    摘要: Patterning effects on a substrate are reduced during radiation-based heating by filtering the radiation source or configuring the radiation source to produce radiation having different spectral characteristics. For the filtering, an optical filter may be used to truncate specific wavelengths of the radiation. The different configurations of the radiation source include a combination of one or more continuum radiation sources with one or more discrete spectrum sources, a combination of multiple discrete spectrum sources, or a combination of multiple continuum radiation sources. Furthermore, one or more of the radiation sources may be configured to have a substantially non-normal angle of incidence or polarized to reduce patterning effects on a substrate during radiation-based heating.

    摘要: During fabrication, a rotating semiconductor substrate is radiated in accordance with a thermal recipe. Temperature measurements of the semiconductor substrate are obtained along with the position of the semiconductor substrate at the time of each temperature measurement. It is then determined for the position of the semiconductor substrate whether at least one particular temperature measurement of the temperature measurements should be filtered. If so, at least one filtered temperature measurement is obtained. The radiation of the semiconductor substrate is subsequently controlled based on the temperature measurements, the at least one filtered temperature measurement, and the thermal recipe.

    摘要: A receiver for a multi-mode wireless device is provided. The receiver has multiple analog RF front end modules, with each module supporting a different mode of operation. The receiver has a single digital backend module for generating a digital baseband signal. A controller selects one of the available RF modules to use, and the selected RF module provides an analog communication signal to the digital backend. Each available mode has an associated set of factors. When a particular mode is selected, the set of factors associated with the selected mode is provided to the digital backend. The digital backend uses these factors to adjust the processing characteristics of its components, such as its analog to digital converter, filters, and gain controller. In this way, the single digital backend is adaptable to the requirements of each of the available radio modes.

    摘要: A rapid thermal processing (RTP) system including a transmission pyrometer monitoring the temperature dependent absorption of the silicon wafer for radiation from the RTP lamps at a reduced power level. A look-up table is created relating unnormalized values of photodetector photocurrents with wafer and radiant lamp temperatures. A calibrating step measures the photocurrent with known wafer and lamp temperatures and all photocurrents measured thereafter are accordingly normalized. The transmission pyrometer may be used for closed loop control for thermal treatments below 500° C. or used in the pre-heating phase for a higher temperature process including radiation pyrometry in closed loop control. The pre-heating temperature ramp rate may be controlled by measuring the initial ramp rate and readjusting the lamp power accordingly. Radiation and transmission pyrometers may be included in an integrated structure with a beam splitter dividing radiation from the wafer.

    摘要: A dynamically varying linearity system “DVLS” capable of varying the linearity of a radio frequency (RF) front-end of a communication device responsive to receiving a condition signal indicating a desired mode of operation of a transmitter. The DVLS may include a condition signal indicative of the desired mode of operation and a controller that adjusts the linearity of the transmitter responsive to the condition signal. The condition signal may be responsive to a user interface. The controller, responsive to the condition signal, may dynamically adjust the operating current of the transmitter.
