A method, including receiving a sequence of events to be counted. The method further includes, in response to each event, setting a respective bit in a memory that consists of multiple words organized in tiers, such that a number of set bits in the memory is indicative of a count of the received events, and such that each set bit in a first tier corresponds to a respective word in a second tier and is indicative of whether the corresponding word is fully populated with set bits.

A method includes generating a first sequence of data words for sending over an interface. A second sequence of signatures is computed and interleaved into the first sequence, so as to produce an interleaved sequence in which each given signature cumulatively signs the data words that are signed by a previous signature in the interleaved sequence and the data words located between the previous signature and the given signature. The interleaved sequence is transmitted over the interface.

The present invention provides a wafer center calibrator to improve the uniformity of the etching, or deposition on a wafer, which is spoiled by the poor assembly of the focus ring with the wafer loader. Thus comprising of a main part, at least one arc part, a handle or any other means by which the calibrator is rotated a round. To use the wafer center calibrator provided by the present invention, at least one arc part is placed into the ring-shaped gap formed between the focus ring and the wafer loader, then the wafer center calibrator is rotated around by a user or any other means. At least one arc part rubs against the focus ring and pushes through where the ring-shaped gap is narrower. Meanwhile, the calibration is rapid and simple, therefore the improvement of the uniformity of the etching or deposition on the wafer can be made in an economical and effective way.

A method for fabricating a shallow trench isolation structure with self-aligned floating gates is described. The method utilizes a sacrificial layer to form an isolation trench with ladder profile on a substrate. A tunnel oxide layer, a floating gate polysilicon layer and a patterned silicon nitride layer as a hard mask layer are sequentially formed on the substrate. The floating gate polysilicon layer is etched up to the tunnel oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer serves as a hard mask. The sacrificial layer is formed around the floating gate polysilicon layer in situ. After etching the substrate for forming the trench, the sacrificial layer is removed. Heating the trench forms a liner oxide layer and then depositing a silicon dioxide layer fills the trench. The method according to the invention reduces the voids in the trench and improves the yield of mass production.

摘要:
The present invention discloses a universal clock generator, which comprises a high frequency clock region for generating high frequency clocks and a low frequency clock region for generating high frequency clocks. The low frequency clock region includes at least one delay lock loop for increasing the number of high frequency clocks of the high frequency clock region. When the number of high frequency clocks (such as a CPU clock, SDRAM clock, AGP clock and PCI clock) is not enough, the delay lock loop of the low frequency clock region can be cascaded to support insufficient clocks.
