Abstract:
A wafer is provided and loaded in a reaction chamber. Subsequently, the wafer is lifted up, and a dry clean process is performed on the wafer to clean the front side, the back side, and the bevel of the wafer. Following that, a deposition process is performed on the wafer. The dry clean process and the deposition process are carried out in an in-situ manner.
Abstract:
A non-volatile memory device implements self-convergence during the normal erase cycle through control of physical aspects, such as thickness, width, area, etc., of the dielectric layers in the gate structure as well as of the overall gate structure. Self-convergence can also be aided during the normal erase cycle by ramping the erase voltage applied to the control gate during the erase cycle.

Abstract:
A method for controlling an apparatus to perform a multi-layer chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process with a polishing rate for a plurality of process runs. For each process run, a multilayered structure with a first thickness formed on a wafer is polished and a second thickness of the multilayered structure is predetermined to be polished away. The method comprises steps of receiving a post-CMP thickness information of the multilayered structure of a first process run, wherein for the first process run, the CMP process is performed for a first CMP process time. Then, a second CMP process time is determined according to the first CMP process time, the first thickness and the post-CMP thickness. Further, the second CMP process time is provided to the apparatus for processing a second process run posterior to the first process run.
Abstract:
A control device for multiple lamp currents of a liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight source, comprising an electronic power switch, a transformer, an inverter and an integrated circuit (IC) feedback control module. The transformer has a primary side connected to the electronic power switch and a secondary side having two ends each connected to an end of a set of lamp composed of two lamps. The inverter has three sets of coil connected to the other end of the two sets of lamp. The IC feedback control module is connected between the inverter and the electronic power switch and through which currents flown through the two sets of lamp may be balanced. Meanwhile, the current flown through the inverter is feedback to the IC feedback control module by which a control signal is outputted to the electronic power switch by determining and processing the feedback current, thereby controlling an output signal from the electronic power switch. Therefore, luminance of the multiple lamps in the LCD backlight source may be controlled and maintained.
