Abstract: A power management technique in a light emitting diode (LED) system is disclosed. The LED system includes a plurality of LED driver connected in series, each LED driver configured to regulate the current flowing through a corresponding subset of a plurality of LED strings. Each LED driver determines the minimum tail voltage of the LED strings of the corresponding subset, compares the determined minimum tail voltage with an indicator of a minimum tail voltage of one or more other subsets provided from an upstream LED driver in the series, and then provides an indicator of the lower of the two tail voltages to the downstream LED driver. In this manner an indicator of the minimum tail voltage of the plurality of LED strings is cascaded through the series. A feedback controller monitors the minimum tail voltage represented by the cascaded indicator and accordingly adjusts an output voltage provided to the head ends of the plurality of LED strings.

Abstract: A rework method of a metal hard mask layer is provided. First, a material layer is provided. A dielectric layer, a first metal hard mask layer, and a patterned first dielectric hard mask layer have been sequentially formed on the material layer. There is a defect on a region of the first metal hard mask layer, and therefore the region of the first metal hard mask layer is not able to be patterned. After that, the patterned first dielectric hard mask layer and the first metal hard mask layer are removed. A planarization process is then performed on the dielectric layer. Next, a second metal hard mask layer and a second dielectric hard mask layer are sequentially formed on the dielectric layer.

Abstract: A distributed collaborative computer system is provided that comprises a plurality of server computers interconnected via a high-speed link. Client computers can connect to any available server computer and start or join a conference hosted on either the server computer to which the client computer is connected or any other server in the system. As a result, the system and method of the present invention is easily scalable to support an arbitrary number of participants to a conference by merely adding the appropriate number of server computers to the system. In addition, by replicating the conference information on more than one server computer, the single point of failure limitation is eliminated. In fact, if a server hosting or participating in a conference malfunctions, the failure is detected by other server computers and the client computer is able to reconnect to the conference through a new server computer.

Abstract: Method for selective fabrication of high capacitance density areas in a low dielectric constant material and related structure are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first area of a dielectric layer is covered, for example with photoresist, while a second area of the dielectric layer is exposed to a dielectric conversion source such as E-beams, I-beams, oxygen plasma, or an appropriate chemical. The exposure causes the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer in the second area to increase. A number of capacitor trenches are etched in the second area of the dielectric. The capacitor trenches are then filled with an appropriate metal, such as copper, and a chemical mechanical polish is performed. The second area in which the capacitor trenches have been etched and filled has a higher capacitance density relative to the first area. In another embodiment, the exposure to the dielectric conversion source is not performed until after the chemical mechanical polish has been performed. In yet another embodiment, a blanket layer of metal, such as aluminum, is first deposited. The blanket layer of metal is then etched to form metal lines. Then a gap fill dielectric is utilized to fill the gaps between the remaining metal lines. A first area of the gap fill dielectric is then covered and a second area of the gap fill dielectric is exposed to a dielectric conversion source. After exposure to the dielectric conversion source, the dielectric constant of the gap fill dielectric in the second area increases. The metal lines in the second area can then be used as capacitor electrodes of a high density capacitor.
