Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor dielectric layer comprising the steps of providing a substrate having a plurality of semiconductor devices already formed thereon, and then forming a first dielectric layer over the substrate. Next, a silicon oxy-nitride layer is formed over the first dielectric layer, and finally a second dielectric layer is formed over the silicon oxy-nitride layer.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a type of bit line is able to form a small-sized bit line. In this method a first dielectric layer, a first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer are formed on a substrate in sequence. The first dielectric layer is exposed, then a second conducting wire and a first conducting wire are formed, respectively. A portion of the second conducting wire is removed by a cleaning liquid, so that the feature size of the second conducting wire is less than the feature size of the first conducting wire. An oxide layer is formed on the second conducting wire and the first conducting wire by performing a thermal treatment. The feature size of the second conducting wire is approximately equal to the feature size of the first conducting wire.
Abstract:
Nanowire-based mechanical switching devices are described. For example, a nanowire relay includes a nanowire disposed in a void disposed above a substrate. The nanowire has an anchored portion and a suspended portion. A first gate electrode is disposed adjacent the void, and is spaced apart from the nanowire. A first conductive region is disposed adjacent the first gate electrode and adjacent the void, and is spaced apart from the nanowire.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods that can be used in a wireless communication system, and systems adapted to use such methods. In a preferred form the methods are useful in channel estimation in a wireless communication system using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The system is provided with a control block to optimize channel estimation.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a laser-aiming device for a radiant thermometer, which comprises a laser adjustment seat, a laser device, and a prism having two inclined faces. The laser adjustment seat is arranged on a temperature detection device of the radiant thermometer. The laser device and the prism are arranged on the laser adjustment device. The laser device generates a laser beam. The prism is located at the illuminated side of the laser beam and coaxial with the laser device, refracting the laser beam into two laser beams that generate two laser spots designating the detectable area of the radiant thermometer.
Abstract:
Described herein are processing techniques for fabrication of stretchable and/or flexible electronic devices using laser ablation patterning methods. The laser ablation patterning methods utilized herein allow for efficient manufacture of large area (e.g., up to 1 mm2 or greater or 1 m2 or greater) stretchable and/or flexible electronic devices, for example manufacturing methods permitting a reduced number of steps. The techniques described herein further provide for improved heterogeneous integration of components within an electronic device, for example components having improved alignment and/or relative positioning within an electronic device. Also described herein are flexible and/or stretchable electronic devices, such as interconnects, sensors and actuators.
Abstract:
A controlling method and device for data transmission including the steps of providing a system bus for connecting a first transmission channel and a second transmission channel with a command processor, adjusting a transmitting direction of the system bus according to a transmitting direction of the second transmission channel, and proceeding the data processing procedures of the second transmission channel, wherein parts of data processing procedures of the first transmission channel will last during a interval between the system bus adjusting the transmitting direction and the data processing procedures of the second transmission channel start on.The present invention ensure that the independence between every data caching and processing reduces the times of flushing the cached data from the data transmission channel and re-seeking through the source, shortening the transmission time, increasing facileness and improving the efficiency of the data transmission.
