Abstract:
A digital dynamic trace adjustment pulse width modulate controller uses a core processing unit to receive a phase signal and outputs a pulse width modulate signal. It is observed that when the output voltage is rising or dropping then changing the pulse width modulate signal of the output end, the duty rate of the phase signal will be maintained at fifty percent degree.
Abstract:
In one embodiment of the invention, a MEMS structure includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a mobile element. The first electrode is coupled to a first voltage source. The second electrode is coupled to a second voltage source. The mobile element includes a third electrode coupled to a third voltage source. A steady voltage difference between the first electrode and the third electrode is used to tune the natural frequency of the structure to a scanning frequency of an application. An oscillating voltage difference between the second electrode and the third electrode at the scanning frequency of the application is used to oscillate the mobile element. In one embodiment, the mobile unit is a mirror.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a post-etch treatment for plasma etched metal-comprising features in semiconductor devices. The post-etch treatment significantly reduces or eliminates surface corrosion of the etched metal-comprising feature. It is particularly important to prevent the formation of moisture on the surface of the feature surface prior to an affirmative treatment to remove corrosion-causing contaminants from the feature surface. Avoidance of moisture formation is assisted by use of a high vacuum; use of an inert, moisture-free purge gas; and by maintaining the substrate at a sufficiently high temperature to volatilize moisture. The affirmative post-etch treatment utilizes a plasma to expose the etched metal-comprising feature to sufficient hydrogen which is in a kinetic state permitting reaction with residual halogen-comprising residues on the etched surface, while maintaining the etched feature surface at a temperature which supports volatilization of the byproducts of a reaction between the active hydrogen species and the halogen-comprising residues. For an etched copper surface, if moisture forms on the etched surface prior to an affirmative treatment to remove corrosion-causing contaminants, it is very important to avoid contact of the etched surface with pollutants which are capable of forming copper carbonates and/or copper sulfates.
