摘要:
A method for performing a protocol interfacing operation for a plurality of nodes in an IEEE1394 serial bus network. Upon initialization of an IEEE1394 serial bus due to node addition or deletion, each of the nodes formats a protocol identifier packet and sends it to the other nodes. A bus manager stores the protocol identifier packets of the nodes into a protocol map. Then, a source node sends a protocol query packet including a target node identifier to the bus manager to request the transfer of data. Upon receiving the protocol query packet from the source node, the bus manager retrieves a communication protocol from the protocol map and sends a protocol set packet including information about the retrieved communication protocol to the source node and a target node to perform the transfer of data between the source and target nodes through the communication protocol. Therefore, the data transfer can efficiently be performed with no necessity for checking protocols one by one.

Methods of forming floating-gate ferroelectric random-access-memory (FFRAM) devices include the steps of forming vertically integrated FFRAM unit cells having floating-gate transistors and access transistors positioned at different levels on a semiconductor substrate to increase the density at which the unit cells may be integrated. Preferred methods include the steps of forming a first transistor having opposing floating and control gate electrodes, at a surface of a semiconductor substrate, and then forming a first insulating layer having a first contact hole therein, on the first transistor. The first transistor comprises a layer of ferroelectric material between the floating and control gate electrodes, which can be polarized in respective first and second states to retain logic 1 and logic 0 data. Steps are then performed to form a first electrical interconnect (e.g., conductive plug) in the first contact hole and electrically coupled to the control gate electrode. Then, a series of steps are performed to form a vertically integrated second transistor on the first insulating layer. Here, the second transistor is formed as a field effect transistor having a drain region electrically coupled to the control gate of the first transistor by the first electrical interconnect. The steps of forming a second transistor may include the steps of forming a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate on the first insulating layer, forming a gate electrode on the silicon portion of the SOI substrate, and then forming source, drain and channel regions in the silicon portion of the SOI substrate.

A method for forming a dynamic random access memory device includes the step of forming a memory cell access transistor on a semiconductor substrate wherein the memory cell access transistor includes a source/drain region at a surface of the semiconductor substrate. An insulating layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate and on the memory cell access transistor wherein the insulating layer has a contact hole therein exposing a portion of the source/drain region of the substrate. A first conductive layer is chemical vapor deposited on the exposed portion of the source/drain region of the substrate, and a second conductive layer is physical vapor deposited on the first conductive layer opposite the substrate. A dielectric layer is formed on the second conductive layer opposite the substrate, and a third conductive layer is formed on the dielectric layer opposite the substrate.

A capacitor in a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method for the capacitor are provided using a triple film including a Ti layer, a TiN layer, and a Ta layer. The capacitor has a first insulating film formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, the first insulating film having a center hole and at least one step between the center hole and the rest of the first insulating film, a spacer formed on the inner wall of the contact hole, a first conductive layer filling the contact hole, a triple film formed on the center of the first insulating film, a second conductive layer formed on the triple film, a second insulating film formed on the resultant structure, and a third conductive layer formed on the second insulating film. The Ta layer is placed in between the second conductive layer and both the Ti layer and the TiN layer to prevent the production of a metal oxide and nitrogen gas from a reaction between oxygen and the Ti and TiN layers.

Apparatus and method for determining the condition of the floor to be cleaned by a cleaning robot. The apparatus comprises an ultrasonic wave signal transmitting circuit for transmitting an ultrasonic wave signal to an ultrasonic wave signal transmitter under the control of a microcomputer, a receiving amplifying unit for amplifying the ultrasonic wave signal transmitted from the ultrasonic wave signal transmitter and received in a ultrasonic wave signal receiver, a receiving demodulating unit for smoothing the output signal from the receiving amplifying unit to demodulate it and then apply it to the microcomputer. According to the control of the microcomputer, the ultrasonic wave signal is transmitted for a predetermined period. The period from the time when the ultrasonic wave signal is transmitted to the time when the ultrasonic wave signal is received in the ultrasonic wave signal receiver is measured. Then, the distance between the position of the ultrasonic wave signal receiver and the floor to be cleaned is calculated from the measured period. Accordingly, it can be determined whether the floor to be cleaned is a normal floor, a floor covered with a carpet, or stairs, thereby enabling correct recognition of the condition of the floor to be cleaned, without being adversely affected from environment.
