    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for detecting the position of a coordinate probe relative to a digitizing tablet, a sensing coil grid provided on a working region of the tablet includes a plurality of sensing coils, each of which is U-shaped and has a front section and a grounded rear section. The coils are arranged in parallel along an axis of the working region in an overlapping manner with the front sections of consecutive ones of the coils being arranged in succession, and with the rear sections of the coils also being arranged in succession. During the sequential scanning of the coils in order to detect the electric currents induced therein and to generate a grid signal when the coordinate probe is disposed on the working region, a phase selection circuit inverts one of front and rear half-cycles of the grid signal, depending on whether a front scanning or rear scanning operation is being performed, and a signal processing circuit detects the presence of a predetermined transition of the inverted signal from the phase selection circuit. The signal processing circuit generates a count output corresponding to time elapsed before the predetermined transition is detected, and the count output is converted by a processor into a coordinate of the coordinate probe along the axis of the working region of the tablet.

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure including a highly strained selective epitaxial top layer suitable for use in fabricating a strained channel transistor. The top layer is deposited on the uppermost of a series of one or more lower layers. The lattice of each layer is mismatched with the lattice of its subjacent layer by an amount not less than the lattice mismatch between the lowest layer of the series and a substrate on which it resides. A trench is formed in the uppermost series layer. The trench has rounded corners so that a dielectric material filling the trench conforms to the round corners. The rounded corners are produced by heating the uppermost series layer after trench formation.
