Abstract: Novel structures and methods for evaluating lines in semiconductor integrated circuits. A first plurality of lines are formed on a wafer each of which includes multiple line sections. All the line sections are of the same length. The electrical resistances of the line sections are measured. Then, a first line geometry adjustment is determined based on the electrical resistances of all the sections. The first line geometry adjustment represents an effective reduction of cross-section size of the lines due to grain boundary electrical resistance. A second plurality of lines of same length and thickness can be formed on the same wafer. Then, second and third line geometry adjustments are determined based on the electrical resistances of these lines measured at different temperatures. The second and third line geometry adjustments represent an effective reduction of cross-section size of the lines due to grain boundary electrical resistance and line surface roughness.

Abstract: A battery charger for charging a battery through controlling a charging regulation circuit is provided. The battery charger includes a current sensing unit and an operational amplifier. The current sensing unit monitors a charging current applied to the battery when the battery charger operates under a constant current mode, thereby generating a first regulation signal to the charging regulation circuit. The operational amplifier compares a battery voltage of the battery with a first reference voltage to generate a comparison result. When the battery charger operates under the constant current mode, the comparison result controls a charging mode transition from the constant current mode to a constant voltage mode. When the battery charger operates under the constant voltage mode, the comparison result acts as a second regulation signal to control the charging regulation circuit.

The spacing chain further includes a sequence of spacers interposed between the balls whereby the balls will be separated to each other, at least two longitudinally extended flexible strip and a plurality of transverse flexible connecting beam whose two ends respectively are connected to the longitudinal flexible strip, whereby the spacers attach to said connecting beam through an elastic member.

Abstract: A pixel including a transistor, a liquid crystal capacitor, a storage capacitor and a coupling capacitor is provided. The first end of the transistor is connected to a data line, the liquid crystal capacitor and the storage capacitor are coupled between the second end of the transistor and a common voltage, and the coupling capacitor is connected between the second end of the transistor and a select line. After a driving voltage is outputted to the liquid crystal capacitor and the storage capacitor by the data line, the select line inputs a pulse signal to the liquid crystal capacitor through the coupling capacitor. The pulse signal is capable of increasing the ability of the electric field for driving the liquid crystal so that the liquid crystal can still display normally in the bend state even though the lowest pixel voltage is lower than the critical voltage.

Abstract: A battery charger for charging a battery through controlling a charging regulation circuit is provided. The battery charger includes a constant voltage mode controller, a current sensing unit, and a reference voltage generator. The constant voltage mode controller is for comparing a battery voltage of the battery with a first reference voltage to generate a regulation signal, and utilizing the regulation signal to control the charging regulation circuit to regulate a charging current applied to the battery. The current sensing unit is for monitoring the charging current to generate an error signal. The reference voltage generator is for setting the first reference voltage according to the error signal. By adding a voltage generator to the battery charger, the overshoot charging current will be reduced and the mode transition will become smooth.

Abstract: A method for trimming impedance matching devices in high-speed circuits includes determining an electrical parameter associated with a first tantalum nitride (TaN) resistor used as an impedance matching device in the circuit under test, and comparing the determined electrical parameter associated with the first TaN resistor to a desired design value of the electrical parameter. The resistance value of the first TaN resistor is altered by application of a trimming voltage thereto, wherein the trimming voltage is based on a voltage-resistance characteristic curve of the first TaN resistor. It is then determined whether the altered resistance value of the first TaN resistor causes the electrical parameter to equal the desired design value thereof, and the altering of the resistance value of the first TaN resistor by application of a trimming voltage is repeated until the electrical parameter equals the desired design value thereof.
