Provided are a lift pin capable of preventing aluminum from depositing on the lift pin when depositing a metallic layer on a wafer through chemical vapor deposition. a system using the lift pin, and a method of manufacturing the same. The lift pin is made of stainless steel and is oxidized at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, such that the lift pin is not deposited with aluminum during a CVD process. Since the CVD vacuum processing chamber utilizes the heater and the lift pin which are made of oxidized SUS material, aluminum does not deposit on the heater and the lift. Therefore, when the lift pin is lowered, the lift pin is not lowered by its own weight, thereby preventing a wafer from being broken. Also, the lift pin is prevented from being ruptured by a robot moving in and out of an opening of the CVD vacuum processing chamber.

A row address strobe signal input buffer and method for converting an external input row address strobe signal to an internal signal and protecting the internal signal from background noise in the circuit. In the preferred embodiment the invention level-shifts the row address strobe signal to an internal signal of CMOS signal level. It then latches the internal signal to its current state and opens a transmission gate cutting off the internal signal from the external row address strobe signal. This prevents glitches in the internal signal due to noise in the circuit introduced due to the external row address strobe signal being of a TTL level. The gate remains open for a delayed period of time, the delay determined by a delay circuit or by the length of a pulse from a pulse generator. After the delay period, the gate is closed, restoring the signal connection between the external row address signal and the internal signal.

A digital interface apparatus operable to transmit and receive non-compressed digital data can allow a data interface between digital image apparatuses such as a digital VCR and a digital camcorder and a computer. A transmission timing controller in the digital interface apparatus for transmitting and receiving digital data via an IEEE 1394 serial bus, generates a clock select signal and timing signals. A transmission memory records data to be transmitted in synchronization with the clock designated by the clock select signal according to the timing signals generated by the transmission timing controller and outputs the recorded data in synchronization with a third clock. A controller generates the third clock, adds additional information to the data output from the transmission memory to then be transmitted via the IEEE 1394 serial bus, receives data transmitted via the IEEE 1394 serial bus, and restores a frame signal from the information added in the received data. A reception timing controller generates the clock select signal and timing signals. A reception memory records data output from the controller in synchronization with the third clock supplied from the controller according to timing signals generated by the reception timing controller, and outputs the recorded data in synchronization with the clock designated by the clock select signal generated by the reception timing controller.
