to the first frequency and to the frequency gap, on the basis of the first and second signals received by the antennas and originating from another spacecraft, iii) second measurement means (M2) charged with delivering measurements of rotation undergone by the spacecraft (S1), and iv) processing means (MT) a) charged with coarsely estimating the direction of transmission of the signals received on the basis of first and second initial path length differences, b) with ordering the positioning of the spacecraft (S1) so that a chosen axis of a frame of reference tied to said spacecraft is aligned with respect to the coarse direction of transmission, c) with ordering the rotational turning of the spacecraft (S1) about the chosen axis, d) with precisely estimating the direction of transmission of the signals emitted by the other spacecraft (Si′) on the basis of the rotation measurement and of a measurement of variation of the first path length difference induced by this rotation.
