    摘要: A system for protecting an integrated circuit (IC) from electrostatic discharge (ESD) events includes a sensing circuit that detects an occurrence of an ESD event on one of a plurality of power supply rails of the IC and, in response, outputs an alert signal identifying the occurrence of the ESD event. The system includes a driver circuit that, responsive to receiving the alert signal, outputs an enable signal, and a cascaded switch. The cascaded switch includes first and second gates disposed upon a channel located between a drain of the cascaded switch coupled to a first power supply rail and a source of the cascaded switch coupled to a second power supply rail. Each of the two gates receives the enable signal and, responsive to the enable signal, the cascaded switch closes to establish a coupling between the first power supply rail and the second power supply rail.

The base die further includes contacts disposed on a back side of the base die and through-die vias coupled to the contacts and coupled to programmable logic of the base die. In addition, the base die includes a first probe pad configured to couple test input, a second probe pad configured to couple test output and a third probe pad configured to couple control signals.

    摘要: A gap-filling process is provided. A substrate having a dielectric layer thereon is provided. The dielectric layer has an opening therein. A gap-filling material layer is formed over the dielectric layer and inside the opening. A portion of the gap-filling material is removed from the gap-filling material layer to expose the dielectric layer. A gap-filling material treatment of the surface of the gap-filling material layer and the dielectric layer is carried out to planarize the gap-filling material layer so that a subsequently formed bottom anti-reflection coating or material layer over the gap-filling material layer can have a high degree of planarity.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of forming shallow trench isolation. In the method, a first mask and a second mask layer are made of polysilicon and silicon oxide, respectively. Part of the first mask layer is oxidized into a protective oxide layer during thermal oxidation for forming a liner oxide layer. The protective oxide layer can protect the top corner of a trench from he formation of pits during subsequent etching for removing a pad oxide layer, thereby preventing a kink effect. Furthermore, after forming the liner oxide layer and before filling the trench with an insulting layer, a buffer layer formed over a substrate not only prevents the sidewalls of the trench from oxidizing, but also prevents a lateral etching damage during subsequent etching for removing the pad oxide layer.

    摘要: This invention describes the use and methods of fabrication of a double destruction phase shift mask. The double destruction phase shift mask combines transparent phase shifting regions and attenuating phase shifting regions to form interference patterns in light projected through the mask which reduce the light intensity to nearly zero in the regions of the projected light corresponding to pattern elements. This eliminates the ghost line which can occur with conventional phase shifting masks. The double destruction phase shift mask provides improved depth of focus and edge definition.

    摘要: The method is for manufacturing sealed vacuum field emission devices. A field EMITTER TIP is formed on a silicon substrate. A first dielectric layer is formed over the field EMITTER TIP and over the silicon substrate. The first dielectric layer is planarized to provide a smooth top surface co-planar with the top of the field EMITTER TIP. A grid metal layer is formed over the first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is formed over the grid metal layer. The second dielectric layer is patterned to provide an opening, vertically located over the field emission device, to the grid metal layer. The grid metal layer is patterned in the area defined by the opening. The first dielectric layer is removed in the region defined by the opening, and also a portion of the first dielectric layer under the grid metal layer. The upper portion of the opening is narrowed. A second metal layer is formed over the second dielectric layer and over the opening, in a vacuum environment, such that the field EMITTER TIP is in a sealed vacuum.
