Abstract:
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit is disclosed, which comprises an ESD detection circuit and protection switches. If an ESD event occurs, the ESD detection circuit turns off the protection switches so as to protect an application circuit provided in integrated circuits (IC) from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge, and if not, the ESD detection circuit turns on the protection switches so as to make the application circuit provided in integrated circuits (IC) function normally.
Abstract:
A process for removing particles from a reticle is described, wherein the process is performed by using a pellicle particle detector (PPD) and a particle removing tool disposed in front of the PPD as well as fixed to the PPD. The particle removing tool includes at least one gas spray member directed toward a surface of the reticle for removing particles. The process includes steps as follows, step (a) loading the reticle into the PPD through the gas spray member to detect whether the reticle has particles thereon; step (b) ejecting the reticle from the PPD; step (c) turning on the particle removing tool as well as going back to step (a) when particles are detected on the reticle, and ending the particle removal process when no particle is detected on the reticle.
Abstract:
A method for measuring the overlay error of an exposure machine is provided. The method includes disposing a pre-fabricated matching mask and a pre-fabricated matching wafer in two exposure machines and performing an exposure. Then, the image data obtained from the two exposure machines are subtracted from each other to eliminate the error resulting from the matching mask and the matching wafer. Therefore, a more accurate assessment of the overlay error between the two machines can be obtained and a more effective control of the variation between the machines can be achieved.
Abstract:
A reticle transferring support. The reticle transferring support has a supporting basefor containing a reticle, a plurality of braces for supporting the reticle, and a plurality of holders for fixing the position of the reticle. The braces are spheroids composed of soft plastic, and the position of the braces is adjustable so that the reticle will not be arranged. The holders each have an inclined plane so that the position of the reticle will be fixed automatically.
Abstract:
A display including a supporting layer, a flexible layer and a display structure is provided. The display structure has a top side and a bottom side which are opposite to each other. One of the supporting layer and the flexible layer is disposed at the bottom side of the display structure, and the other one of the supporting layer and the flexible layer is disposed at the top side or the bottom side of the display structure. When the supporting layer and the flexible layer are both disposed at the bottom side of the display structure, the flexible layer is located between the supporting layer and the display structure.
Abstract:
An apparatus, a system and a method for stream-based data filtering are disclosed. The apparatus is for filtering data transmitted from a sending end. The data is transmitted one by one by using a plurality of data segments. The data filtering apparatus includes a receiving module, a processing module and a transmission module. The receiving module is for receiving the data segments transmitted from the sending end. The processing module implements virus scanning for the data segments one by one. The transmission module then transmits the data segments which have passed through the virus scanning to a receiving end.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of web content filtering, which can be applied to gateway devices at client ends. When an access request for a web page from a browser is sent, by analyzing the web page content returned from the web site, we can decide whether the page is allowed or not, by early blocking and early bypassing algorithms. It allows making the decision as early as we have enough confidence that the web content should belong to some forbidden category or a normal one. Therefore, the web content determination speed can be improved and users' waiting time can be reduced. Moreover, by the present method, the network gateway devices will be allowed to analyze more web content.
Abstract:
An apparatus for positioning a transport system and a load port is described, including a signal emitting unit disposed on the transport system and a positioning board on the load port. The signal emitting unit has two positioning points thereon capable of emitting two light beams to the positioning board, while the positioning board has two holes thereon at two positions corresponding to the two positioning points. The two light beams can pass through the two holes perpendicular to the positioning board in a horizontal state when the load port is aligned with the transport system.
Abstract:
A thin film transistor substrate, a display apparatus using the same and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes a thin film transistor substrate, a top substrate and a display medium layer. The thin film transistor substrate includes a composite plate and several thin film transistors. The composite plate includes a core material structure and two insulation structures. The core material structure includes a metal layer. The two insulation structures are respectively disposed at two sides of the core material structure so as to sandwich the core material structure therebetween. The thin film transistors are disposed on the composite plate. The display medium layer is disposed between the thin film transistor substrate and the top substrate.
