Abstract:
A computer apparatus and a resetting method for a real time clock (RTC) of the computer apparatus are provided. The resetting method for the RTC includes: generating a judging result by determining whether the computer apparatus is in an S5 state and determining whether a plurality of pre-determined keys are simultaneously pressed; pulling down a resume reset signal according to the judging result and correspondingly pulling down an operating voltage; pulling down an S5 enabling signal after pulling down the operating voltage for a pre-determined delay time; generating an RTC reset signal for resetting the RTC after pulling down the S5 enabling signal is pulled down.
Abstract:
A layout structure for improving a polysilicon load resistor which has a uniform high resistance is disclosed. A polysilicon film is used as the high resistance load element so that the film has a relatively high resistance. However, the resistance of these resistors often varies. This variation can be up to two orders of magnitude. The non-uniform resistance is caused by hydrogen penetration into the polysilicon resistor. The solution of the present is to layout the SRAM cell so that the polysilicon resistor is completely covered by one of these subsequent layers. In the present invention, the polysilicon resistor is partially covered by different layers, such as a subsequent metal layer or polysilicon layer.

Abstract:
A method for forming nano-scale metal particles by a novel reducing agent is described. The method can be carried out at room temperature and under an atmospheric environment by relatively simple processes to prepare nano-scale metal particles with a diameter less than 20 nm. This method comprises the following steps. At first, a first blending process is performed to blend a metal salt and a first solvent together to form a first solution. Then, a second blending process is performed to blend a reducing agent and a second solvent together to form a second solution. The reducing agent comprises one compound selected from the group consisting of the following or combination thereof: boron-containing hydride and boron-containing hydrocarbon. Following that, a third blending process is performed to blend the first solution and the second solution together to form a third solution. Finally, the reducing agent is used to reduce the metal salt in the third solution to form the nano-scale metal particles. In addition, if a dispersing agent is added after the nano-scale metal particles are formed, the nano-scale metal particles can have a particle diameter less than 10 nm.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a polysilicon resistor which has a uniform high resistance includes a thermal process to increase the hydrogen concentration uniformity in the polysilicon resistor. The thermal step increases the diffusion of the hydrogen into and out of the third polysilicon, thereby helping to equalize the hydrogen concentration within the polysilicon resistor. The more uniform hydrogen concentration causes the resistance of the polysilicon resistor to be more uniform.
